If you&#8217;ve struggled with cross-play on Xbox or found Breakthrough&#8217;s nastier rooftop objectives to be impossible to capture, you&#8217;ll want to peek at the 3.1 patch notes for <em>Battlefield 2042<\/em>.<\/p> <p>To quickly bounce off those two highlights, while it was easy enough to enable or disable cross-play in the PlayStation versions of <em>Battlefield 2042<\/em> with a simple in-game Options toggle, for whatever reason, Xbox players have been forced to go out of their way to not be matched up against PC players, which has led to this bad ripple effect. With the update, it&#8217;ll be consistent across the board, so <strong>Xbox players can easily turn off cross-play<\/strong>.<\/p> <p>As for <strong>rooftop capture points<\/strong> in <em>Battlefield 2042<\/em>&#8216;s Breakthrough mode, Orbital&#8217;s hard-to-safely-reach rooftop point, in particular, can be a grueling nightmare for attackers to take. While it seems like a heavy-handed approach, the developers have opted to just remove that slaughterhouse point \u2014 and other, similar points on the Hourglass and Kaleidoscope maps \u2014 in update 3.1. In their place, there will be objectives to capture at the bottom.<\/p> <p>Here&#8217;s a funny demonstration of the pre-patch Breakthrough experience:<\/p> <p><\/iframe><\/p> <p>There are a few changes that should impact the overall flow of matches and lower spam: <strong>frag and incendiary grenades<\/strong>, as well as the prox sensor, have a lowered ammo count (from two down to just one), and the <strong>prox sensor<\/strong> has been nerfed with a reduced player-spotting radius and uptime. Aim assist on consoles has also gotten &#8220;improvements.&#8221;<\/p> <p>I&#8217;m personally glad to see that the &#8220;<strong>missing loadout<\/strong>&#8221; bug \u2014 the one that stops you from changing weapons \u2014 has gotten a fix. And update 3.1 also has balance changes for <strong>bullet dispersion<\/strong>, <strong>recoil<\/strong>, and <strong>ground vehicle cannons vs. infantry<\/strong>. &#8220;Improvements&#8221; were made to bullet hit registration, but this seems like one of those <a href=\"https:\/\/answers.ea.com\/t5\/Updates\/Battlefield-2042-Known-Issues\/td-p\/10944776\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hard-to-nail-down issues<\/a>.<\/p> <p>And with that, I&#8217;m pretty pleased \u2014 these back-to-back updates <a href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/battlefield-2042-update-3-ui-hud-changes-will-go-a-long-way-for-teamwork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have done a lot<\/a>. <em>Battlefield 2042<\/em> shouldn&#8217;t have even been in this mess, and it&#8217;s frustrating to relive these sorts of launches again and again, but at least the teams hit the ground running.<\/p> <h3>Battlefield 2042 update 3.1 patch notes<\/h3> <h4>Fixes, Changes, and Improvements<\/h4> <h5>General<\/h5> <ul> <li>Players that are not the Party Leader can now cancel while waiting in a queue<\/li> <li>Xbox &#8211; Cross-Play can now be enabled\/disabled in the Options menu on Xbox<\/li> <li>Your Sort settings will now be correctly remembered when refreshing the Battlefield: Portal Server Browser<\/li> <li>Fixed an issue where loadouts would sometimes be empty on the spawn screen after joining a server, preventing weapon selection<\/li> <li>Made improvements to ensure Aim Assist is more consistent during console gameplay<\/li> <li>Ranger\u2019s effective combat range and overall health has been decreased<\/li> <\/ul> <h5>Audio<\/h5> <ul> <li>Made various tweaks to the overall audio experience to improve clarity, distance, and directional perception<\/li> <li>Fixed an issue where soldiers would not always play indoor specific footsteps<\/li> <\/ul> <h5>Weapons<b><br \/> <\/b><\/h5> <ul> <li>Removed bounce from Underbarrel Grenades when firing at short distances<\/li> <li>40mm AP Grenades now properly damage vehicles<\/li> <li>Fixed some weapons displaying wrong ammo counts for specific magazines<\/li> <li>DXR-1 and NTW-50 Bolt Action rifles reload animation increased by 0.2 seconds<\/li> <li>Adjusted dispersion values for most weapons, which results in a faster dispersion decrease when tap firing or doing short bursts<\/li> <li>Adjusted dispersion increases for most weapons.
