Developer DICE announced last night that today it is releasing a minor update for the PC version of Battlefield 3. The update is aimed to improve general performance and stability and also to solve some “reproducible crash issues”.
On top of that, the update also includes support for the upcoming Intel “Ivy Bridge” product line and performance improvements on AMD Radeon 7xxx series graphics cards.
List of issues fixed:
- Support for Intel’s new Ivy Bridge product line (as yet unreleased)
- Fixes for two reproducible client crashes:
- Operation Firestorm- Conquest Large – Fixed a client crash when users spawn in certain vehicles.
- Canals – Rush – Fixed a client crash at the 2nd set of mcoms if the player drives a vehicle into the vicinity of the exploding rocket battery.
- AMD Radeon 7xxx series performance improvements
This minor fix is releasing on the 14th February, 8AM UT. This download will be via Origin.
DICE also took the opportunity to remind its community that it is continuing to tweak the game with regards to balance, gameplay, performance and stability. More details regarding further updates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Yeah and when are they fixing the PunkBuster-won’t-let-me-play-my-game-I-paid-good-money-for crash?
