Since Microsoft’s new console hit the shelves on November 22, Battlefield 4 has been plagued by problems, including but not limited to:
Not being able to connect to EA servers
Campaign saves and multiplayer progress being wiped
Regular crashes and overall stability issues
Not being able to join Friends
Hardcore mode servers being completely unplayable
A “one-hit kill” bug where a single bullet applies multiple times its normal damage
The problem was compounded when, four days ago on November 28, DICE kicked off a full double XP week for Battlefield 4 as an apology for launch issues. Nice gesture, but the Xbox One patch to resolve the problems causing all the launch issues DICE is apologizing for still hasn’t arrived.
But it should sometime this week (hopefully before the double XP week ends on Thursday, December 5). In a post on the Battlefield Control Room, DICE noted the patch is now being finalized:
Just a quick note that we’re finalizing the upcoming Xbox One Game Update and aiming to have that live the week of Dec 2. We will share the patch notes for this update soon. The update will focus on stability and performance, and includes a fix for the so-called “one-shot kill bug”. Stay tuned for full patch notes.
