While game patches are usually rolled out for new content and bug fixes, there are accidental bugs that come with these said patches from time to time. Unfortunately, this is the case with the latest game patch for Battlefield 5. There will be a Battlefield 5 upcoming update and server-side hotfix to squash some of these bugs though.
In today’s This Week in Battlefield V post by DICE, the studio outlined what we can expect from the studio this week in terms of announcements, which you can read below (which isn’t much).

As part of the announcement, DICE mentioned that a Battlefield 5 upcoming patch and hotfix will be rolled out to fix a few things which are listed below. No times have been mentioned though, so it could be anytime this week.

We’re working with the Dev team to deploy a hotfix (Update 4.0.1) that will be both a server side deployment and a client update.
The following items are the focus of the upcoming hotfix:
- Client
- Xbox One Crash Fixes
- General Stability Fixes
