When DICE shipped the Season 1 update for Battlefield 6 on October 28, the patch notes read like a kitchen-sink sweep of fixes. Players who installed the update and still saw problems had every right to be annoyed – and now there’s confirmation about why.
DICE Principal Game Designer Florian Le Bihan said on X that not every bug listed in the Season 1 notes was included in the update players downloaded on October 28, writing, “The bug fixes are not in this update, might not have been clear from some of the previous comms but they are coming into a later update during Season 1.” That means some issues noted in the patch list will arrive in follow-up patches during the season rather than all at once.
Here is the original post from Florian on X:
The bug fixes are not in this update, might not have been clear from some of the previous comms but they are coming into a later update during Season 1.

Players complained after the October 28 update that specific fixes mentioned in the notes, such as ADS penalties and the sprinting bloom interaction, still behaved the same in live matches. The X post was in response to a content creator calling out one of those persistence problems. The key takeaway is simple: if a fix was in the Season 1 notes but you still encounter the bug, it may still be on the studio’s to-do list for a later patch.
One issue many players still see is the “trampoline” bug, where mantling certain objects provides abnormal vertical lift, effectively revealing your position and making you an easy target. DICE hasn’t given a firm date for the follow-up fixes, but the Season 1 roadmap does include a mid-season update on November 18 that adds a new map, a new mode, and the return of Battle Pickups, so additional bug fixes could arrive around that window.
We previously ran the whole Battlefield 6 Season 1 patch notes, which listed the fixes players expected in the October 28 update. The studio’s staggered delivery means players should treat that list as a season-long roadmap of improvements rather than a single, completed job.
There have been other small drama moments this month, including the silent removal of a neon blue infantry skin after player backlash, which underlines how reactive the rollout has been so far. Questions about timing and priority are fair. Communication could have been clearer, which would have saved a lot of head-scratching and angry posts. For now, watch for the mid-season window and subsequent hotfixes to close the gaps between the notes and the live game.
