DICE announced today that it has begun rolling out a new update for the PlayStation 4 version of Battlefield 4 that promises to fix crashes, improve general stability, and tweak weapon characteristics for the multiplayer game.

　　Specifically, the update will lower the rate of fire for the SRS bolt action and also reduce the muzzle velocity for the MP7 and the MTAR21. This latest Battlefield 4 patch also includes Spectator Mode improvements, among a long, long list of other fixes and tweaks. The pull March 4 PS4 patch notes are below.

　　As the update is spread across servers, you may experience some downtime, DICE said, and it will take a few hours in all for most of the servers to update. Today's update adds to the numerous others that DICE has released since launch for the game. More issues continue to beset the game, as DICE's Top Issues Tracker counts a handful of lingering problems.

　　DICE also recently addressed the "netcode issues" that are currently disrupting Battlefield 4.
