Data Patch D - Live!

Post » Thu Mar 28, 2013 8:49 pm

Data Patch D is a behind the scenes update and is automatically downloaded when entering Multiplayer. Patch D contains the following tweaks:

  • Console matchmaking algorithm tweaks to try and ensure better location matches of clients
  • DSG1 base fire rate increased
  • Mini Typhoon damage increased to 2 shot kill
  • K-Volt spread reduced and movement spread penalty reduced
  • OGR max recoil reduced
  • SCARAB base damage increased
  • SCAR damage fall off increased
  • Fixed issue where SCAR+Mini Typhoon resulted in Full Auto Mini Typhoon.

If you see something like this at the bottom left of your main multiplayer screen, then you have the patch.

If you can not see it and this post says the patch is live, chances are your copy of the game didn't manage to download and verify it in time. Simply return to the Single Player menu and click back into Multi Player or restart the game, entering MP will usually resolve the issue as it will have been downloaded already but not verified.

If you do not have the patch you will be unable to play against players who do, so you may have less matches available to your (or no official dedicated servers on PC). This is very unlikely to happen and can be resolved by returning to the Single Player menu and back to Multi Player.

Some users have had problems downloading these data patches, usually due to Anti-Virus or Proxy issues, so if you have persistent problems, check this thread out for more information:

It is likely that these patches will not go live at the same time across all platforms so keep checking this thread as to when your platforms patches are live.

Data Patch D Status:

PC: LIVE
X360: LIVE
PS3:LIVE



Previous patch changelists:

Data Patch A
Data Patch B
Patch 1.1
Data Patch C


We have identified an issue in Patch 1.1 where the Dog Tags screen in Player Profile will show you having less dog tags than before the patch, this will affect all platforms when the patch goes live. We have identified the issue and have a fix in place but there will be a period of time before this can be rolled out.

It is important to note that this is a UI issue rather than you actually losing your dogtags, the game still knows what you have/haven't unlocked but is not correctly displaying them.

Also please note that the tap to negate recoil issue will be fixed in a later patch or data patch, it could not be done in time for data patch D.

You at least fix what I asked for! But from such small patches zero sense! I do not see most of the servers using the maximum!

iam2pro, given you clearly haven't had any time to significantly test the changes given it's only been out for ten minutes, and there are no values specified in the areas you are complaining about, I struggle to understand how reached that conclusion

I used the scar for 1 match.Clearly it lacks the punch now.Got outgunned by 2 scrab guys at medium range.

Ok i didn't test the DSG.That was just a blanket statement.And may i ask, are you guys even planning to fix the MP stutter issue?Its really terrible when the match starts.
