DICE has released a brand new PC patch, which adds several stability improvements and some gameplay tweaks.

DICE has released the very first Battlefield 4 patch of 2014 for the PC. The patch is a moderate one, mainly dealing with game fixes, and adds a few gameplay tweaks as well.
The new patch, released today on the PC only, adds stability improvements, and fixes some memory leak issues as well. The patch also fixes the sound loop bug that has been plaguing the game since day one.
The gameplay tweaks are quite limited, and only concern the jets in the game. The main cannon has increased damage by 25%, and the stealth and attack jets have been evened out in their handling.
You can find the full Battlefield 4 patch notes below. In addition to the PC patch, DICE has also released the new R18 server patch, which adds some crash fixes and enables live scoreboards on all servers.
