Update 1.7.1: Hotfix 1

[h2]We've released a hotfix for update 1.7.1 that addresses the following issues:[/h2]
  • Updated global lighting settings to more closely match lighting prior to update 1.7.1’s engine upgrade to 4.25
  • Reduced instances of AI shooting a player after they ducked behind cover instead of suppressing the player’s last known visible position
  • Fixed an issue that was causing reflective surfaces (windows, glasses, etc.) inside of smoke to be visible to players outside of the smoke
  • Fixed an issue causing players to fall through the floor of the elevator in Ministry even though it was hilarious
  • Fixed an issue with gear (armor, ammo vests, etc.) on corpses disappearing early
  • Fixed an issue where magazines being thrown from speed reloads would disappear immediately
  • Fixed an issue where magazines would only appear half way through a staged reload animation
  • Fixed the previous and next hint buttons not responding on the in-game menu
  • Fixed an issue where flashlight flare wasn’t showing correctly in night vision

[h3]Editor Fixes:[/h3]
  • Fixed issue where renaming folders would also copy all items you had previously selected to that folder
  • Fixed issue so changing streaming type for level will preserve level's subfolder when re-adding the sublevel


[h3]Known Issues:[/h3]
  • Some players are experiencing stuttering and performance issues; we are collecting community feedback on the issue here to solve it faster
  • Fire support sounds will sometimes play out of order or not at all
  • Voice over lines for fire support kills are not triggering properly
  • Fire support kills aren’t being added to the Commander and Observer’s score
  • Backwards compatibility of mods has been broken and mods need to be recooked
  • In-game hints may show a gap between the text and relevant hotkey under certain circumstances
  • Setting a community server as a favorite does not save
  • The Welrod may clip with the camera in restricted areas
  • The third person vaulting animation may show the players leg clipping with the world
  • Night Maps Replays are played back with the incorrect lighting scenario
  • Not able to scavenge skinned weapon magazines from the Honey Badger and Mk14 EBR
  • Mines are not triggered by vehicles driving over them


EDIT: For the stuttering issue, please add '-NoGlobalInvalidation' as a launch parameter, this seems to help a lot of players. We are continuing on working on a permanent fix.

If you aren't sure how to do that, this link should help.
