Battlefield 6 has officially pushed a change to a frustrating bug plaguing the newly-released shooter, properly adjusting the jump momentum when using some weapons. The highly-anticipated launch of the new shooter from EA and Battlefield Studios has seen plenty of fans diving in to try out the hot new game in the long-running series. Battlefield 6 serves as the first new entry in the franchise since 2021’s Battlefield 2042 and has already peaked at more than 700,000 players on Steam. However, the launch of the shooter has not been completely free of issues.
While Battlefield 6 has already seen massive early success, the game has seen a few complaints from fans. Battlefield 6‘s helicopter combat has been a point of criticism for many players, with the game’s low out-of-bounds timers causing major headaches for aerial combat. Despite Battlefield 6‘s extensive anti-cheat measures, many players have also found that some cheaters and hackers have still managed to slip through the cracks into online lobbies. Now, Battlefield 6 is addressing one particular bug that has been an issue for some fans.
Battlefield 6 shared the newest bug fix hitting the shooter through the game’s official “Battlefield Comms” social media account. The change will reportedly affect issues related to jump momentum within Battlefield 6, with players sometimes seeing their momentum adversely affected when equipped with certain weapons. The developer confirmed that the change has already gone live across every platform for the game and players can likely expect to see it take effect in their “next fresh match.” The post did not specify which Battlefield 6 weapons were causing the unexpected change in jump momentum.
Battlefield 6 Rolls Out Jump Momentum Fix
EA and Battlefield Studios have continued to look for new ways to improve the game since its announcement, particularly through fan feedback. An interaction with one of Battlefield 6‘s lead producers suggests that EA may soon be adding an option for players to wait longer in queues in order to guarantee matches on specific maps. The developer also teased a potential server browser and fixes for matchmaking to come in the future, making it even easier to find and fill custom matches.
Battlefield 6‘s success has led to questions about whether the game’s servers will be able to sustain the massive influx of fans. Battlefield 6‘s release would see sizable queues of players waiting to get into the shooter, with more than 280,000 in queue for Battlefield 6 at times despite the developer aiming for no queues on launch. The game’s popularity would even cause issues with EA’s app, with prolonged outages affecting the service as more players tried to log in. Battlefield 6‘s early popularity bodes well for the game’s future as EA and Battlefield Studios continue to improve the game.
