Battlefield 1 PC and PS4 Pro Graphics Reportedly Downgraded, Being Looked Into

It seems like some weird things are afoot with DICE’s Battlefield 1, where, after the newest patch for the game, players are experiencing a downgrade in the game’s graphics. Users on the Battlefield forum apparently noticed differences and degradation in the game’s visual quality on PC once the newest patch hit, noting a lack of tessellation, missing foliage, anisotropic filtering/textures, and just degraded texture quality, among other things.

The issues seem to not be restricted to the PC version, either- it seems like PlayStation fans are also experiencing downgrades in the game’s graphical quality, with the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions of the game both suffering a decline in the visuals post the new patch.

Thankfully, it seems like DICE will at least be looking into this- posting on Twitter, DICE’s Nils Hallberg said that the issues were unintended, and that DICE are investigating why people are experiencing a decline in graphical quality. So hopefully, these will be resolved soon enough. In the meantime? Battlefield 1 is still as fun now as it was before, so get back to playing.

It hasn't. We are investigating why some people experience a degrade on PS4, PS4 pro and PC.
