Highguard rolled out a patch on the 30th, finally introducing that long-awaited field of view (FoV) slider for console players alongside a slew of other welcome refinements. This update is laser-focused on handing back some agency to the player through new settings and, more importantly, a significant bump in overall stability.

For starters, you can now toggle that crouch action on all platforms, whether you prefer to hold or switch. As for aiming down sights, PC players get the luxury of choice right now, while console users are left waiting for a future update to add the same flexibility. Console folks do get a win, though, with the FoV slider now stretching up to 110.

The team has tweaked low settings for shadows and reflections—you'll lose a bit of visual fidelity, but you gain some much-needed performance. Specifically, the low shadow preset now disables volumetric fog. They’ve also introduced a 'View Distance Quality' setting to manage skeletal mesh LOD, giving you a bit more control over your GPU and CPU overhead. Fancy turning off anisotropic filtering, chromatic aberration, or bloom? You can now toggle those independently, regardless of your other quality presets.

If you're rocking DLSS, you can now tinker with your presets, and there’s even an option to kill global illumination entirely if you're desperate for frames. They’ve also squashed that annoying engine bug that was locking laptop users to 60 FPS regardless of their settings. On the downside, some of the new menu options haven't been localised into languages other than English yet. The developers promise a fix for this in the next patch.

Stability is the real winner here, with the patch addressing several crashing issues. This includes those frustrating moments on PS5 where the game would dump you from a match, or the hangs during loading on slower storage devices. They’ve also ironed out various bugs tied to online status and matchmaking; friend requests now actually show your pals as online, and Xbox status updates are finally behaving. The team claims major crashes have been slashed by 90%, marking a massive improvement in stability.
