DICE and EA have released the third monthly update for Battlefield 1, called the Prise de Tahure Update, which is also the second additional map release for They Shall Not Pass.

Prise de Tahure itself is the second night map and the last to be included in They Shall Not Pass, seeing French raiders and German troops clash in the villages of Champagne-Ardennes. This will be avaiilable to Premium Pass owners as well as owners of the expansion pass.

The update also includes Premium Trials, timed events allowing non-Battlefield 1 Premium Pass owners to experience maps of expansion packs before they buy, which is the same feature as Premium Friends except without the need to party with a Premium Pass owner.

Full patch notes for other tweaks and changes can be found down below. Is Prise de Tahure sounding like a promising map?

Battlefield 1

Maps and modes

Soissons: Adjusted Flag D capture area in Frontlines to improve map balance.
Nivelle Nights: Fixed a bug where the Out of Bounds grayscale screen-effect would sometimes fail to enable.
Nivelle Nights: Fixed an issue where field kits in sector five in a Rush game could be used before the sector was active.
Fort de Vaux: Players should no longer be able to get on top of the fort around the courtyard area.

Other fixes

Updated the Map Voting system to exclude the previous map (as well as the current map) from the random selection pool to prevent the possible A-B-A-B map play pattern.
Game will now cancel matchmaking whenever backing out of the Operations globe screen. This to prevent a lingering blur state of the globe.
Synchronized damage taken effect to the actual shooter networked state. Previously it lead to out of sync effects where the shooter was not yet visible.
Fixed a rare client crash that could occur when a player joined late and a player just dropped/picked up a weapon.
Fixed a disconnect issue that could occur when loading a map.

Premium

Premium Friends - Non-Premium players' score will now show 0 throughout the match on all Scoreboards and End-of-Round screens.

RSP (Rent a Server Program)

Added new setting to allow for limited number of specific kits.
Added setting for round time limit multiplier.
Added setting for Unlimited Magazines.
Countdown stops if players drop: Lowered the required player count for countdown to start game round to the minimum number of players required to finish a game if pre-round is enabled. The player count is unchanged if pre-round is disabled.
Implemented a latency soft lock option where players with a ping higher than 100ms higher get kicked automatically.

UI

Fixed issue where the "Player-Created Content" option was grayed-out, unusable, and set to "Hide" after booting the title without a network connection.
Fixed the wrong transport driver chase camera caption in the controls UI.
The networking issues icons will not show up in Spectator Mode anymore.
