Frequent players of https://www.trueachievements.com/TCs-Ghost-Recon-Future....htm may have noticed an update available to download within the past few days. Whether you’re one of these regular players, or may have shelved the game for awhile for whatever reason, these patch notes may be of interest to you.

Naturally, the online multiplayer was a major focus of this title update. Players may notice some slight changes to their gameplay, and hopefully a more streamlined experience pertaining to party connection, bugs, user interface, and more.

Changes, except where explicitly stated, are for both platforms.

General:
- Fixed several issues which would cause the game to stop responding.
- Fixed an issue with Rich Presence not always displaying correctly for players on DLC maps.
- Fixed several localization issues.

- Players are no longer required to have or consume respect tokens to reset their gear.

--- Players who fail the update 3 times will receive a warning popup/alert.

- Bonuses are now awarded to both teams for the completion rounds and matches.

- Players will be able to switch teams in Private/LAN matches up to a maximum of 8 players on a team.
--- The limit per match is still 12 players.
---This change facilitates faction switching and allows for asymmetrical play.

--- Players in parties of 6 should no longer be split within the lobby.
--- Note: It is still possible for parties to be split when joining a match in progress.

Cooperative:
