Battlefield 1 managed to launch largely free of the kinds of glitches and bugs that infested Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 during their respective launches. While there were definitely still issues, the game ran as intended, and the glitches were more along the lines of quirks that players could ignore as they continued to enjoy the game.
Hopefully, this is something DICE will remedy, and soon. A whole lot of people will be playing Battlefield 1 for the first time around now, and things like this would just end up making a bad impression when the game doesn’t deserve one.
