Battlefield 1 Update Released; Check Out the Patch Notes

Following a brief period of maintenance overnight, Battlefield 1 is back online today with a new update.

As detailed in the patch notes, this update deals primarily with bug fixes--you won't find any new features or improvements to its shoddy menus. Both single-player and multiplayer issues have been resolved, as have various glitches and crashes.

There is one fix in particular that you'll want to be aware of before jumping back in to play: an error that caused incorrect class ranks to display has been fixed. This means you could potentially find yourself at a lower class rank than when you played before the update. If that's the case, you haven't actually lost any rank--what you see now is what you should have been previously. Regardless, if you unlocked anything while mistakenly shown a higher rank, you won't lose access to it as a result of this adjustment.

One thing that seemingly has not been addressed is an incredible bug that turns a crashing zeppelin into a giant fire tornado.

You can find the complete patch notes at the bottom of this post. The bulk of them apply to all platforms, but there are some platform-specific changes, particularly for those playing on PC.
