Ok..... so where is the patch? The official site does not have it!

[Logan_Guevara]

I found some gamearena servers ( yeah I chooose them because they have low pings for malaysians like me) but they are of a later version. Where do I find the patch? :confused:

Yeah I got the game and its safely installed.

/offtopic is google down? I cant seem to access it! (SHOCK!)

[Revolution*47]

Hey mate.

I was just wondering if you had any troubles logging into the game at the EA account bit?

(sorry for the offtopic post)

Cheers.

I think it's unfair that EA Downloader buyers got special treatment in the first place. :rolleyes:

Then you must also think its unfair that anyone pre-ordering and getting special guns or the like is also unfair. I could have gotten a fancy gun =[

Pre Order's different. I suppose.

I just don't think that people who buy it in retail shops for a more expensive price should be treated like ****. Which they have been.

LOL EA is causing segregation upon the gaming community!!!

I say we tie them up and burn them as witches! (EA not the gamers)

I hate there entire marketing scheme with what they did on the demo being early, then I hate there upspoken spyware, then I hate the price changes randomly (lowered in UK, raised in US, really raised for the AU)

Now they go and start doing this...

they lost my business for the future, dont expect anybodies sympathy over it, its my choice and just voicing that I decided they went too far with this one, not like I am alone tho seems several others wont even buy this game due to all the crap.

[(AEF)Born2Die]

Cant connect to EA Downloader server...
Maybe, just maybe... (crosses fingers)

[Sir. kaheiyeh]

EA's servers are down, let's hope they're just putting the patch up or something of that nature.

[Got Your Back]

I cant connect either! OK BORN2DIE ... WTF did you do to the EA DLer? Hehehheeh!!

[Spuddy]

It's Tuesday, maintenance day as usual.

Stopping my pre-load from EAD. :(

[Logan_Guevara]

OH..... maintainance day eh? no wonder I cant connect to the EA master server.

My thoughts exactly and its not like there making that many good games If army of two didnt look so damn good I would boycott them compleltly

.
Pretty much every game in Australia is sold for that price.

[Digikid]

ah so that is why I cannot connect with my EA Downloader.

Thanks for the heads up.

[zoidberg]

still waiting for the patch
just got the game today

[Logan_Guevara]

update: f*** I give up. even playing with single player I get DISCONNECTED from my own server before 5 minutes of gameplay because of unstable connection to EA Master Server. They had better fix this up. My own locally hosted singpleplayer! God!

On the plus side the 16 player maps load even faster then the demo. That's good.

[(AEF)Born2Die]

In response to my query today as to why BF2142 isnt available via EA Downloader yet if the DVD version is on shelves today:

Response (Leo V.) 10/17/2006 02:23 AM
Hi,

Thanks for writing us at Electronic Arts Technical Support. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Unfortunately, the release date has been pushed back on the 20th of October, 2006. Unfortunately, we are still uncertain as the game developers have informed us that this is still tentative, but hopefully it is ready for download at that time.

We appreciate your patience on this.

Should you require further assistance with this game or other Electronic Arts games in the future, please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help knowledgebase at (http://support.ea.com/).

Thank you,

Leo V

Can't you set up an offline account? And no it's not flaming, I also play offline from time to time.

[Jofaba]

My EA Downloader still says it's coming out tomorrow, in 27 hours 40 minutes to be exact.

[zoidberg]

acctually you can setup an online account and play
ive tried a local game. got plenty of dc's
but singleplayer is fine

i think they puched back the relese date cause of the master server issue

[Elinombrable]

a patch is being released today...only wait some hours (i think its for the final release and the demo but not sure about this)

[Sgt_Stu]

i have to wait till friday to get my copy from play.com anyway so this doesnt really bother me :P

[No-Neck]

Aye, the UK release date was always 20th. :p

And in response to whoever said EAD was cheaper than the shops. Its actually still £2 more than a fully delivered DVD (after they dropped it by £7). :hmm:

[Alaz]

This is bull, i pre-ordered my game from the EA downloader and i get it late?

Once again EA displease their customers :O
We can't have that now can we!?. Welcome to EA's version of fair my friend.

[Sethonan]

But us EADownloaders get the "certainty" at least, that we'll be having a working copy the exact minute the master server goes live. I'd have liked a full week of advantage tough, my copy is more expensive than most retailers.

[dDub]

Patch is available on the EA Downloader as of a few minutes ago. Just finished downloading it... now i gotta wait for the game to be deliver later today ... =P

[ReaperOfsouls]

They are probally patching all the servers.

I live in scotland and we don't get it till friday (20th). So its only fair everyone else does.
It wouldnt be fair to give everyone in usa and that 4-5 days head start would it!

This game keeps sounding better, and better. If they are not using spyware to track our surfing habits, why would we need to uninstall a crucial security update?

I think MS patched the vulnerability that bf2142 is using.

So you need to uninstall the patch :)
