May Update Battlefield 1

Well I Currently Dislike The New Update. Just Came Out Today. My Home Screen For Battlefield 1 Is Black. Even After Resetting My Xbox And Game It Is Still Black Screen. The Conquest Update Sucks Because Of Less Points Meaning People Who Actually PTFO Will Not Be Rewarded As We Should. This Whole Update Sucks IMO

  • Hey... { @KILLING1177 }

    Reset your XboxOne to factory settings while keeping your game data and it should start working. You'll have to set some stuff up again on the XboxOne but it worked for me and others.

    I hope will work!!!

  • On Conquest capture, let me give a bit of insight on the reasoning behind it: Part of Conquest Capture score was moved to 'ticks' you get during capture to encourage people to leave the flag that can be safely captured in order to attack the next objective.

    The thing is, until now many maps suffered from 'flag trains', where entire team went to one flag, stood on it until capture and then moved to the other one in a huge train was common. Both teams passed by each other with little to no combat and practically just kept on flagrunning. This is one of changes discouraging from that approach.

    On other two CQ scoring changes - Conquest Control is supposed to 1) Slightly offset the decrease of CQ capture score and 2) Encourage defending flags. Decreasing the percentage of contribution to flag capture/neutralize from 50% to 30% means that now to get the Conquest Capture, you only need to be on the flag during last 30% of capture process, not 50% (like pre-patch). Once again, it's supposed to encourage more active approach instead of being rooted to the flag as attacker.

    If you dislike the update, I recommend describing the exact reasons in feedback thread at forums.battlefield.com.

    I had similar issues after the update, end of round screen had black/ no background, none of the player profie pics were showing just a box were it should be, I couldn't even see what I got when I opened a battlepack, however I found this fix for Xbox (may be similar on ps4) quit the game, go to xbox  home screen, hover over game icon, press the right MENU button and move down to "manage game" move down the left list to saved data, move right and down to "reserved space" and press A, select "clear reserved space" and press A again, then go back and lauch the game again, you will find this will clear all your black screen issues.

    Do you have the same problem as me? I can't even join a match. I've reinstalled the game several times and cleared reserved data but when I go on the home screen, the loading wheel appears for a few seconds and then just crashes and never loads?  Such *, I can't believe they've managed to break a game in an update.

    Hey @KILLING1177,

    there just was a UI update - can you launch the game and, if prompted, launch it again to see if the issue reoccurs?

    Black screen issue should be fixed, among others. More information can be found here.
