Battlefield 1.4 Patch Delayed

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

Well it appears that some last minute bugs have arisen in the latest Battlefield 2 patch and it is going to be delayed. Here's what they had to say:
Due to some last minute changes the release of the 1.4 patch has been delayed.

We do not anticipate this delay being a lengthy one, however we do not have a fixed date for release at this time.

We will update you as soon as there is further information.

Apologies to those who were expecting the patch today, however in order for this patch to succeed in the way it is intended a little extra time is being taken to ensure it is right.

We understand that this is going to cause a significant amount of aggravation, however it is worth ensuring that the patch actually resolves as many issues as possible. So some additional time is being taken to ensure that this is the case.

This last thing we want is a repeat of the 1.3 patch.

Source: EA UK Forums (http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=27827) It has also been reported over at Battlefield2.nl (http://www.battlefield2.nl) that the patch will only be delayed for 24 hours. Here's what they had to say:
Although the patch was announced to be released today (by EA Spain), it seems a small bug has been found and needs to be fixed before patch release. The release of patch 1.4 has been postponed 24 hours in order to allow more testing and the fix of this small bug.

Source: Battlefield2.nl (http://www.battlefield2142.nl/index.php?id=347) That's the news for now. If we learn anymore about this delay we will certainly let you guys know. Better a fixed to perfection patch, than a buggy one being released.

[Killuminati]

If its 24 hours, then thats fine by me, i want POE ASAP!

[Mavlyn]

Grahhhh!
*slams head into wall*

Okay, breathe... breathe... it'll be fine... I can deal...

I really want that patch.

EDIT: I'm not upset that it's delayed, I'd rather have a good patch than a buggy one. I'm upset because today was my day off of work, and I was thinking, "Hey, sweet, I can play me some BF2!" Now, of course, I won't be able to try the new patch until NEXT FRIGGIN WEEK because of my schedule. Hence, head slamming.

[Detrux]

Fine by me, what's 1 more day? Rather have a functioning patch then a rushed one :)

[[MyIS]DAD_23]

If that is true, 24 hours...it's all good.
And true dat, you DO want POE....Everyone NEEDS it!

[Mabes[31stMEU]]

Did anyone doubt that it might be delayed? lol

but i'd much rather have it delayed then more bugs be released to the public

[Spuddy]

I hate the 'delayed' because when it comes to EA/DICE we're talking weeks/months, but if it's just 24 hours I can just about cope with the CTD's for that long.

[Auman.]

It's not a big deal, they've never really given a release date for a patch anyways since you never know what will happen. So, it's 24hrs, big deal, and they found something at the last minute so good for them for not releasing it.

[War.mongeR1]

Well this sure as heck better be a bug free patch then. I haven't played BF2 in friggin months since 1.3 BLEW so much as we all know. It will be worth it though, as I've been playing the 1.4 beta patch and it's fantastic. No more CTD for me, and my framerate in Operation Road Rage went way way up. You see, EA, just start Beta testing EVERYTHING from now on and customers will like you more since you hopefully won't be putting out any more bug-filled programs.

[imported_77th|Christensen]

If its just 24 hours...I think most anyone can deal with that. I'd rather have everything fixed, than have a patch that is the same as 1.3....

[Manzi]

Rather have a delay to fix a bug then a buggy patch.

[Shellshock_1918]

Wow...GG EA. It will still probably have bugs in it. I swear they can't do anything right.

[ikillnothing]

im actually glad they took the time and said oh a few little bugs we will hold it back and fix them in the past it would have been wow everyone gets a CTD from this patch oh well we will fix it with the next one :p

[USARANGER]

well, as much as i want it NOW! i guess they are actuaally doing the right thing by delaying it to fix some last minute problem. it seems EA/DICE are starting to do things right for a chance! YA!

[Biddly]

delayed
what a surprise.......not
first page woot

[Spuddy]

Better a good and fixed patch than a hotfix release next week !


Next week, that's overly optimistic at best. :laugh:

[LOWrider_NL]

your kiddin...another 24 hours -_-

[Sir. Pxl_Buzzard]

I dont mind waiting if it works this time. :)

[Kixfox]

ALRIGHT EA, a delayed patch is fine. But answere me this: does it f*cking fix the goddamn "bug" some dumb guy in your office implented that made even Linux servers able to have "pure on" aka "MD5 hash mode"?!?!?!?!?? DID YOU REMOVE THAT SH*IT? Cause that made me quit, and I miss BF2, but I don't miss waiting 5 minutes to play on a server that probaly will change the map again so I have to wait another 5 minutes.

Goddamn, I was a fanboy of EA before, I looooved everything. But since 1.3(?) everything got f*cked. Now I'm a hater, until they fix so I can play again.

I bought the game... it was expensive damnit, I had it the first day it came out, I played the demo and everything. I played 1942! I loved every Battlefield game, except Vietnam because of the poor coding that made it laggy.

[haffeysucks]

big surprise......not really, but at least they're trying to do things right this time.

[Mr Pmosh]

They want to release it with the demo of BF2142. They want to kill bf2. You will see.

[Dronetek]

Is POE coming out after the patch or something?

[AT39]

****.

[MaJoR_P]

Well I hope the patch will be good, if its "good" to EA than they probably will discontinue making patches for BF2 one year after its release.

[CDN-SMOKEJUMPER]

I don't really care, it will come out and I'll be playing regardless so what is a day, hell what is a week if they fix the bugs they found.

All I really care about is fixing some of the exploits and the infamous red tag bug.

[box_boy]

:( This is bad.

[Seal]

Well I didnt expect it to come out today and I'm not surprised...

[imported_jerryhopper]

uh-oh! last minute changes....

eeek! sounds very scary!

it kinda sounds like ' 1.3 betatesters telling they tested a whole different product.'

funny part is, yesterday i talked to a EA official who said, yes, everything is on schedule..... :(

[imported_cerberus]

Yeah no kidding...but I can wait 24 hours, if that is all it is going to be. I am getting sick of the month to 3 month delays on all the other things....and I DO NOT want this to be one of those...

[WDA_OPTIMUSPRIME]

Funny how they find the last min everything at EA they just found there the coder's head that did 1.3 it was in his arse. ROFL Idoits

[[MyIS]Dan]

This is a good thing really..

[Mekstizzle]

I wonder what that last minute bug was that they found...

Anwyway, today is a prime example of why mods like FH/PoE never say release dates.

[[GU]LIZARD{GEN}]

Wow...GG EA. It will still probably have bugs in it. I swear they can't do anything right.


Its fine by me, but let them fix my ****ing SF so I don't lag in the choppers every so often. I hope to god thats what they fix... the ****ers.

[Ogs]

Would be nice to know whats changed since the Beta 2 tbh.

[[77th]Balas]

it would probably be easier for EA/DICE to put out a good patch if A) they didnt love **** so much. and B) the programmers didnt spend thier freetime molesting office mail boys.

[Mr Pmosh]

Would be nice to know whats changed since the Beta 2 tbh.
That it's why the public beta testing failed. They changed things after beta 2 without public testing. And there is where dice canada will F$%^ it up. How much changes they have made in 1month after the beta 2. :rolleyes:

[Cicchetti]

OOO man i dont even have anything to say to this

[=[MI5]=RJW]

i said they would have to do something last min and well i was right. But at least they found it and are going to fix it before we found it

[ww2freak]

Loooool

[kenof2142]

Figures :(

[Gunwing]

I hope they can fix it soon or I might go nuts!

[Quizz]

i hope it isn getting delayed a second time but its better when thay fix little bugs.

[Repent]

I'm cool with a delay, at least issues are being dealt with before we install it.

;)

[machstem]

OOO man i dont even have anything to say to this

You just did

[DazzaDavie]

Just want a patch that will work first time. If i have to wait then so be it

Don't mean to be a idiot but what the hell is CTD?

[Dark0ne]

Weren't we told we were going to be pleasantly surprised? Funny, this seems like the same old DICE/EA bullcrap that they always pull. Incompetence at it's best.

[s2n_Murock]

yea it freakin sucks man damn EA again sucks and I bet the BETA for 2142 will be deleyed to lol:) :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Lavadisk]

well, im ok with that. not like im going to do soo much in one day with a new patch.

[HaVOCK-ElEEt]

If its 24 hours, then thats fine by me, i want POE ASAP!

24 hours wont matter much to me either.

I want to give POE another try, I did not like the first one at all. I consioder it one of the more overhyped MODs comming, considering thier models and graphics dont really look any better than most of the smaller teams work.

If it changes gamesplay alot, than that will be worth it. If tis just a different theatre, a new mode or two, and lots of spit and polish, then blah.

Bring on Pirates!!

[DazzaDavie]

Cheers bud........what a dumb *** i am:wall:

No, it just means you arent a full fledged DORk yet, your getting there though, lol.

[Refused|64270]

Is Anyone Even Surprised?

[DazzaDavie]

No, it just means you arent a full fledged DORk yet, your getting there though, lol.

lol, one day;)

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

Is Anyone Even Surprised?

If you have never worked on game development or done this level of coding, than you wouldnt understand probably. This stuff can be so much more tricky than people realize. Its not just simple math, where there is a definite answer to every problem.

Thats what testing is for, and delays and set backs are inevitable.

How long did it take HL2 to drop? It turned out to be the best game I ever palyed. Not to defend the delay too much, but I totaly understand.

[darkthunder]

All this whining from people because of a 24h delay. Let Dice/EA do their work and get it released, instead of crying like little girls about the delay. And you people wonder why DICE/EA has poor contact with the community :P *me thinks it has something to do with the community of whiners*

I'd rather have a delayed great patch, then an "on schedule" 1.3 patch.

[Caffeine]

Let's hope they listened to the beta testers now, and that they will do it right. Or maybe we'll have to wait till 1.8....

[{NOC}FTO]

All this whining from people because of a 24hr delay
why dont you stfu! im sick of all this bf2 **** my bf2 is goin in the ****ung bin when all the rest of my ea games are goin:evil:

bf2 is the biggest bug of all

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

why dont you stfu! im sick of all this bf2 **** my bf2 is goin in the ****ung bin when all the rest of my ea games are goin:evil:

bf2 is the biggest bug of all

LOL, I can tell how angry you are by your sig showing bf2 love and support, and because your on a BF2 forum, lol. :rolleyes:

[badge353]

I'm glad it was postponed. 1.3 has caused me soem headaches with the CTD. I just laugh becuase people are complaining about the 24 hour delay. These are the same people who would complain when the patch came out and had bug issues. The patch will still probably have bugs but by a 24 hr delay it will have one less bug.

[RocketChef]

I for myself don't complain about the 24h delay. It is just that there was a Beta meant to have the opportunity for the community to test the 1.4 changes. What they do now is fooling the community again with this full release instead of a beta 3 and these lame and old "last minute changes" reason. I heared that sentence before in a patch delay announcement and this patch was still crappy as hell after all...

[xisix]

WOW.

Rather have reliable patch but Last Minute changes. ... .. .. ..
Ugggh.h.h.h.h..h.. ...... seems to spell disaster though hope wrong. :cry:

Sure - welcome new option/map/etc but get a game that works + doesn't crash first.

[Heavy552 AWG]

They probably forgot to make a self installer for the official 1.4

[RIP.dissolute]

EA sounds like a girl who always says she'll show up for dinner at 7 but doesn't call you til 6:50 to tell you she can't make it.

[MrAus10]

I always knew it would be delayed.

[B.U.R.N_Eazy-E72]

What has me pi$$ed off the most is that they have known what was causing the CTD issue shortly after the 1.3 patch came out but instead of fixing it with a "hotfix" they basicly told everyone to go screw themselves and that they will just have to live with a game that may or may not crash on them at any givin time. I stopped playing BF2 for awhile because of this and was really looking forward to this new patch to fix that issue. I could care less about all the other crap but CTD is the biggest pain in the a$$ of all the bugs from 1.3 and now we have to still wait. If this isn't out by tomorrow then I may tell EA/Dice and all their products to go f themselves by not buying them anymore. :mad:

[Bickus^Dickus]

The connection lost pisses me of.

[Trevortt]

Nope doesn't bother me about the delay neither, main thing is we want a BUG FREE patch from DICE/EA for once. lol

[mindkill69]

i knew it, just have to wait a little longer :(

[sandman74]

Im really annoyed to be honest. All those of you who are patting EA on the back saying good call for delaying 24hrs after discovering a last minute bug... well you all need to ask yourself the same questions...


IF this patch was beta tested properly why did they discover a SHOWSTOPPER class bug right at the last second.... [it wasnt beta tested very well - doesnt bode well for when it gets released proper]

First of all we have the patch announcement from SPAIN, then a note from the NETHERLANDS that the patch will be delayed only 24hrs.... Erm... is there no central EA GAMES which coordinates these patches. Ah yes - that would be EA. Cananda who develop them... so why are random sites making announcements ? [they are unorganised and the bug fix just announced will be poorly tested as well as they have a self imposed 24hr deadline now. Why is EA.nl making announcements about EA.Canada's team ?]

They KNEW 1.3 would make the game unplayable, and yet they left it out in the public for soooo long, rather than pulling it. Why would they do this ? [nobody in their right mind can have a good answer as to justify their incompetence on this one. We all know that patch should have been pulled. - I have zero confidence that if 1.4patch is bad, they would have the balls to recall it as well.]


Lets face it - EA/DICE have screwed up EVERY SINGLE patch so far. Take them at their word (totally worthless) before getting hyped up about this patch.

Its like they dont have an agreed scope of test conditions that must all pass before their product is released. It wouldnt suprise me if their sole testing were the beta players, which means lots of bugs will be just waiting to be discovered that were never envisaged by the pool of beta players.

Its the opposite of the Frosties Advert on TV.... Its gonna be crap.... Its gonna be crap !!!!!

I actaully hope that Im wrong on this one, but sadly the cards are not falling in EA's favour.

[BIGDOG]

CTD issue shortly after the 1.3 patch came out but instead of fixing it with a "hotfix" they basicly told everyone to go screw themselves and that they will just have to live with a game that may or may not crash on them at any givin time.

I think EA North America could do a better job informing the public as to what's going on with their software we all purchased. There is no formal mention of the new 1.4 patch, nor why it was delayed on their EA.com site.

1.Because they have made changes after Beta 2 we have not tested.

Very scary we will probably be worse off than we are now. I mean just look at Dice Canada's track record with patches.


2.They are the gang that cant shoot straight it's incompetence plain and simple last minute bug my arse!


3.They gave us 1.3 to sell us AF The DICE of old is DEAD R.I.P!!!!!!

[ondskapen]

:mad: nice, so i cant play until they will relase the patch, and i dont know how long :mad:

its good to have CS:S and DOD:S as reserve :)

[doctastrangelove]

Well this is good and bad, good that they are fixing problems and admitting to old ones and bad that I have to wait to f*** that f***ing piece of s*** patch 1. f***ing 3. I am confident that it will not be a lemon like that f***ing peice of s*** we got last time. If it is a lemon we as gamers must attack EA/DICE for a hotfix, like we needed with 1.3. Now I am really happy that they are giving us a new map but I still would have rather have made a fix of 1.3 a week or so after 1.3's luanch (which is the worst day in Battlefield history).

well, here's an idea for you... WTF didn't they just ROLL BACK THE PATCH instead of continuing forward with it? They rolled back the very first patch (or server patch), least we forget?

My buddy can't play the game right now. He CTD everytime he loads and he's done everything short of an entire OS reinstall.

[Kendrix]

I myself do not get very many ctd's but am tired of the damn servers crashing due to the 1.3.

as for the person who mentioned how can a bug be a show stopper is beyond me. at least release the fix so people can stop ctd's and server crashing

i mean come on has no one else been upset due to the server crashes ?

[Nasty]

i think there must be a tree misplaced in the new map.

[skyline2k6]

does 24 hours really matter... its nothing... besides, i think it will be worth it, i tested the beta2 version, and it seemed fine, there was no crashes to desktop or failing to connect errors or anything. lets just hope for the best... ;)

They must patch the patch prior to releasing the patch that patches all pervious patches that did not patch errors that the patches were supposed to patch.

DUDE!

I just watched that! :)

Anyway, I have a question: Has the server IP/port/name/desc. bug been fixed in 1.4?

I haven't tried 1.4 BETA, but I do know that the most annoying bug apart from the random CTD has been not knowing which server you are on while or after connecting.

Anyone? Bueler?

This is for all the people who were skeptical because it was not on EA's main site. As you know it takes longer to update a web page than to post on a forum.

As well, they took the time to correct typos and grammar mistakes.

[sfsouthpaw]

As long as the end result is better than 1.3, then IMHO, it'll be worth it. The fact that they did beta tests shows that they're learning. I'm eager to see how well the patch works out. *crossing fingers* :rolleyes:

[denali333]

I started the download last night. It was going to be about an hour and a half to download so I went to bed thinking I would have it in the morning all ready to go. It stopped downloading at 95%. I always downlad the full patch and this one was around 540MB.
Oh well, will try again later.

[FM_Echo_One]

Wow...what a surprise... :rolleyes:

Are you kidding me? Fewer bugs when the patch actually come out? rofl...

[xisix]

Maybe 1.4 will take us back to the original version of BF2 ?

HA !

p.s. - agreed on why are we hearing announcements from all over place + forums + . ..... ? sigh.

why dont you stfu! im sick of all this bf2 **** my bf2 is goin in the ****ung bin when all the rest of my ea games are goin:evil:

bf2 is the biggest bug of all

really, you are the one who should stfu, battlefield 2 is one of the best games to hit the market in many many years, sure it has bugs, but EA and DICE are working their asses off to fix them, so just chill and await the next patch

[Wheelman56]

Looks like they finally figured out how to get a good patch out. Glad to see it. =)

Thax man you know what bug they found last it was the j10 it is so bad in the game it could damage our pc's as well. ROfl at least they got the big problems like inf. ONLy maps i mean why make to where the j10 can be shot downby the f35 and make it fair. Just make it inf. only map. Good idea there

Battlefield 2 1.4 Goes Back Into Development 05:15 am - Andrew Burnes - Games: Action (1 comment)
Battlefield 2 1.4 has gone back into development after an "issue" was found during final testing:

As many of you are now aware we have made the choice to take some extra time with the 1.4 patch before release. During our standard final processing of the 1.4 client update we came across an issue that, although it does not compromise stability, we felt needed to be addressed in order to meet our goal of improving the overall player experience with Battlefield 2. It has come to our attention that a beta version of the 1.4 client has leaked to the general public. It should be noted by players that this file is not final and being such could cause damage to players systems. We want to warn players to avoid the use of any client files that are not distributed by EA/DICE or one of our trusted partners. Once we have set a new schedule for release we will communicate this information to everyone.

[Tiberiansun292]

ya samething.

[DazzaDavie]

yea we need an update to just wtf is going on :laugh:


you wont get a update fro EA there BF2 site get updated once in a blue moon

I mean the last updates are over a month apart:laugh:

Well loaded up EA downloader and now all the previous patch downloads are no longer there now. I dunno, gonna go play SF now and hopefully when I log off later it will be there.

It will be released 4 pm PST. $5 on it.

[Widkidone]

DANK, i'll take that $5 off your hands! LMAO! I doubt it will be release today.

[bigpappa]

24 hours has come and gone, will it be 48 hours this time?

You will all be waiting for nothing. The 24 hour delay is nothing but speculation so until I hear it directly from EA/DICE then I won't believe it.

This is why patches should never be given a release date and why they didn't give one in the past.

It raises expectations and when there is a last minute bug found and the release date is pushed forward, and the kids whine.

Me, I'm happy they found the bug and had the integrity to postpone it.

It'll be done when it's done.

[Mr. ADHD]

here's what my telepathy is told me....Spawndemon']......
We understand that this is going to cause a significant amount of aggravation, however it is worth ensuring that the patch actually resolves as many issues as possible. So some additional time is being taken to ensure that this is the case.[INSERT: and we want to shut you babies up]

This last thing we want is a repeat of the 1.3 patch.

Source: EA UK Forums (http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=27827)[/INDENT] It has also been reported over at Battlefield2.nl (http://www.battlefield2.nl) that the patch will only be delayed for 24 hours. Here's what they had to say:
Although the patch was announced to be released today (by EA Spain), it seems a small bug has been found and needs to be fixed before patch release. The release of patch 1.4 has been postponed 24 hours in order to allow more testing and the fix of this small bug.

Source: Battlefield2.nl (http://www.battlefield2142.nl/index.php?id=347) That's the news for now. If we learn anymore about this delay we will certainly let you guys know. Better a fixed to perfection patch, than a buggy one being released.

[TOCC_EFMM]

Thanks for the inside info, LOWriderNL.
Although it would be nice to get the patch this week, i have no problem waiting for another week or month. Road to Jalalabad will be a good add-on, anyway...

[WDA_OPTIMUSPRIME]

So let's get this right EA/dice has had all this time in the beta all the sudden one bug stop's the whole thing! Funny isn't the demo for 2142 coming out soon. Hmmmmmmm i wonder if they just plan things like this ?


But i'm sure there will be penlty of peeps that run for 2142 so the patch now a week at least. Really suck i wanted to play this month

when i was running it i had no problems :hmm: maybe your computer set up
funny thing is it ran fine since I started BF2 in Jan. - since 1.3 patch I been having lots of lag/CTD issues. Got slightly WORSE w/1.4 Beta (I went to that in an attempt to cure the 1.3 issues), and now CTD about once every 2-3 games...

I also get massive lag even though it shows 15mS/25mS connections on some servers....I get 4-5 SEC lag spikes. Totally ruins a bombing run...:rolleyes:

[msi911]

...All this whining from people because of a 24h delay. Let Dice/EA do their work and get it released, instead of crying like little girls about the delay. ....

What a load of cr*p. One year after the release BF2 is still not working. It took several patches to fix the server selection screen bugs. It worked perfectly in BF1942 and then they break it in BF2 - that really takes some serious programming!! :evil:

If EA let Dice do their job instead of pushing an unfinished product out the door things would be far better.

I have a great idea, how about finishing the game BEFORE you sell it.
Isn't anything worse than paying $60 for a game that is buggy, then having to wait through God only know how many patches so that EA can get it right.
I love playing the Battlefield series but come on, buying a buggy game is like buying a brand new car, then having to wait months on tires, wheels, and spark plugs.

[DazzaDavie]

On the BF2 0fficial site in the community update about 2142 beta testing it says this nice little line

"Rest assured that this is not a sign that we are moving away from our excellent standard of conquest game play"

If it was such a excellent standard of game play none of us would be having these problems.

Talk about up there own asses

We'll atleast they try when this happens, Because if they wanted to they could just throw it down the drain and not give us any patches. Just leaving the game at 1.3 which would be really bad then.

By doing so ... the gates of hell , figurely speaking would be released and put them in a position were they could actually loose many of the community.

Lets be honest...after all the hard words, disappointments and false hope, the majority of us is STILL going to buy bf2142...i read some comments already on the beta release of bf2142 stating...loading is fast, buddy list is nice...stable...but gameplay sucks, maps suck...graphics suck... while reading this i can't stop thinking...what can EA-Dice do to make us have "a little faith" again. By releasing a beta they are taking a serieus risk...be sure the competition is peeking over the public beta testers schoulders just to tacke them . Im disappointed in al the negativity...around bf2 AND bf2142. Concerning bf2...i have never had such a "wow" factor first playing this game...it surpassed my wildest dreams of a largescale wargame on a multiplayer basis. Yes it has its flaws..BUT hey remember...they are STILL working on it...keep this in mind afterall. Thus concerning bf2142....why the negativity?? People please it's a beta? Maybe we are spoiled to live in this digital evergrowing world with increased demands buy everey step forward we take. Don't judge a beta? It's actually a gift...'Dice saying..."hey guys we means **** without you so here....tell us what YOU LIKE" That"s the pure essence of the open beta...so help them en make it an awesome game!

I dont like the probs either and from time to time i freak out like all of you guys about it but hey? I haven't seen an alternative for this mindblowings series...and no ET:Quakewars in my opinion cant be put in the same category...Its just quake on a multiplayer basis with great, realy amazing stuff but its still quake and i like it but not as much i will ever do for the in my humbele opinion trendsetting battlefield gameplay.......................................... .....maybe there lies the reason of our reactions...we simply love bf too much too see it deteriorate and become a sloppy version of its once kick *** self

If you dont like the game dont play it! All I see here on this thread is constant whinges about how the games pants, the patches are pants and EA/DICE are pants.If you feel so strongly about it, do something about, stop playing the game. Yes I have the same problems but I still play it, think it the best onliner I've played and yes I will be buying BF2142. I'd rather have a patch that works and wait for it rather than have a patch now that doesnt work.

LOL buddy! What a funny post! Did they ever release a patch that "worked"? Or did their patches ever "worked" even when they were delayed? Think about it and let this "happening" start all over when you buy your highly anticipated BF2142. The market needs such morons like you.

I was talking about the delay but i think hacking is possible because its a BETA. so the patchers can change stuff on the fly like those "hackers."

EA/dice dont care they have had a yr to fix these issues and maybe there plan is not to fix it so people will buy 2142?

2142 will be released before 1.4:(

Where is Colin and his community update now!

Opps, we stuffed up again but we should have it to you within a month would be better than what we currently have.

Come on EA/Dice, your lack of voice is a major concern.

Try to keep some of your loyal fans rather than loosing the lot!

What a shame for the BF2 community.

[DogGunn]

Wouldn't have anything to do with BF2142 beta would it? :p

[sgtsam150892]

I cam getting tired of ea now. They said it will be release on the 15th and now its been 5 days alrdy and still no patch. The bug that they found near the relase should have been fixed well before. They need to start putting there act togeather other wise there gonnah lose all there customers.

I remember hearing "a week" so it should be here tomorrow. :/

[Sweetmate]

I love how DICE dont even realise that blabbing on about their money grabbing 2142 "tuning Beta" instead of fixing the catastrophic 1.3 patch is actually hammering in the last nails in the coffin for 2142 and the BF series.

From their "brilliant" community update:
We will also be working closely with clan groups to get feedback on game tuning and tactics from the competitive player’s point of view. Please make sure to visit the forums and speak with us about your thoughts on Battlefield 2142. We are eager to play along side everyone so be sure to keep your eyes open for those [DICE] and [EA] soldiers.
Here's my view on 2142, you can stick it right up your arses! Do you honestly think we are stupid enough to buy what you shovel after what you've done to BF2?

i will believes its when i sees its.

Why is everyone up in arms over this???? This was from EA's website on the 15th of this month. Before you flame and go all crazy, why do you even play if you dont enjoy it? I just think it is ironic of all the people who spazz over this game and want to boycott everything, but still spend the time to troll the battlefield 2 forums. Just think it is funny, thats all!

Community Update - 8/15/06

Greetings Everyone, As many of you are now aware we have made the choice to take some extra time with the 1.4 patch before release.

During our standard final processing of the 1.4 client update we came across an issue that, although it does not compromise stability, we felt needed to be addressed in order to meet our goal of improving the overall player experience with Battlefield 2.

It has come to our attention that a beta version of the 1.4 client has leaked to the general public. It should be noted by players that this file is not final and being such could cause damage to players systems.

We want to warn players to avoid the use of any client files that are not distributed by EA/DICE or one of our trusted partners. Once we have set a new schedule for release we will communicate this information to everyone.

I believe must people simply would be happy with a hotfix for the server crashing problem and CTF problem. The other issues are minor in comparison. EA should have released a hotfix for the critical issues and taken the right amount of time for the other non-critical issues. I rent 3 ranked servers for my clan and it's been a struggle to keep attendance up as the servers crash 2, 3 or more times a day. Most people know it's a patch issue but when a server crashes, most just find another server to hop on real quick so our server that crashes then looses the players and sits empty.

I was excited to see all patches removed from the EA downloader yesterday. This afternoon I look and they have added 1.3 back on. Not a good sign for us but I will hope for the best.

[imported_cmall1113]

i just hope it comes out today or tomorrow

[mursht]

[kenof2142]

Just kidding....................I got nothing :laugh:

[bigpappa]

Just one more week!


yes, i am so excited. is that one more week from today or one more week from next week?

[imported_Max_Cavalera]

omg
JUST PLAY the Beta 1.4b
it's far better than 1.3, new map, and ranked servers

[imported_Victor]

erm.................

I've just updated my EA Downloader and whilst bored outta my mind last night I was checking files in my cache file, which is in the downloader folder and found the 1.4 full & incremental files! They didnt show when you start the downloader though. I opened the incremental in WordPad and there are true and false lines in there, so I was kinda tempted to fiddle with the file, but thought against it.

So does that mean the patch is ready and EA/Dice are just waiting for something, or is the downloader just been made ready for when the patchs are sorted????

that donkey & carrot feeling springs to mind :(

I just changed a value in the file and the patch displayed in the downloader...but it points to an invalid url. So don't bother looking into it.

[AH-1Z_COBRA]

has anyone heard any rumors about 1.4's release date?

[Heavy552 AWG]

There are already copies floating about the internet hosted on various servers. A little research into threads and forum postings will reveal the story.

This whole pre-patch 1.4 story is like sour milk, stinking up the game worse by the hour.

[DuffMan]

has anyone heard any rumors about 1.4's release date?
Sometime between now and a googolplex seconds from now

[Repent]

It is definitely going to be released, with out a doubt on or before the time that the patch is going to be available for download within the time of the next new moon on or before the equinox or in between the time it takes for a train to leave chicago and arrive at new york on the morning of the next tuesday or the first month of the second lunar eclipse.

Give or take a day or two.

;)

[GarethKK]

The 1.4 beta patch is working great for me with the exception of a few dodgy servers.

[imported_Bluebird]

I see, there is a lesson to be learned here boys and girls. EA is giving us the basic knowledge on how a global company should be ran:

- Never pay attention to customers
- Never meet deadlines
- No customer service
- Manufacture buggy products
- Fix one thing and get five more problems

...and still make billions of dollars off the same customers they are screwing. :confused:

[ritzbis]

if 1.3 is so bad why dont the servers go back to the patch before 1.3 seems to be the logical step to me and wait for 1.4 to be finished :laugh:

[FM_Echo_One]

So yeah....what happened to the patch? All this BF2142 info, beta, etc....and 1.4 goes out the window. :hmm:

At least we go the veterans program. :D :rolleyes:

[Nefarious]

This 1.4 patch/ BF2142 veterans crap; it all seems like a bad dream. Its as if the BF2 community was stuck in some weird soap opera. The drama of the delays, the new features. An abortion occured and delayed the child that is 1.4. ohh noo, an affair took place, a child born with one parent, called it bf2142.

[folkstyle171]

They can't, in the roe the ranked servers have to use the most up to date version.

[LuckyStrike]

The wait wouldn't be so bad but with such a huge problem with server crashes in 1.3 it is soooooo frustrating.

[GarethKK]

Spawndemon']It has also been reported over at Battlefield2.nl (http://www.battlefield2.nl) that the patch will only be delayed for 24 hours.

lol :laugh:

[F1br-Opt1x]

Wow... it's now the 24th and still no patch. I refuse to buy any more EA porducts untill I can play Battlefield 2 with no crashes.

I'm not buying bf2142 thats for sure!

[Digital Omen]

Community Relations just suck in this company. if they even know such a thing exists.

[56thTitan]

I have one thing to say......

Class action law suit.

Everyone knows the reasons why, could you imagine if every BF2 player got together and filed a class action against EA?

Yeah I know it wouldn't happen but just think if it did.....

A classic uncle sam response there. Why all the hate? Just play the beta or FEAR Combat in the meantime and a patch will show up when they're ready to release one.

[IIIsmokeyIII]

Hi guys our server went down larst night (III Clani3 III) and this morning it is back up we have done some tests and it is now running a diffront patch so we think it is 1.4.

[cestcomi]

Quote: EAUK_Sentience

As an update to progress with the delayed 1.4 patch, the patch has now passed initial re-testing but has yet to pass final approval before it is prepped for release. When this has happened the patch will be staged for release and we will let you all know. Once again we appologise for any frustration this delay is causing however it has occured to ensure the patch is as solid as possible.

[JimGoose]

man am i ever glad I didn't pay for BF2 and was lucky a friend gave me his CD-key. I was dumb enough to buy SF for the unlocks though.

the fact that EA would release games before they're ready is a testament to their devotion to the bottom line and not the game itself.

BF2 has potential but it's publishers like EA who destroy games by rushing them out before putting real effort into ensuring a stable experience. It's not just BF2, there are a slew of EA published games. I remember beta testing C&C Renegade, another game with loads of potential, we in the community back then would post on their official forums telling them that it wasn't ready to be released and we were right, EA didn't care. I still bought Renegade for the unmatched base vs. base FPS/RTS hybrid style.

We have to blame ourselves as much as we blame EA, because were the ones who keep supporting their money whoring ways.

end rant.

[UltrAdamSki]

end rant.
are you kidding? cause i am sure i got you as saying you didnt even buy the bf2 disc!

let us who paid for this product moan if we wish, and its no wonder they are 'money whoring', as you put it, if everyone like you is bootlegging them to high heaven.

i am as stingey as the next man when it comes to apps and stuff on the pc, but when i enjoy and invest as much time as i do in this franchise, i thought i would go legit for the entire bf2 series.

I borrowed a firend's copy and liked it so much I bought my own. I think that's totally reasonable. The demo left much to be desired and didn't expose the full scope of it's potential to the prospective consumer. Beleive what you want because frankly, I don't care, but if this guy's friend gave him the CD key it means he is not playing anymore which means that the paid game is being used ifnot by his friend, then by him when his friend is not playing and vice versa. It all evenc out in the works. BTW I do think that if a game is good enough you should pay for it. If the demo blows then do some research before paying for it.
