The DirectX 12 problem that's been haunting Update 20 since its release is finally fully resolved. Hotfix 3 is live now, and this time the fix actually sticks, players can switch to DX12 in settings and have it save correctly instead of reverting on restart.

Beyond the graphics API fix, this hotfix cleans up a handful of annoying bugs that were breaking immersion and loadouts. Tank gunners won't see shells keep unloading after they bail out, the Canadian Veteran loadout no longer has smoke grenades and Mills Bombs in the wrong slots, and there's a visual seam fixed on Juno Beach that was probably driving map detail enthusiasts up the wall.

It's a smaller update than Hotfix 2, but it's the one that matters most, getting DX12 working properly removes a major barrier for AMD GPU owners who've been stuck on DX11 since launch. Here's what else changed.
