Battlefield 2042 update 3.3 patch notes: Scoreboard added & more bug fixes

Info

It’s been a while since the last major Battlefield 2042 update, but the 3.3 patch notes have been dropped by EA, with the standout feature being the addition of the long-awaited scoreboard.

Between the highly publicized petition and countless reports of refunds, the perception of Battlefield 2042 hasn’t been wholly positive. A few months on from its release, very little has changed in terms of attitudes towards the game.

EA have already tried making amends with the Battlefield 2042 3.1 and 3.2 updates. Now, the 3.3 update is here to try and further iron out bugs, glitches, and a variety of other lingering issues in the game.

Battlefield 2042 update 3.3 release date & time

Battlefield 2042’s 3.3 update will be available on March 8, 2022, and players can expect to install this from 09:00 UTC.

The whole of the 3.3 update is expected to be included on launch as EA tries to improve Battlefield 2042.

A scoreboard has been top of the wishlist for ages.

Battlefield 2042 features: Scoreboard & fixes

The main feature for Battlefield 2042 players to be excited about is the inclusion of a live, accessible scoreboard. Seen as a strange omission at the game’s launch, it’s been frustrating for players who have been unable to properly track the ongoing stats in a game.

But that is now a thing of the past, and so should be the case for a few other bugs too.

Included in the patch notes are details about general fixes for the game’s UI, gameplay, and other improvements. Not only that, but players that paid for certain Battlefield 2042 bundles will also be getting some of the promised content.

The new content will be a welcome addition to buyers of certain BF 2042 bundles.

Scoreboard

Back in January we revealed our plans for a Scoreboard UI refresh based on community input. Through your feedback, it was clear that more work and time was required to ensure that the first iteration of the refreshed Scoreboard lined up with your expectations. We’ve since collected and listened to your feedback and are now ready to deploy this refresh alongside this update.

Match Overview has been improved and placed on the left of the screen; this still retains information about the match, objective progression and ticket counters as well as personal stats such as Kills, Assists and Deaths, alongside your current in-game ping.

The Scoreboard now features a team vs team split look for certain team-based modes such as Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush and Team Deathmatch, alongside the inclusion of the deaths stat to the Scoreboard.

While these changes were two of your most-requested missing pieces, this is the first version of the Scoreboard, and further improvements will be made to this in subsequent updates, based upon your continued feedback such as the Scoreboard being available during the End of Round screens.
