Battlefield 5 March 5th update details
DICE has detailed the new update that will come out for Battlefield 5 likely today. According to the release notes, the March 5th patch will address the flickering issue on squad deployment, makes improvements to shotguns, and fixes the end of round Company Coin counter.
This new update also packs multiple crash fixes and stability improvements, and fixes the controller vibration function that wouldn’t properly work on some maps while playing Grand Operation.
Battlefield 5 March 5 Patch Release Notes
Vehicles
- Fixed the inconsistency between the length of the visual effect of the Churchill Crocodile tank’s flamethrower when viewing it in third person versus first person.
Weapons, Gadgets, and Specializations
- Fixed the M1907 SF Recoil Buffer Specialization which was previously not working.
- The ZK-383 and Selbstlader 1916 no longer have the wrong zoom level with some sights when using the Fast ADS movement Specialization.
- Tweaked shotgun balance. We found that shotguns were underperforming compared to close-range SMGs. The changes to damage drop-off and pellet damage listed below make shotguns perform more consistently in close quarters and give them a slightly longer optimal range.
– Increased damage drop-off start distance for buckshot and slug ammo by 1 m.
– 12g Automatic and M1897: Increased buckshot maximum pellet damage from 5 to 7.2.
– M30 Drilling: Increased buckshot maximum pellet damage from 5 to 6.3.
Maps and Modes
- Practice Range: Fixed a bug where players would get stuck when using the “Redeploy” or “Restart Practice Range” function.
- Combined Arms: On Hot Pursuit, the correct number of soldiers needed to advance the objective are now spawned.
- War Stories: Players should no longer run into a freeze on The Last Tiger during the section Reach German Forward Base.
- Fix the controller vibration function that wouldn’t properly work on some maps while playing Grand Operations.
UI/HUD/Options/Assignments
- Fixed the flickering issue that could happen on the squad redeploy screen. All subtitles in the Combined Arms intro are now triggering correctly.
- Leveling from level 49 to level 50 now properly shows the correct level on the End of Round screen.
- Further fixes for the End of Round Company Coin counter. This should hopefully show the correct value for all players.
Stability
- Multiple crash fixes and stability improvements.
PC-Specific Improvements
- Fix a crash that could happen when players changed the resolution multiple times in a row while DLSS is enabled.
- DLSS has been disabled when using DX11 due to stability issues.

I hope that I will be finally able to launch the game at all. It is always crashing during the first loading screen. I tried to install older video drivers, tried to repair the game in Origin or turn off MSI Afterburner + RTSS and the game still just turns off without reporting any error... I have RTX 2080 Ti and i7-5820k.

A patch to actually make the game playable on anything less than a 6 core CPU would be nice...

Wait, let me get this straight, so they buffed shotguns? roflmao! I'm a mediocre FPS player most of the time, and even I had some insane streaks on Domination in close-quarter maps like Arras with shotguns. Guess they'll be even more of a faceroll now...

That's not a bug, but they probably bought enough lootboxes
