Battlefield 2042 update 3.2 brings major bug fixes and stability improvements

After much backlash from the community regarding the unpolished state of Battlefield 2042, Dice has finally begun to address the ongoing issues of the title.

Battlefield 2042, the latest iteration of EA’s flagship military first-person shooter, had a lot of hype surrounding it. After the World War era detours in Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, Battlefield 2042 brought the series back to its glory days of near-future settings, where the series thrived during the Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 era.

However, aside from the missing single-player campaign and the lackluster Hazard Zone, the title was plagued with many issues, including a massive amount of bugs.

After almost three months, Dice finally addressed the issues and promised to fix them, starting with update 3.2.

Battlefield 2042 update 3.2 patch notes

Battlefield 2042 update 3.2 brings fixes for hit registration issues related to Sundance and vehicle passenger weapons. Dice also resolved several Soldier gameplay-related issues, such as rubberbanding when running behind friendlies or being stuck in a downed and alive loop.
