This week's PC update includes:
Support for Intel's new Ivy Bridge product line (as yet unreleased).
Fixes for two reproducible client crashes.
Oilfields- Conquest Large - Fixed a client crash when users spawn in certain vehicles.
Canals - Rush - Fixed a client crash at the 2nd set of mcoms if the player drives a vehicle into the vicinity of the exploding rocket battery.
AMD Radeon 7xxx series performance improvements.
Battlefield 3 was released for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 in October. The game sold almost two million copies in its first month in the US alone.
Electronic Arts recently announced that the game had sold more than 10 million copies.
An iOS spinoff, titled Battlefield 3: Aftershock, was released on the App Store last week.
