DICE's "Battlefield 1" shook avid gamers' worlds after releasing their latest update last month with its latest features. However, just like any development, it becomes rusty and issues start to rise once everyone gets a hang of it.

Good thing, though: "Battlefield 1" producers and developers are hearing out every gamers' complaints. One of them is DICE's producer Ali Hassoon (under the username Striterax) who just recently confirmed on his twitter account that fixes are coming soon for inevitable issues encountered by gamers in their recent updates.

However, according to Hassoon, some of these SLI fixes need particular drivers to work. Some gamers who are active on twitter did not like this idea, though. Users commenting on the twitter thread says it is "complete mess" for gamers to be required to install specific drivers just for the update. However, some gamers are hopeful that the developers will come up with just a "patch change" and not a "driver change".

In other related news, "Battlefield 1" custom game has just been released in live mode. Scout and Medic  are the only class options for this custom game called "Line of Sight". Gamers can see this right under "Custom Game" tab in "Battlefield 1" menu.

DICE specifically said on their blog post that "the defending team will need to take advantage of the map to find strategic positions to hold their objectives, while the attackers need to take out defending snipers while advancing to secure objectives." To recall, DICE also released a custom game for "Battlefield 1" titled "Fog of War" last November.

Aside from "Line of Sight", DICE is also expected to release "Battlefield 1" Giant Shadow DLC Map, a first for the game. The DLC map is set in the Battle of Selle in France on 1918. Meanwhile, "Battlefield 1" paid expansion is slated to be released in March 2017.
