DICE delays Battlefield 5 update after it “discovered an issue”… that Nvidia ray tracing boost will have to wait

December 3, 2018 Updated with news of the update delay.

Nvidia has been promising that the ray tracing performance of its 20-series graphics cards would improve as the partnership with DICE on Battlefield V entered the optimisation stage. And the Battlefield V: Tides of War Chapter 1: Overture update was supposed to not only bring an unholy number of colons to the game, but also GPU improvements making the RTX version of the game up to 50% faster. Unfortunately DICE has announced in the game, and via Twitter, that it is holding the update. It doesn't anticipate a long delay and there should be news on its expected release on December 4. DICE has only said that it has discovered an issue, but hasn't detailed in what part of the game that is. So we don't know if that's anything to do with the up to 50% ray tracing perf bump that has been promised. Those figures are all according to DICE and Nvidia, obviously, but we’ll get a chance to put them to the test when the update does finally drop.
