Battlefield 6 has issued a fix for an issue where jump momentum gets “unintentionally interrupted” depending on what weapon you have equipped.
Battlefield Studios didn’t go into too much detail about what caused the issue, or what weapons were at the root of it, but rapidly deployed a fix “across all platforms” so that you can now keep your momentum when moving from a sprint into a jump.
The team has also been busy over the weekend “monitoring” player counts on Breakthrough, too, after noticing some maps on the mode “are not always filling with the intended player counts”.
“We are deploying adjustments on the backend to improve the consistency and create the best experience possible for this mode,” the development team said.
Yesterday, EA apologised for an EA app outage that prevented players who’d pre-ordered Battlefield 6 directly from EA “from accessing the game”, promising to issue a free premium Season Pass and 12 Hardware and 12 Career 60-Minute Boosters to all those affected.
Battlefield 6 has rocketed into Steam’s chart of the biggest-ever games, becoming Steam’s fourteenth most-popular game of all time by concurrent user numbers on the PC platform within 24 hours of its launch. The record comes despite players facing huge queues as servers reach maximum capacity, and lead producer David Sirland revealing that the team was planning for launch day queues.
“Battlefield 6 delivers a thrilling multiplayer reset and a decent, if derivative single-player. But it still displays nagging doubts about what makes Battlefield special,” reads our Battlefield 6 review.
