Improvements & Fixes

  • General stability fixes
  • Improved JIP (“Join in Progress”) rules for Social playlists
    • Added thresholds that will prevent JIP in Social playlists depending on the remaining score to victory, score differences between teams in a match, and time remaining in the match. These are tuned on a per-game-mode basis with the goal of reducing negative JIP experiences.
  • Fixed a number of exploits for Warzone
    • Fixed ability to get inside bases to contest
    • Fixed ability to get under the world
    • Fixed ability to destroy the core when you should not be able to
    • Fixed an issue where the red team shield door would sometimes not have proper collision
  • BTB Assault matches now group properly under their own category in the Service Record
  • Fixed an issue where REQ currency would sometimes not recharge properly when joining in progress to Warzone modes
  • Fixed an issue where players who JIP’ed into Warzone games were not leveling up
  • Fixed an issue where JIP’ing players sometimes caused momentary hitches
  • Added a fix for the “black screen” bug (We believe this is addressed, and will be monitoring closely - please let us know if you experience this issue post-patch)
  • Fixed a bug in which banned players could continue to play matches
  • Fixed a bug where Snowzone and Urban home bases did not have player collision
  • Fixed a rare crash players could hit if they died while picking up power-ups
