EA DICE recently released the patch 1.14 for “Battlefield 1.” The new patch intends to address some of the lag and connectivity issues that players have been having of late. While the developer performed the update and made some in-game modifications, the multiplayer servers of the game were temporarily shut down on all gaming platforms. According to a report from PlayStationLifestyle, the servers were unavailable for one hour. The “Battlefield 1” patch 1.14 requires a free space of 365MB for Windows PC, 585MB for PlayStation 4, and 858MB for Xbox One.
