A bunch of known issues have been fixed in the latest Battlefield 1 patch, replacing missing dog tags, solving connection problems and fixing crashes. You’ll probably still fly your plane straight into the dirt, though. Sorry.

As well as the issues mentioned above, the update should solve a button prompt problem with Xbox One controllers, clean up some graphical issues, and stop the game crashing upon exit for some players.
