EA released the first numbered update on September 9, 2026. It fixes the 100%-hit miss, several save and stability faults, missing preorder or Deluxe items, and many tactical defects. See the source-backed Patch 1.1 summary.
Fixed in 1.1: shots missing at 100%
EA’s Patch 1.1 notes say the issue that allowed a shot to miss when its chance to hit was 100% is fixed. This supersedes the earlier EA Forums notice that said the team was investigating the problem.
Quit only after Hawks is under direct control
An EA Community Manager says that quitting while the player is not in direct control of Hawks can, in some cases, prevent the game from finishing its save. EA’s current advice is to wait until Hawks is under direct control after returning to the hub, then wait a few seconds before quitting.
The notice is tagged for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Patch 1.1 separately fixes save corruption caused by sudden or forced shutdown, but it does not explicitly identify this save-completion warning as fixed. EA Help still publishes the wait-for-Hawks guidance.
Acknowledged NVIDIA and Intel PC crashes
EA says it is aware of crashes on PCs using certain NVIDIA GPUs or Intel processors. For crashes while DLSS is enabled with NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 610.88 or older, EA recommends updating to the latest Game Ready Driver.
EA also points to instability affecting some Intel Core 13th- and 14th-generation desktop processors. Its first recommendation is to update the system BIOS and follow the system or motherboard manufacturer’s instructions. If problems continue, EA Help says advanced users can try Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and lower the Performance Core Ratio from 55x to 54x, 53x, or 52x. EA warns that these are advanced changes and advises contacting a professional or the device manufacturer if unsure. Patch 1.1 fixes various crashes and updates the suggested NVIDIA and AMD driver baseline, but does not say that every crash covered by these earlier notices is resolved.
GTX 10-series and RTX 20-series performance
For supported NVIDIA GTX 10-series and RTX 20-series cards that meet the minimum specification, EA says complex environmental detail can add rendering overhead. Its published workaround is to open Options → Graphics and set Environment Geometry Detail to Off, which may stabilize or improve frame rates.
General troubleshooting is not a known-issues list
EA Help separately recommends checking for game and platform updates, verifying or repairing PC game files, updating graphics drivers, clearing platform caches, and checking EA or platform service status. These are broad diagnostic steps; they do not confirm that every crash, freeze, black screen, or missing-content report is a recognized game defect.
Player-created forum threads are useful discovery leads, but this page includes an issue only when an EA staff account explicitly acknowledges it or publishes the workaround. It does not convert unconfirmed reports into a bug list.
