Visceral Games, who are developers for Battlefield Hardline are working on a new patch that will address the concerns of players on the game being "buggy."
Though in comparison to Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline fares better in terms of being a buggy game, notes Gameranx.
In order to deal with such issues, the developer has announced how a new patch is in testing that will eventually address issues in bugs, deathmatch and more. The patch waits for certification.
Battlefield Hardline tears away from the normal breed of Battlefield franchise and focuses on crime and heists with a cops vs criminals storyline. The game includes different modes like Heist, Rescue, Hotwire Mode, Blood Money and Crosshair Mode. The game will also be using the Levolution mechanics that was seen in Battlefield 4.
There will be a whole range of different military-grade weapons and vehicles – Lenco BearCat, tasers, handcuffs and more.
This game uses Frostbite 3 engine and was rolled out on 17 March 2015 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
