As promised, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of Battlefield 4 received an update aimed at fixing the "general stability" of the game on both platforms. Both patches are largely the same, but there are a few subtle differences which can be viewed in the notes below.
- Various fixes for improving general stability
- Fixed flickering in map and minimap on Rouge Transmission and Operation Locker
- Fixed issue with player spawning under the map in Lancang Dam
- Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons
- Normalized repair rates across all vehicles. Vehicles with lower health points, like aircraft and transport vehicles, now repair more slowly than before
- Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver’s camera
- Fix for friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members
- Fixed problem with killer health in kill card not being correctly updated (showing 100% health even though the soldier was hurt)
- EU Players: Fixed bug where game wouldn’t start when when the console was running in any of these languages: Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Czech, Brazilian Portuguese
- Fix for bug where it looked like soldier was dying with 1 health instead of 0
- Fixed a player feedback timing issue where blood was appearing before other damage indicators, and before damage was actually done

- Fixed a bug where the M1 Abrams Coaxial HMG ammo box was occasionally blocking the driver’s camera
- Increased damage by 25% for the Stealth Jet 20mm cannons
- Stealth Jets now have more similar handling attributes to eachother. F35 & J-20 are slightly more agile, Su-50 is less agile
- Attack Jets now have more similar handling attributes to each other, and all 3 are now slightly less agile than earlier
- Fixed camera glitch when switching weapons while moving in crouch
- Fixed an occasional bug where players could experience intermittent engine sound dropouts when driving wheeled IFVs

- Fix for first and third person soldier animations being out of sync while doing transition changes. This could potentially make the player get hit while in cover behind a wall or other obstacle
Yesterday, DICE rolled out the PC patch which also contained general stability improvements, including a fix for a memory leak that would cause the game to crash.
