DICE has released update 3.2 for Battlefield 2042, a smaller patch focussing on bug fixes and game stability. In particular they’re addressing hit registration on Sundance, getting stuck on destroyed scenery and rubber-banding. They have also raised the limit on XP you can earn per minute in Battlefield Portal, while promising that more servers and modes will allow you to earn XP in the popular throwback mode. Looking to the future, Update 3.3 is expected to release in mid-late February and will bring a refreshed Scoreboard – this will be iterated upon once it’s public. While there’s no timeline on their addition, matchmaking preferences for All Out Warfare and cross-platform VOIP are still on DICE’s radar and they specifically mention it in their communications. All told, DICE are taking small steps forward for their modern era multiplayer shooter, when the game arguably needs more significant changes and a faster update pace to address the bugs and problems it has. Here’s the Update 3.2 patch notes: Update 3.2 Fixes, Changes, and Improvements General Fixed an issue where leaving a party during matchmaking could make the game unresponsive Fixed an issue where connecting to EA servers after signing up with a new account would not work on the first attempt Updated behavior of the quit button during gameplay so it now returns you to the correct screen Fixed an issue where the loading music would stop playing during level load Soldier Fixed a rare occurrence where after landing with the Wingsuit, hits wouldn’t always register on some parts of Sundance’s hitbox Fixed occurrences of rubberbanding when running behind friendly players Fixed a rare issue that could cause you to be stuck in both an alive, and downed loop Fixed a variety of issues with attaching to ladders that could cause you to get stuck in a state where you could fly away or lose control of your Specialist Fixed an issue where soldier movement speed was impaired by nearby explosions that spawned craters Fixed an issue where camera shake and audio for landing would unintentionally trigger when dropping from very small heights Fixed an issue where weapons from a Loadout Crate would sometimes inherit ammo from the previously selected weapon Fixed an issue where being spotted when firing a weapon would spot you for too long Stability Added multiple fixes to improve overall game stability Fixed a rendering related crash that could occur for AMD Radeon VII users while Sundance was visible on screen Weapons Sniper and SOFLAM scope glints now show from a further distance Vehicles Fixed an issue where passenger weapons would no longer be in sync whenever the driver’s turret would rotate, causing bullets to not register when firing at enemies M1A5, T28 – improved the effective range and reduced spread on Canister Weapon Pod Reduced Bullet Spread from 1.6 -> 1.1 Increased Damage Fall Off Distance from 35 -> 40 Battlefield Hazard Zone Fixed a black rectangle being present on screen during Hazard Zone end of round when hitting quit at the level progress screen Battlefield Portal The Server Info tab now persists after hitting Refresh in the Portal Server Browser Fixed an issue where text would overlap when joining a Team Deathmatch game during the end of round sequence Rules Editor – the “IsInventorySlotActive” value now correctly handles melee weapons Certain admin commands can no longer be spammed Further reading: Battlefield 2042 guide – 10 tips to get you started Battlefield 2042 is out now for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game touts 128-player battles on the more powerful systems, with PS4 and Xbox One limited to the series’ long-standing 64-player limit. That’s in addition to the new Hazard Zone mode that blends together a variety of inspirations for a new squad-based experience, and Battlefield Portal, which revives classic maps and gameplay from past games. In our Battlefield 2042 review we scored it a fair 6 out of 10, knocking points off for clunky design features, yet praising parts of the core tactical gameplay and the genius Battlefield Portal: “There’s a good game to be found within the Battlefield 2042 and fun to be had as the spectacle of Battlefield’s signature gameplay is taken to new, more expansive heights, but it’s marred by a handful of unsuccessful gameplay design changes, hurriedly implemented features and bugs at launch.” Source: Battlefield, Twitter
Stardock Software's Start11 utility is shipping today as a 1.0 release, and if you hate the reductionist new design of the Windows 11 Start menu and taskbar, you'll want to check it out. Start11, among other handy tricks, lets you move the taskbar around your desktop and configure the Start menu to emulate Windows 10's look and feel.
Update: On Jan. 13, Stardock shipped Start11 1.1, whose most significant addition is the inclusion of folders, something that Windows 11's own Start menu lacks. You can also add “fences” to the Start menu, Stardock says, with support for its Fences app.We haven't tested these new features.
Start11, priced at $4.99 as a standalone utility, doesn't offer everything: it can't create any dynamic Windows 10 Live Tiles, for example, and your ability to move and resize the Windows 11's taskbar icons is still somewhat limited. But if you'd like a more gentle transition between Windows 10 and Windows 11, Start11 certainly helps.
Start11 is the latest iteration of the “StartX” utilities from Stardock, which shipped similar Start8 and Start10 utilities as throwback UIs to earlier versions of the Windows operating system after Windows 8 and Windows 10 launched, respectively. Start11 simply installs over the top of Windows 11, presenting a more familiar way to interact with the operating system. The program itself consists of a straightforward settings menu, where you can tweak things as you'd like. After that, Start11 makes Windows 11 look as you please and then simply gets out of the way.
As our Windows 11 review highlighted, Windows 11 doesn't let you to resize the taskbar or move it around your screen. Start11 does, though not with the full flexibility of Windows 10. Start11 allows you to move the taskbar to the top or bottom of the screen — not the sides — and resize the icons. (Doing so within the Start11 Settings menu requires you to click a button to manually restart the Windows Explorer process manually.)
You can tweak the location of the taskbar on each individual display, and resizing the icons certainly helps to maximize usable screen space on both tablet-sized and 4K displays. It's a big improvement over the default Windows 11 experience. But Stardock has yet to fix a key annoyance of Windows 11 — the Windows system clock still only appears on a single display. Start11 also doesn't yet allow you to resize the taskbar, nor drag and drop files on a taskbar icon to launch the application, though those limitations no doubt come from Microsoft more than Stardock.

Nevertheless, it's a solid start, even if it's not all that you might hope for quite yet. If it was, Stardock may have named it Taskbar11 instead.
Supercharging the Start menu with Start11
Windows 11's Start menu is one of the more controversial aspects of Microsoft's new operating system, but Start11 allows a number of tweaks to make it more familiar. You can use the Windows 11 Start menu if you'd like — but opt to let Start11 allow you to resize it or open it in a full-screen mode, which Windows 11 doesn't yet do. Handy!

However, Start11 also lets you open Start as a Windows 7-like interface, or use the more tiled
approach of Windows 10. In the latter environment, you can move and group icons, resize them, and generally make Start look like Windows 10, but without the animated “Live Tiles” that Windows 10 supported. Stardock also has its own “modern” style, which shrinks down the Start menu into an ultracompact layout, and points to your most recently-used files on an app-by-app basis, rather than the OS at large.

Start11 also provides some additional options for managing search, as well as some additional tweaks to launch Windows 11's own Start menu versus Start11's own. Still, if the operating systems's native look and feel caused you to hold off on upgrading to Windows 11, Start11 indeed eases the transition.
