The delayed Battlefield 2042 scoreboard refresh is being deployed today through update 3.3, EA DICE has announced.
A lot has been said and written about the troubled launch of Battlefield 2042. Back in January of this year, EA announced the arrival of the Season 1 update alongside various Quality-of-Life changes and an updated scoreboard. Unfortunately, a few weeks after this announcement, the Battlefield team announced that this Season 1 update won’t be arriving before this summer. In addition, the much-needed scoreboard refresh was also pushed back.
Luckily, this long-overdue scoreboard update is arriving later today via Battlefield 2042 update 3.3. In addition to this updated scoreboard functionality within the game, this new update also includes fixes for various bugs alongside control and keybinding-related changes.
“With the introduction of the updated Scoreboard functionality we’d once again like to express our commitment to listening to your feedback and improving your in-game experience with each update”, the Battlefield 2042 team writes.
Down below you’ll find the official release notes for this update:
Battlefield 2042 Update 3.3 Release Notes
Fixes, Changes, and Improvements
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.
