Battlefield 3 Beta Update Released by DICE

DICE has released the first update to the Battlefield 3 beta, fixing a number of issues. Thanks to user feedback, developers have dealt with issues such as crashes, stability fixes and more. The full list of fixes and tweaks can be found below, curtsey of the Battlefield Blog.

A subtle low health screen effect has been added.

Pushing prone on console will not play the animation twice.
Fixed loss of Squad Leader after EOR at some times.
Framerate stability fixes.
The 3D spotting icons has been tweaked to better match the target’s visibility. Icons will show frequently less on mostly obscured targets.
