Hi all,
We will release an update to the PC version of BF3 on Dec 6th — that is, Tuesday morning around 8AM GMT next week. This coincides with an upgrade of many of our central systems which will be down for some hours starting around that time.
It will be both a client update — approximately 2GB in size — and a server update.
The client/server combination will be incompatible with older clients/servers. All players will be prompted to download the update once it has been released. All RSP companies will begin upgrading their servers at the same time.
The client update is large because it contains most of the content for Back to Karkand. This is not ideal, so we aim to make potential DLC content in the future as optional downloads.
Bugfixes:
Fixed a problem with spawn timer now showing blue border on startup and lost spawn point
