Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar Problems & Details

DICE’s second Battlefield 1 DLC expansion went through extensive testing but In the Name of the Tsar problems are plaguing Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows users.

Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar is finally live for Premium Pass holders and it delivers new weapons, a new game mode, new vehicles, and new ranks. The DLC arrived alongside a base game update that’s a mandatory download for all Battlefield 1 players, not just those who own the game’s Premium Pass.

The In the Name of the Tsar patch delivers the DLC’s content and bug fixes for lingering problems including an issue with the They Shall Not Pass DLC’s Fort Vaux map. The new DLC and the new base game update are also causing some problems of their own.

The smoke from the release is starting to settle and we’re hearing and seeing complaints about In the Name of the Tsar problems. The current list includes small bugs, download problems, and some performance issues.

With those in mind we want to go over the most important things to know about these Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar problems.

This walkthrough will take you through the early issues impacting the DLC, some potential fixes for those issues, and a few other things to know as we push into September.

In the Name of the Tsar Problems

PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC users are starting to report In the Name of the Tsar problems.

Early issues include slow download speeds, problems launching the DLC, issues connecting to games, FPS drops, crashes, lag, Codexes failing to unlock, glitches, problems with stats, black screens, and freezes and lockups.

The DLC is just a few hours old and we expect the list of In the Name of the Tsar problems to grow as more people download the content. DICE will release In the Name of the Tsar as a standalone expansion on September 19th.

If you hate dealing with bugs and problems, particularly connectivity issues, we recommend waiting a few hours or a day or two for some of these initial hiccups to subside.
