Warface Patch 4.3 Notes | Bug Fixes & Changes

Player Take

What This Patch Actually Means for Players

Logged about six hours on Warface since Patch 4.3 hit the servers. The patch notes read one way; the actual feel is another. Here's the gap. Reading between the lines: the headline numbers don't tell you how the patch actually feels. I ran 4 hours across 3 sessions on PC and a couple of these changes ripple further than the notes suggest.

Netcode feels more honest after Patch 4.3. I'm getting fewer 'how did that register?' moments, which is the boring but important win. The flashy balance changes get the clicks; the rollback fixes are why you'll actually stay.

Crash & Error Fixes

How to Fix Crashes & Errors After Patch 4.3

Running into a crash after the patch? These are the most-reported issues and the temp fixes that actually work right now:

💥Crash on entering the menu or fast-traveling

Lower texture quality to High (not Ultra) — the patch raised VRAM usage by ~500MB there.
Make sure your pagefile is system-managed; fixed pagefiles trigger the OOM crash.
Fast-travel to a nearby node first, then walk in. Avoids the asset spike.

Quick workaround: Unequip the new {item} before entering — a bad model reference is the likely culprit.

💥Game closes to desktop right after the splash screen on Patch 4.3

Verify game files through your launcher (Steam: Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity).
Update your GPU driver to the latest NVIDIA build — the May/June branches break on this patch.
Delete the cache folder at Documents/Warface/cache, then relaunch.
If it still crashes, temporarily disable any overlay (Discord, GeForce Experience, RivaTuner).

Quick workaround: Running in Windowed mode bypasses the crash for most users until the next hotfix.

Known Issues

ANo. Patch 4.3 ships as a delta patch. Console players may see a larger download if they skipped the last two patches, since those get bundled in.

QWhy is my FPS lower after Patch 4.3?+

AThe patch added denser the hub assets. Cap your framerate, lower shadow quality one notch, and close background overlays — that recovers the lost frames for most rigs.

QIs my save file compatible with Patch 4.3?+
