DICE is hard at work on the next Battlefield 2042 update, which they’ve confirmed is slated for early December and will feature a host of fixes, addressing some of the game’s biggest issues. Here’s what we know is coming with Battlefield 2042 next update 6.2.
In a November check-in post, DICE’s community manager TotalFPS (Keven Johnson) provided players with an update now that the season has been live for a few weeks. Specifically around ongoing issues, such as black screens at the end of rounds, hit registration, and other bugs and exploits, noting that the studio is working on a fix and that we should expect it to arrive with Battlefield 2042 update 6.2 in early December.
Battlefield 2042 Next Update 6.2 Details:
These are the high-priority issues the team has been working on, though they won’t be the only fixes coming with the next update.
-
Black Screen during End of Round – Some of you are currently benefiting from changes we’ve made for this issue with Update 6.1, but our work towards a resolution for the remaining reports continues. We’re now working towards a resolution as part of Update 6.2 in early December which aims to resolve the majority of occurrences for you who are still experiencing it. As always, we will continue to monitor the situation closely once the Update goes live to make additional changes when we’re able to do so.
-
Hit Registration Issues – We’ve seen your comments about hits sometimes not registering. While a rare occurrence on most maps, this was particularly felt on some areas of Redacted during heightened moments of conflict where defensive gadgets are being stacked. Hang tight! The team has identified the cause and will include a fix in the next game update.
-
Out of Bounds Combat on Redacted – Thank you for your continued help in highlighting areas of Redacted where out of bounds combat could happen. This will also be addressed in the upcoming game update.
-
Invisible Hardware – No, the penguins haven’t stolen your hardware! We are aware that some of you occasionally experienced invisible hardware models, such as weapons. We can confirm that this is a client side issue which has no impact on the gameplay of those around you – they’ll still be able to see the models. We’ll also have a fix for this in this game update.
-
Matchmaking with AI Soldiers – As we’ve previously indicated on BattlefieldComm, we are aware that sometimes players are matchmaking into matches where AI Soldiers take up too many slots. While AI Soldiers will always be there to ensure that matches remain full, no matter the player count, we will continue to improve this experience over time.
Again, this won’t be everything addressed in the coming update, so expect a bigger list of fixes and changes once those patch notes drop. Hopefully, this will be the last of the black screen, an issue surfacing since the launch of Season 6. Though we’re more excited to see the improved hit detection, as while DICE calls it a “rare” occurrence, I think plenty of us can agree that hit detection has felt off for some time now.
Battlefield 2042 Update 6.2 arrives early December.
