Battlefield 1 Patch fixes crashing, controller issues and more

Battlefield 1 has been out for a few days and now there’s a new patch.

There’s a load of fixes in this update including client crash fixes, Xbox One controller issues on the PC and more. All the details are below.

What I want to know is why a PC gamer would be using a bloody Xbox One controller to play this. That’s just mad. There also doesn’t seem to be any notes on performance fixes as yet.
