New Battlefield 6 Update is Causing Major Problems

by

A recent update to Battlefield 6, released on December 9th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, is causing performance problems for many players. After installing patch 1.1.3.0, a lot of players are reporting noticeable stuttering. While this update was intended as the final content addition for Season 1 – including new content, fixes, and improvements – it seems to have introduced new issues despite resolving some existing ones.

I was so excited when DICE released the Winter Offensive update for Battlefield 6 on December 9th! It’s a free update packed with tons of improvements, bug fixes, and new stuff to try out. The coolest addition, for me, is the winter version of the Empire State map – it looks amazing with all the frozen details. They also added a new melee weapon, the Ice Climbing Axe, which you can unlock by playing through the Winter Offensive Bonus Path. Plus, there’s a limited-time multiplayer mode that’s super fun. You can play it on the Ice Lock version of Empire State in Domination, Conquest, or Gauntlet, and there’s even a unique ‘Freeze’ mechanic to mess around with!

Battlefield 6 Has a Serious Stuttering Problem

Even with recent improvements, a new update to Battlefield 6 seems to be causing problems for some players. Many are reporting noticeable stuttering after installing patch 1.1.3.0 on December 9th, sharing their experiences on platforms like Reddit and Twitter. For example, a dedicated player and content creator named TriggerBF, who has logged 400 hours in the game without any performance issues, is now experiencing frequent frame rate drops every 5-20 seconds. The good news is that Florian, a lead designer at DICE, has acknowledged the issue and says the team is looking into it.

Players are reporting another issue following today’s Battlefield 6 update. A Reddit user, Due-Dingo-4051, shared a clip demonstrating a strange bug in the Firing Range where shots seem to register as hits even when clearly missing the targets. This is particularly odd because DICE stated that the update was specifically designed to improve hit registration, making it more consistent in various situations like quick aiming, firing while zooming, and close-range combat. The studio aimed to make impacts clearer and damage more predictable, but this new issue suggests otherwise.

Update 1.1.3.0 didn’t just fix that one big issue, though! DICE really went through everything. They made it way easier to see enemies up close, tweaked how weapons feel so they’re more accurate, and made a bunch of gadgets more reliable. Plus, vehicles are clearer and easier to use now, they’ve updated the Breakthrough and Rush modes on a few maps, and the audio is much better, which makes it way easier to figure out what’s going on in a firefight. It’s a solid update overall!

DICE is aware of the stuttering problem caused by today’s update and is working on a quick fix. However, patch 1.1.3.0 was the last big update for Season 1, so players will probably have to wait for the next season to get new maps, game modes, weapons, and other content.

While the studio hasn’t officially announced details about Battlefield 6 Season 2, current rumors point to a January 2026 release. Leaks suggest the update could bring back popular weapons and vehicles like the MG5 light machine gun, CZ Bren 2 assault rifle, and the AH-6 Little Bird helicopter, among other additions.
