Sorry I looked up the patch release notes here and could have sworn they mentioned the glare but it was a comment in the comment section.

One of the most frustrating things for me in this game is team mates flashing their damn lights and lazers at me and the amount of glare it creates in broad daylight.

Last week they said it'd be in this update. Not there. Probably/hopefully will be taken care of in the future, but what the fuck is the hold up?
Besides game crashes, the irnv has been among the top 3 complaints in the game. Fuck.

They've done interviews with people like gamespy and said it was being addressed in this patch.

The way I understood it is that there's a patch going out to the PC/XBOX platform (pc first) that won't affect any of the game play, mainly fixing a few bugs. In early Dec probably right around the launch of Back to Karkand will be the first official update with the changes to the jets, tac light, explosions, building destruction, and whatever else they chose.

-- A detailed look at Squad refinements

A detailed look at Squad refinements

Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.

First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.

For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.

After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

Playing tonight around 7:00

The main thing that people were complaining about were the flashlights, and they didn't do shit about them.

[Lason]

OK well eyefinity works beautifully now! Bad news is it locks up on the second match everytime. Anyone else getting lockups? Its not like it was doing to me originally where the whole computer would lock up and I would have to do a hard reset. This time Im able to go to task mgr and by the time it comes up I have a "Battlefield 3 stopped responding" window waiting.

To quote myself, ran into lots of lag today.
Quit early due to it.
