While it still needs to go through certification and doesn’t have a release date yet, Visceral Games has detailed what you can expect to find in the first post-launch Battlefield Hardline update.
Keeping in mind that there are some issues fixed not listed, here’s all the available patch notes so far, which includes big changes to the couch:
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a server crash in Rescue

- You can now set the time limit to 0 and it disables the time limit instead of instantly ending the round in Blood Money
- Various fixes for server crashes with rental servers (multiple issues addressed)
- Fix for the timer in Conquest freezing when the user set the time limit higher than 800
- Fix for MP squad join issue where after the squad leader gets disconnected, a new leader cannot kick members or disband
- Fix for the patch awarded in released game for reaching Rank 10 in the Beta

- Fix on XB1 for players using invite/join on friend after Quickmatching

- Greatly decreased nearby bullet impact flinch; your aimpoint will not shift from rounds striking the environment near you

- Player should no longer Quickmatch into servers with unsupported numbers of players
- K10: Reduce max damage to 33 and min damage to 8
- Saiga and PTR: reduce recoil to bring more in line with Cop faction DMRs
- HCAR and HK51: reduce recoil to bring more in line with SCAR-H and SA-58
- .410 Jury: Increase damage per pellet to become more effective
- FMG-9: increase damage per round to 25 and push out falloff start range to make these weapons more effective
- Battlerifle min damage increased to 25 across the board
- AKM min damage reduced to 24
Visceral adds, “If your favorite fix isn’t listed here, don’t despair – we’re working hard every day to improve the experience, and we’re always listening to feedback.”
