The Fall update for Battlefield 1 was released earlier today across all available platforms. The changelog is massive and includes tons of fixes, balancing, and changes to the game. The problem is it also seems to cause some issues for a number of users.Players have reported a drastic increase in texture flickering with this update in addition to a number of crashes. Others that have updated their Nvidia drivers have also reported less performance from previous drivers. Good luck to those updating today! At least Suez isn't complete garbage now?
Changelog for Battlefield 1 for 11152016 update
- Increase attacker maximum tickets from 150 to 250
- Increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders after capturing a sector from 2 to 3.
- Increased the amount of minimum ticket regained when capturing a sector in 64p Operations from 30 to 50.

40 player
- Increase attacker maximum tickets to 200 from 150
- Increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders after capturing a sector from 2 to 3.
- Slightly reduced the time it takes to capture flags.
- Added two additional flags on the Suez map, giving it a total of 5 flags.
- Added 1 armored car for either team to spawn in their HQ.
- Reduced the size of the capture volumes on the flags located in the villages, old A & B flag. This is to reduce the amount of building interiors located within the capture area. The change should result in the flags being easier to capture.

GAMEPLAY:
Weapon Balance
- Light Machine Guns were less attractive than other weapon classes, we have given them various forms of adjustments to make them more viable mid-range weapons.

- Increased aimed accuracy of support machine guns.
- Decreased Lewis first shot recoil multiplier.
- Decreased Huot first shot recoil multiplier.

Gadget Balance

- Increased the inaccuracy penalty for firing multiple mortar rounds quickly.

Frag:
