lol kalero at least ur able to play man

[C.Sartoris]

^^ They seem to of addressed the main problems. If they fixed stuff and didn't create any more problems, I am happy.

[Talus]

So what is the version number so I can update my ASE filters.txt file?

[Jofaba]

How about you try it before you *****. The last "fix" in the list is a multitude of fixes.

EDIT: PS, I don't get it. The EA link doesn't work and there's no mention of this on EA's site. I've got 7 minutes left until I can download on Filecloud, but are you sure this is official?

[cloakster]

Can't wait to see the new bugs from this patch! JK lol 1.22 is right around the corner

[Domo]

Thanks EA for screwing my PC up again, i now have a completly white screen, thank the lord for Alt-Tab!

I downloaded mine straight off of EA's FTP site.

[thesalt]

Wonder how long it'll take for people to start whining about this one?


Bup, too late.

[Sir. Elxx]

9 bugs down, somewhere around 47 left to fix. Anybody taking bets on how many new bugs this patch created as well?

[Jofaba]

Well, I haven't downloaded yet but I'm afraid of incrimentals because when they fail, the patch no longer identifies what you have as the previous patch, and thus you have to start all over. So, in all honesty, in prep for 1.21 (which I expected to come out tomorrow), I bought COD2 so I don't freak out when I don't have a game to play. COD2 kicks butt! But only in single player. It's graphically superior to BF2, but the multiplayer version is just Counter Strike revamped. And even that's saying a lot. I love BF2!!! But man, COD is really intense. Thank god too cause if this patch does bad things, and if I didn't have this other game to fall back on, I'd probably do bad things =P

Probably to my computer too. Poor poor computer...

[PunisherUK]

Not a single ranked server running this, no point in downloading it now.

[BearAteMe]

Exactly try it first. Oh and it does say incremental. You should have some cheese you wouldn't want to have all that whine on an empty stomach.

[Talus]

I started playing Half Life 2 over again while waiting for v1.21.

Damn..Ravenholme is creepy.

XBF2 is hosting a mirror of the 1.21 patch, get it here if you still need it:
http://www.xbf2.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=4
or www.xbf2.com go to Downloads page.
(requires a free forum registration to access patch i think, but its uncapped speeds)

[Jofaba]

I believe you that you are, but the link leads me to a 404 and there is no mention on battlefield2.ea.com even after clearing my cache. Anyway, it only took a couple of seconds on Filecloud so here goes...

No servers? NOOOO! maybe I won't install just yet. Thanks for that heads up! I want to play tonight. I'll wait until the servers patch.

[Hoppum]

How could they miss out all the AT missile problems?

[Tobacco]

How about you try it before you *****. The last "fix" in the list is a multitude of fixes.


I would, but I know it will probably be tomorrow before any/all servers switch over to the latest patch. Plus, I see no mention of the RED Name Tag Bug, or the AT(and other weapons) misfire, or shoot through stuff. Now, if all this is included as apart of the last "Fix" then great, but I highly doubt it since ALL of the above mentioned bugs have been around since the release and soo far EA/Dice have done nothing about it.

How often do you have to wipe the drool off your face?

The patches are the same server or client. The problem will be is that Ranked servers are hosted by partners and they will be a little slower getting the patch installed. It is to be officially released tomorrow and until then you will probably not see many servers. However there are some out there as a previous poster stated and proved by providing a handy little link.

[Jofaba]

Yeah, Ravenholme IS pretty creepy. HL2 is by far the best single player game I've ever run across. Even beats out COD2 hands down. (Course, completely different subject matters and approaches so doesn't make sense to compare the two). It's funny, because HL2 has parts that can be compared to almost every game out and every game COMING out.

1) Starship troopers. Those sand things (not the head biters, the big alien things that you end up controlling with squeezy powder things. Sorry if I'm getting too technical, on my freetime I'm a molecular bye-all-oh-jist)

2) Quake Wars- Well, basically the whole game heh.

That's enough. Two's enough. Though example 1) is a game that sucks and 2) might rock.

[ptegan]

but I highly doubt it since ALL of the above mentioned bugs have been around since the release and soo far EA/Dice have done nothing about it. T


Wrong.....And wrong.

All of these bugs were created by the 1.2 patch and the patch notes cover the AT rockets.

[Jofaba]

How could they miss out all the AT missile problems?

Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other sync issues.

Like I said, that last line is a whole multitude of fixes. I cant say whether it's actually fixed, but just because 20+ fixes are reduced to a single sentence doesn't mean they missed it.

[Zandog]

9 bugs down, somewhere around 47 left to fix. Anybody taking bets on how many new bugs this patch created as well?

Vegas wont take the numbers on this.... Either way, I know it's going to happen.

It's been stated before that most of the AT missile bugs, guns reloading, scope going away etc. are all net code bugs. Those issues will never go away completely because there will always be a possibility of miscommunication between client and server. They obviously did something in 1.2 though that made it worse for a higher percentage of people playing the game. If they fixed those issues I'd be more than happy. I'm glad they've changed gameplay if we all just wanted to play a static non-changing game we'd all still be on BF1942 or something.

Ho ho ho! I gotta say, I cursed out the downloader like twelve times because it looked like it froze up but I got a sucessfull patch. Now I'm off to game. Sorry I can't stay for some more enthralling bitching and moaning about something not even tried out yet.

ummm, no, you are Wrong Wrong. I have 300hrs(of 700 Total) as AT, so I think I can safely say that AT missles shooting through stuff has been going on from the get go. Same for the Red Name bug, sorry. Besides, WTF does what you said have to do with possibly fixing it this time around? Nothing.

[Shamus]

. . . if we all just wanted to play a static non-changing game we'd all still be on BF1942 or something.Word to the B. That's one of the wisest things stated in this thread.

[imported_Jazza]

AT missles shooting through stuff

You mean like cars? It goes over the drivers head or something like that. I've seen it a lot :)

Edit: Has the ATi bug been fixed? Any performance increase? I cant test the patch at the moment because no Australian servers are running it :(

[squeak]

im going to wait...hopefully tomorrow the offical version will be out. Sometimes these unofficial patches have some leaks in it.

[Shamus]

Edit: Has the ATi bug been fixed? Any performance increase? I cant test the patch at the moment because no Australian servers are running it :(If you have a 92XX series of ATI card or another card that uses PS version 1.4, then yes, it is supposed to be fixed.

[robertgilbert86]

Well I've just played a bit of Dalian Plant and......

The PKM is the same

The AA is still crap - dog fights are over very quickly



DICE, what have we done to deserve this?

[imported_Jazza]

If you have a 92XX series of ATI card or another card that uses PS version 1.4, then yes, it is supposed to be fixed.

Damn, 6800GS which is struggling at 1024x768 2xAA most medium :evil:

I downloaded it directly off EA's ftp server, so what makes you think this isn't "official?"

How much RAM do you have?

[Tobacco]

Ok, well if they reduce the misfires to 1/5 instead of the current 3/5 then I'll be happy.

Alright, bring on that booster pack now :P

[Soda]

Sweet. tested the game and now I can finally play.

[BIFF EXPLODER]

if the only thing needed is 1.4ps, than u can play on any 9xxx card, doesnt need to be 92xx, and it would include the 8500 aswell.

[esisthebest]

OH YOU WHINERS STOP BITC HING ABOUT THEM RELEASING THE PATCH A MONTH LATE AND THE BOOSTER A MONTH AND A HALF LATE,


jk obviously they fing let us down for so long, i am bored with the idea of euro forces now cause they let out all of the weapons a month early so everyone has already used them and there are many custom maps that are much better than the euro forces 3 non 64 player maps, cmon man and at least they should make the battles massive and have more than 2 planes and helis and tanks per team why dont they make an fing carrier battle at sea like ww2 and have 4 carriers on 4 with 5 planes on each that would be sweet, in bf42 they had moving ships but in this they couldnt even do that wtf. anyways this better be good cause i waited for it sooooo long

[sackynut]

the incremental Failed for me, so I DLed the Full patch and it worked.

[Jofaba]

Unfortunately I have to report two bugs so far, both related to the "red blue bug". Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not complaining on a whim:

1) I was killed by the enemy but it said "team kill"

2) I played as medic and was given the health info of the enemy as if they were my own. Know that bar that shows up on a dead guy? Was on the enemy too. I tried to revive him until I realized what was going on.

[esisthebest]

jofoba i wanna know what u think about my comment give me a reply

[Ashaman_Jay]

DLing from a torrent :)

have a look on mininova. Incremental is there.

[Jofaba]

Some valid points and some silly bitching (you're allowed to say ***** btw). In all honesty though, even I'm starting to get tired of the mistakes. BF2 is by far the best game that there is, and in that aspect we should give them the benefit of the doubt that the code is super complex and just amazingly hard to fix after it's already been released. And I'm okay with that; personally.

Their explainations make sense. If you try to fix one thing, you might ruin 10 other things. I haven't been here since the release, so I can't say what's been fixed, nerfed or ruined. My fps dropped from about 90 to about 80 with this patch , but my computer has been screwing up lately so it's probably that, not the patch.

If what I stated as being the remains of the Red Blue bug are all there are, then it's simply an exploit that helps out medics on the opposing team. In the active field, it won't be that much of an exploit. It's more confusing than helpful, and I wasn't able to revive the other team's players.

I support EA, and I give that support based on the fact that they have a presence here. They obviously care. Any fool with a mind for buisness knows that every "bad" patch hurts them. Not only does it tarnish their image, but it also hurts their wallet. Since 1.2 didn't live up to it's name, and 1.21 didn't live up to it's name (even before it was released), even less people will buy Euro Force than planned to. They are a buisness, and that hurts them.

Everyone thinks that fixing things is easy. They like to think that EA is a bunch of idiots. But that runs against every model of personal and corporate buisness , if you know how the figures you're looking at work.

A standard home buisness is expected to be in the red for over a year before turning a profit. A corporate buisness is only aplified in that aspect. When you add in how many employees they have, how much the DICE buyout cost, and the limited input of money from shareholders and game players (especially when things turn out as bad as they have been lately for EA/DICE) you'll see that the only explaination is that, unfortunately BF2 is pretty much at where it's at. There'll only be small fixes from this point forward. Waiting for the holy grail of patches is just going to waste your time and patience, and make you anti-EA, which is silly, because it's quite obvious that the next battlefield game will rockem and sockem. Do you really think they haven't learned bigtime from this?

In the end though, it's all in the player, and about half of hte players will always complain regardless of the gamepay and bugs introduced. Like I said in another thread, I'll put money on the bet that no one, team or person alone, can put out a mod that's basically a community released patch that makes BF2 the perfect game everyone thinks it should be. If you do so, you'll not only get a cash prize from me, but you'll win over the entire community of a couple dozen thousand large, and either you'll be bought out by EA for hundreds of thousands of dollars, or put them out of buisness. How about that for a dare?

[TPM-METNORM-]

if you guys think that ea trying to fix problems and getting a something messed up but then come out with a new patch shortly after words i hate to see you try to play novalogic games. we waited a year to get a patch for joint ops and with it added things like hit indicater and kill cam (points to the person that killed you) both of which really sucked. but did fix a couple things but now they have that out we won't see another for a year if we are lucky but we'll prolly have a new game rather then fixing the one that is popular.

anyway at least ea is trying. stop bitching it could be alot worse.

[machstem]

I started playing Half Life 2 over again while waiting for v1.21.

Damn..Ravenholme is creepy.

Don't I know it! :)

I hope I can find some servers to play on.

Normally they announce a server release before a client release, this is somehow different. EuroForce is only on the 15th, right?

Anyhow, if I don't find a server to play on, this is going to suck....I don't have many chances to jump on and play...hehehe

PEACE

[Napalmas]

Yeah seems like they need to fix more than that, but its a start.

[[WOLF]bbob]

Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other sync issues

This one covers the AT rocket not really firering etc.

And the video card thing covers the vid card bugs..

[Curtis12]

for some reason when i try downloading it on ea site i get a 404 page error so should i download or wait till tomorrow

[Sgt_Nick]

For those that say it's not official.

8 billion, all the soldiers have no heads in my game!!!! keep in mind this is on my geforce fx 5200, but i'll install my 9600 pro and see

edit: installed 9600 pro (wee went from 32mb to 256!) i still have no heads on any of my soldiers, re-installing bf2 from scratch...

[xisix]

I would, but I know it will probably be tomorrow before any/all servers switch over to the latest patch. Plus, I see no mention of the RED Name Tag Bug, or the AT(and other weapons) misfire, or shoot through stuff. Now, if all this is included as apart of the last "Fix" then great, but I highly doubt it since ALL of the above mentioned bugs have been around since the release and soo far EA/Dice have done nothing about it.


These are my first thoughts, too.

Real pain to fire straight through enemy armor + to get attacked + kill
friendlies !

:hmm:

[phresh]

Well I'm yet to go flaming EA around here but meh. I haven't tried this patch yet but it's funny how many people are criticizing it before they've even try it. I wish I could say they are wrong in doing this but unforutnately they're probably right.
BF2 has the potential to be the greatest online FPS ever. DICE could have made it that. EA recently acquired DICE so who knows what will happen - hopefully they'll get their sh*t together. I truely wish DICE would have never had a game published by EA. DICE could distribute their game via Steam and then they wouldn't have had to get regulated by EA. I think EA has the final say on everything because they are the publisher and this is just stupid. The game devs are the ones who should have creative control.
My biggest criticism is that they have ignored core bugs in the game and spent their time changing things to suit a bunch of people whinging on forums like this. The firendly appearing as an enemy bug, the flag not registering as having been cap'd bug, the AT missile shooting through vehicles bug, the type 'e' at the end of a chat message and exit your vehilce bug. These are critical and should have been addressed in the first patch but no, they just nerf a bunch of crap and create new core bugs. Lame lame lame.
Tweaking gameplay when there are real issues to address - this is just plain bad. Once the game is polished, whatever, nerf my blackhawk, make AA take zero skill to use, whatever, but ignoring the real issues at hand, this is simply unexcusable.
Oh, and Mr. Lars Gustavsson, Creative director, DICE - stating in an interview the other day stating "We constantly try to improve our support (to the mod community)" - this is a complete lie and it's fkn lame too.
Bring on ET:QW and UT2k7, DICE can go make football games for consoles for all I care, they are no longer what they once were, now they're just another one of the many faceless gamedev sweat shops that EA controls.
Still, I hope I'm wrong and they'll make this game all that it could be.. like I said, the potential is there but I've been losing hope steadily.
-phresh

Great read here (http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=0&cId=3148188), see how Mr. Gustavsson sounds compared to the guys at Epic, Id and Valve - what a joke.

[[GU]LIZARD{GEN}]

I won't even bother posting, you can't post the same thing but so many times.

I got to say and agree that this patch was released as quickly as possible to get euro forces out. Why on Earth they think everyone is going to jump and buy Euro Forces right away is beyond me. I personally like free maps in patches. Sucks that now to get a new map we have to pay for it. I think I'll just wait for the mods... so we won't have all this garbage.

[Mosstrooper]

Screw you guys. I'm just happy to be able to play the game again, and its STILL fun!

Althought i will say that the support guns need to be toned down.

[Bigtime834]

That's all the fixes? Lame!


T

Yea i no I was thinking the same thing. O well, i just hope it inproves from the previous patch. Last but not least thank you very much for this message topic thing lololol.:)

[Uber:Jagermeiter]

:rolleyes: I like it-- I figured out The AA and shot down 3 J-10's sound is better too-
Ok I admit it- I jumped the gun---My apologies-seems like a solid fix

I'll be quiet now:cool:

[Mosstrooper]

T

I agree with what you are saying. The Red tag bug is still intact, in fact, i had my first instance of it in a while today. But one thing, don't call 1.21 a "fix" because it did fix stuff. I couldn't play the game with 1.2 due to servere lag/invisible buildings. 1.21 fixed that and I'm grateful.

[NaTaS]

There Should Have Been More Fixes

X(

[Hero_Sub]

Hey how did you guys get this before EA could even post it on there own?
I go to the Ea download section where people can get the patches and patch v1.21 isnt there.

[NateDawg=US=]

This is why I've grown to be ****ed at the Battlefield community. Everyone is so greedy and want more and more and more. For you whiners out there, why don't you go get a freakin computer science degree and go get a job at DICE and make the fricken patch. Do you realize that these are people that are doing jobs and you treat them like crap for absolutely no reason? They told us that this patch would be small and I say it's pretty good for only being 2 weeks. So if you're going to whine about it then stop playing the game. It seems to me that you think it is unbearably bad so you better just stop hanging around in a forum which goal is to talk about the game you so strongly hate.

[E641]

Well, I installed the patch and was using the shoulder fired rocket and had a buggy riding straight toward me and I fired and it went right threw it and did NOT explode and of course I got ran down!!

[mindzeye]

This happened to me in the past a few times...well before any patches, so I doubt it's a bug particular to this release.

Wtf, I tried BF2s twice and Filecloud three times and my download keeps freezing.


Can anyone help me out?

[imported_Knight_Yellow]

Id just be happy if there was a stricter enforcement of the age certificates for games.

Not becuase i think it curropts todays youth....

But becuase as soon as something ingame happens its a BUG, its never their crappy net connection or some random glitch, or their 3 year old gfx card.

oh no.... god forbid somebody would just realise that patching a game is not as simple as typing in a new line of code and voila....

i may be hoping for too much though.

Maybe someday far from now we will be able to filter games servers by players age.... let the teens fight their battles whilst the rest of us have some GG's (ive got a cheek to say this though since i was only 20 in Nov.... but f*ck it, point stands)

[MarkHawk]

Some valid points and some silly bitching (you're allowed to say ***** btw). In all honesty though, even I'm starting to get tired of the mistakes. BF2 is by far the best game that there is, and in that aspect we should give them the benefit of the doubt that the code is super complex and just amazingly hard to fix after it's already been released. And I'm okay with that; personally.

Their explainations make sense. If you try to fix one thing, you might ruin 10 other things. I haven't been here since the release, so I can't say what's been fixed, nerfed or ruined. My fps dropped from about 90 to about 80 with this patch , but my computer has been screwing up lately so it's probably that, not the patch.

If what I stated as being the remains of the Red Blue bug are all there are, then it's simply an exploit that helps out medics on the opposing team. In the active field, it won't be that much of an exploit. It's more confusing than helpful, and I wasn't able to revive the other team's players.

I support EA, and I give that support based on the fact that they have a presence here. They obviously care. Any fool with a mind for buisness knows that every "bad" patch hurts them. Not only does it tarnish their image, but it also hurts their wallet. Since 1.2 didn't live up to it's name, and 1.21 didn't live up to it's name (even before it was released), even less people will buy Euro Force than planned to. They are a buisness, and that hurts them.

Everyone thinks that fixing things is easy. They like to think that EA is a bunch of idiots. But that runs against every model of personal and corporate buisness , if you know how the figures you're looking at work.

A standard home buisness is expected to be in the red for over a year before turning a profit. A corporate buisness is only aplified in that aspect. When you add in how many employees they have, how much the DICE buyout cost, and the limited input of money from shareholders and game players (especially when things turn out as bad as they have been lately for EA/DICE) you'll see that the only explaination is that, unfortunately BF2 is pretty much at where it's at. There'll only be small fixes from this point forward. Waiting for the holy grail of patches is just going to waste your time and patience, and make you anti-EA, which is silly, because it's quite obvious that the next battlefield game will rockem and sockem. Do you really think they haven't learned bigtime from this?

In the end though, it's all in the player, and about half of hte players will always complain regardless of the gamepay and bugs introduced. Like I said in another thread, I'll put money on the bet that no one, team or person alone, can put out a mod that's basically a community released patch that makes BF2 the perfect game everyone thinks it should be. If you do so, you'll not only get a cash prize from me, but you'll win over the entire community of a couple dozen thousand large, and either you'll be bought out by EA for hundreds of thousands of dollars, or put them out of buisness. How about that for a dare?


Our mod is going fairly successful. I think we have a real chance at bringing a good amount of players back online to see that the modding community is making a difference and that even on a budget of zero, good things can happen.

What makes things hard is lack of community support sometimes. While I know .1 of USI wont please everyone, I do think players will start to want to give us feedback, tell us what sucks and what rocks, feel like there envolved. I am not saying we will baby everyone who crys but wil build apon ideas, which is what making a game is. Thinking then building. What to build off of and how to make you go back to step one which is thinking, which is fun. Games that make you think are fun. I liked BF2 when it first came out. Things were challanging. Now everyone knows the exploits and the most challanging part is finding a good game.

So ya, I have faith in EA and Dice. (Dice a little more though) I really think Dice though should really just support the Modding community from here on out. Give acknowledgement for mods that are just starting and well on there way to being released. It seems cheaper and the public greatly supports mods, EA might not see a dime but we won't take any dimes. You sell More copies of Bf2, people like the mods, tell a friend or student, and things build on from there.

I want a certificate... from EA/Dice to many mods each month that says "We Love where you are taking our ideas. Continue toThink Build and we will continue to support. Love your Fav Developer ... Dice"

Bungie is good at that, That's why I would always feell at home in a Bungie community. I ant to feel at home here...

This turned into my first blog ... creppy.

i donno bout other ppl but for me, only about 10-15 servers i am able to play, others when i try to enter says i have a newer version. im guessing most servers havent updated yet but im worried when all of the official EA servers r still running on 1.2...can someone reassure me plz?

(edit) just found a topic in relation to my question. thx anyways

[squeak]

yea most servers are prob waiting for the official release which should be tomorrow

[imported_Lucky-Strike90]

Oh man...why did I download it!! I CNT PLAY MY FAV SERVER FOR 2nite!!! oh well FIFA 2006...here i come...

[ConscriptVirus]

w00t im dling at like 200kb/s (which is pretty fast)

[Sir. Akland]

No noticable difference, the only thing i cared about was the print screen thing and that it is worse than before!!!!!

[DakotaDoc64]

Hmm...I just played on a ranked v1.21 server. I don't know what some of you are going on about...

Well, our Ranked server provider as of about 10 min ago still had not recieved the BF2 ranked server files for this hotfix. I even saw this on EA's web site.

EAUK_Protagonist
The patch is legitimate, however it is not scheduled for release until tomorrow, so there's a high probability you won't find many/any servers to play on until then.

[machstem]

I just got done playing approx. 2hrs of 1.21...this is by far the worst patch ever released.

I'm not sure if my problem was the bad luck of playing on 10 different servers, all with serious lag and performance issues.

They obviously never touched to fix the audio bug where you can't hear the enemy's gun fire. The AT rockets act a little better now. The AA locks on a little differently it seems as well.

We confirmed, once again, the red/blue name tag bug.

Again, why would they release something this quickly. It's NOT FINISHED, DON'T RELEASE IT!!!!!

So, I guess I will wait for POE2 to have its release before I enjoy playing this game.

I will try and play tomorrow, hopefully there will be more than European servers running by then.

PEACE

[junio]

finally! :)

[kevin_d]

maybe some wouldnt b so excited if ea released the official fix list for 1.21(unless there was i didnt know about)prior to releasing, working around the clock for the last 2 weeks and thats all they could do?? im no developer or w/e those guys are called but i dont think it would take much to fix those problems??? and i agree with those who say DONT RELEASE IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED. i wont be happy untill i see a 1.22 fix list of atleast 89787897987 fixes:laugh:

[Larva]

Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other sync issues.
I'm hoping this fixes a wide array of wierd things I've seen and heard since 1.2 came out.

It's probably a good thing that they spent some real time on only a few fixes. If they try to do too much to quick, you'll just get the ugly son of the 1.2 fiascal, with more bugs than fixes. Coding & testing takes time, and you can blame the management for over-working the developers to push the 1.2 release out like they did. Management is usually the cuplrit, with the developers getting all the blame.

[yeaimcalm]

Can we stop all the bit-ching until Euro Forces comes out - Maybe some of the fixes are in that release...

[Xantos]

What about Special Forces maps? Have they been fixed?

[javadog]

i didnt read all the way through this thread, but you can forgo those F'n LAME www file downloaders and go directly to the source.


pull up your ftp client

go to

largedownloads.ea.com

anon login and pw

in PUB--->Patches you will find ALL patches.

sort by date/time stamp and pull your file from the source at blazing speed, and forget having to give those lame www file management sites your blood or first born child in order to pull a file.

Man this patch is laggy, on some of my favorite server my ping is 300 and most people have 100+. Not just me but clanmates also have lagg

[-ChiCken]

This patch was smaller than i thought it would be.

[Torres[31stMEU]]

Wow this fixes are lame, what a waste of a patch.

[TVR_Fan]

Thanks EA for screwing my PC up again, i now have a completly white screen, thank the lord for Alt-Tab!

Domo-KunDid you download the small version or the full version, I would say if people want maybe the best results at times then download the full 350MB patch.

[Metalbolt]

I'm having to download the full patch, the stupid incramental told me that I didn't have 1.2 installed, and would not install... that's news to me!

[imported_Swagman49]

:mad:
What have you done 2 the claymores ???????
Now I have heaps of T/Kills plus killing myself.

[imported_Noxiv]

What is fun to read is people asking if it's official when i downloaded directly from EA.COM, is that so hard to realise that EA.COM is an ELECTRONIC ARTS official DOMAIN NAME and if the file is there it's because is official ?

The other fun thing is all the lame complains about the game and the patches.
Everybody says bad things about Microsoft and Windows but all of you use the Microsoft products, why ? Because Uncle Bill did a damn easy sh*t to use, it have some bugs, yeah, like persons nothing is perfect. Battlefield 2 is the same, ffs, is the most played Firts Person Shooter of all time, the BF2 servers are all in the top10 Game-Monitor servers list. I played Quake and Urban Terror (Q3A Mod) and the bugs are regular things in games, that's why ID Sofware release a lot of point releases. It's not a Problem of EA, it's a problem of all Software Houses, because games are done by HUMANS, and we are not perfect, IS THAT SO DAMN HARD ?

Play and have fun, and don't complain so much... JUST PLAY THE FU**ING GAME!!

In real life wars, a gun hangs sometimes, so, let's release a new way to kill, let's stop using guns (they hang sometimes)... let's kill with the great and powerfull "woodstick" again, because they don't have those stupid bugs... GEEZ

[Spuddy]

Well downloaded, patched, off to try it out. I'm not expecting much, afterall it's only a hotfix. :)

[bloodie73]

Didnt notice one thing the patch fixed.....though its good news that DICE is taking small steps in fixing all of the bugs, if they took on all of it at once....who knows what could've happened.

[britishbornazn]

eh, i dl-ed but i only had time for like 1 round.
haven't noticed any bugs... yet.
i think i saw Talus playing in the the server i was too
hehe...

[LOGAN]

DONT RELEASE IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED. i wont be happy untill i see a 1.22 fix list of atleast 89787897987 fixes:laugh:1.21 is a hot fix genius, seems to me people just search for stuff to get upset about.

[imported_GR|M|IN]

Dice should release one patch every other week, one problem at a time LoL maybe that will work

[imported_DANK]

I hate to say this but maybe they need to look at Valve and see what they are doing with Steam to stream applications/games to the user.
High levels of bandwidth and some nasty bugs in the beginning; but all patches were applied in real time and they could even stop the spread of a patch if a bug was discovered and do a rollback. Introducing that now might not be the best thing though.

[Nothing1]

Stop whining everyone... Can u guys be more mature at things like this...

Come on.... EA/DICE are trying their best to fix it... Just relax n enjoy the game...

Dont post idiotic things ....Use ur brain.... Ur complain will never be useful unless you do it properly like post the problem in EA/DICE Thread...

Well...cheers :D

[darkviper039483]

I hate to say it, But I am thoroughly disappointed with the new patch...I downloaded it, installed it and tried playing on 5 or 6 servers out of the 14 or 15 that were listed, all of them were laggier then ever even with 5 or 6 people playing, one server kept giving me a "there is a problem with your connection" error as soon as i entered, even before the kit menu loaded and booted me out of the server...I may revert to 1.2 :cry:

[Bangalter]

No lag for me. why should it add more lag?

It's prolly server side issues when people are uppgrading their servers.

[Wreck0]

Think again...

84.244.131.123:16567

[AmiPolizeiFunk]

Well I'm glad they fixed some of the major issues. Broken maps and a broken battlerecorder are pretty serious bugs. So I'm thankful about that.

But what do you guys think of the new AA and G-to-A setup? Seems they didn't do any coding at all, and just reverted to pre-1.2-patch. I sat on various IGLAs on Oman, with skies full of targets, and couldn't kill a derned thing. Too bad they can't find a happy medium.

Dude, Im sure EA/Dice have enough money to higher expert people to make these patches, there is no excuse for how the lag takes over the game on most PC's no matter what speed. Im just wondering, they should know that we can wait for patches as long as they're useful. I, myself have not seen any bugs, but the major lag I get on all servers made me forget what was wrong with the game on release.

[smedberg]

Yeah, agree on all that specially the AA. I was liking the 1.2 patch in that reguard. At least you could do something about the air whoring. Back to camping the planes eh... :)

Exactly. All this comes to one thing, money. More resources/staff would get these bugs fixed faster... really simple if you ask me. Its just that they think this is "good enough" which BS.

This sounds like the high level manager point of view.
The truth is that 9 mothers will not deliver a baby in 1 month!
You can’t hire more people to patch something that they didn’t create.

I think that the key issue is the quality of the patches – hire more testers DICE!

tell me they have not toned down the AA again? i liked it you could actually hit stuff. So its back to no brains heli pilots again is it!

[Dethroned]

Fixed the issue with Pixel Shader 1.4 video cards

I truly hope that fixed crashes which happened time to time... If so, that's the best thing ever that happened to this game. :)

[Rob_Snuff]

I love the amazing way EA have coded the game to make some materials now possible to penetrate ... mainly the way my AT rockets now fly straight through Tanks and do no damage.

War is bad so it is much more fun running around unable to do damage, maybe they should introduce a new class, the "Tree Hugger".

This new class could carry a few incense sticks, wear a tie dyed uniform and go prone with a blunt for rounds at a time......

[Hellboy660]

I really wish people will stop moaning about what the patch does or does not fix.

Hell if Microsoft hotfix XP and 2003 server EVERYDAY stop whining about a game that in my mind is far more complex than the OS it runs on, think about it, take a 64 player map, how complex it must be for the server software and client software to sync up all those players and deal with multiple unknown Broadband connections via a multitude of ISPs across the planet. ITsNOT LIKE BROWSING A WEBSITE!

EA/DICE have given us a good product, it might not be perfect or never will be (has any MS OS - NO!) what they have given us is hours of fun and great gameplay, great graphics and realism, the ablity to jump in choppers and planes as well as run around in squads and blow the crap out of eachother.
Imagin this sort of game that allowed all this and the complexaty and map sizes, in 1996 this was a pipe dream, yeah we had Quake and Unreal - which were great multiplayers but far from perfect and no where near as complex or large.

I for one love BF2 even if it can be buggy and laggy if you step back and see what goes into it, the fact that 9 games out of 10 are lag free and play great for me more than make up for the fact that 1 game might be laggy (which is more than likley down to my ISP)

Im happy.

:D

[Talus]

can some1 plzz tell me where i can get patch 1.2
on EA site i cant download
and i need 1.2 to instal 1.21 right:)

They pulled the v1.2 files last night as soon as the v1.21 files were uploaded to their FTP servers (although many people couldn't see them).

Seeing as how you don't have v1.2, then download the FULL v1.21 patch instead.

ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patches/bf2_patch_1.21.exe

Save yourself from patching twice ;)

And for the red tag bug..I never saw it at all last night when I was playing, but I'm going to guess the v1.2 audio and AT rocket misfire bugs were likely related to the changes they made to try and decrease the red name bug...so maybe they reversed those changes in v1.21.

And here's a prime example of EA's target customer base, people who dont give two hoots about the quality of service or gameplay. They just LOVE the pretty graphics and not much else.

Windows XP is nigh bullet proof, MS release hotfixes that actually work, and NO BF2 is nothing like as complex as an operating system.

Sweet jesus... With these kinds of comments you can see why EA/DICE are misguided sometimes.

Although that's no excuse for BF2's current condition.

[Woodlander]

Exactly. All this comes to one thing, money. More resources/staff would get these bugs fixed faster... really simple if you ask me. Its just that they think this is "good enough" which BS.Why is it that some think in terms of the more people that fix the problems the less time it takes to fix. A small example. You have a coding problem (a bug maybe) that you estimate should take 100 man hours to fix. Well that's great we hire 100 coders and fix the problem in just one hour. Let's go on, hire 200 and we're all done in half an hour.

Give the guys a break!

[Hellboy660]

NO you need to rethink what goes on in the background of the game physics.

Nothing to do with pretty graphics, i think the game is solid, gives me over 160hours and counting of fun play.

Im a network engineer/installation engineer 10 years in the job, MCSE qualified, CCNA. XP and 2003 are FAR from perfect! I think BF2s technology as a game is fantastic in what it allows us to do.

If I am one of "EAs Target based cutomers" then great, Im having fun and so are most players of the game.

No amount of bitching on this site makes any difference to how many bugs are fixed, most people seem to be just full of negative comments all the time.
So what its not perfect, I have paid £50 for BF2 and Special forces - whats £50? for months of fun, I have mates that shove £££ up there noses every weekend and have nothing but hangovers and comedowns.
Step back and take a look, if you really think its so bad, then stop playing.
If you stop playing and more people stop playing and complain then maby they will take more notice, but if you carry on playing then all negative comments are just hypocritical as your making no difference other that spouting off your mouth.

Erm... no.

If they did hire a programmer per issue, the game could realistically be fixed in a matter of days.
They wouldnt even need to hire testers, they could easily contact a high profile clan.
There reallly are few excuses for their quality of aftersales support, that's why you never see them apologising with explanations of what went wrong - because they just arent giving it priority or budget.

The life and soul of battlefield has been totally lost in a huge corporate monster.

Anyone else fancy trying America's Army???

You make some very good points, I cant deny that, but I guess the main reason I'm sooo frustrated is because like you say - the game engine is brilliant, is deserved of the awards it has to it's name... but....

It's so close to being so much more...

I'm guessing you never played 1942 or the mod that inspired BF2 - Desert Combat???

If it had half the fun factor & skill requirements that DC had it'd be just amazing.

Is that MR2 turbo charged by the way?
I've 'charged a mazda Mx5 - 230ish bhp! :D

What is fun to read is people asking if it's official when i downloaded directly from EA.COM, is that so hard to realise that EA.COM is an ELECTRONIC ARTS official DOMAIN NAME and if the file is there it's because is official ?

The other fun thing is all the lame complains about the game and the patches.
Everybody says bad things about Microsoft and Windows but all of you use the Microsoft products, why ? Because Uncle Bill did a damn easy sh*t to use, it have some bugs, yeah, like persons nothing is perfect. Battlefield 2 is the same, ffs, is the most played Firts Person Shooter of all time, the BF2 servers are all in the top10 Game-Monitor servers list. I played Quake and Urban Terror (Q3A Mod) and the bugs are regular things in games, that's why ID Sofware release a lot of point releases. It's not a Problem of EA, it's a problem of all Software Houses, because games are done by HUMANS, and we are not perfect, IS THAT SO DAMN HARD ?

Play and have fun, and don't complain so much... JUST PLAY THE FU**ING GAME!!

In real life wars, a gun hangs sometimes, so, let's release a new way to kill, let's stop using guns (they hang sometimes)... let's kill with the great and powerfull "woodstick" again, because they don't have those stupid bugs... GEEZ

I don't even know where to begin..

First off it is our right to complain about the actual bugs in this game. I paid 70$ for this game, it better as hell work.

Second of all, if the patches didn't screw anything up, rather they fix things, then maybe the gamers would JUST PLAY THE F-ING GAME...

Read up on the issues before you post nonsense. I still don't agree that they should have touched any of the "balance" issues until all the bugs had been worked out (through extensive patch testing) but it's too late now, and from what I've gathered is another extent of DICE and EA's pressure to release the patch before it should be.

PEACE

[-[gnw]- bumblino]

I agree it can be better (and no doubt will eventually will) Im sure BF1942 was moaned about when it was new and a few years on am I right in thinking its nearly there to being bang on?
Ive not played either(cant find 1942 for sale no more :( )

I think everone should just get on the servers and have fun and what will be will be.

Re MR2.
Yeah its a turbo :D only 250HPish@the wheels, but fast enough :D The car in front is a Toyota as they say ;)
I saw some MX5 Turbo conversions the other day , very sweet. :D:rock:

Install the latest build of Desert Combat (0.8, also known as 'Final')

Even boggo standard 1942, jump into a server with the original Wake Island map, and just sail around the skies in P52...

Dude, just curious, where abouts do you live?

You paid 70$ for the game and the game works, it's not a piece of crap that you have gaining dust.
Second, i don't see a major screw, i can kill, i can score, i can own you if you want, maybe you need to learn how to play the game ?!?!?

And if you think that the kits were balanced you should think about C4 whoring and other ways to score, maybe you are one of those players that don't like to do a sh*t and just play for the easy score because you are not skilled enough for more.

The kits now are more balanced then in the past, the correction in the claymores was fair, i saw a lot of servers with half of teams as snipers droping claymores. It's not wrong, since the game allowed you to do that, but it's not balanced, so now you can only drop 2.

So what i have to tell to guys like you is, play for more hours and get more skill, stop being noob.

And there is always a second option, if you don't like the game just sell your copy and stop playing.

[subzero nautica]

huh? ARE U KIDDING ME? are those all the errors that have been fixed?
there are like 10+ more problems...
13mb...
waited 2weeks for this piece of s..t.
Nice job EA/DICE... patch 1.22 coming soon...


OH MY GOD!

IF THESE ARE THE ONLY FIXES THEN I WILL BE ****ED OFF AT EA, THOSE LAZY FAT B@$T@RD$

[Augustus]

I really wish people will stop moaning about what the patch does or does not fix.

Hell if Microsoft hotfix XP and 2003 server EVERYDAY stop whining about a game that in my mind is far more complex than the OS it runs on, think about it, take a 64 player map, how complex it must be for the server software and client software to sync up all those players and deal with multiple unknown Broadband connections via a multitude of ISPs across the planet. ITsNOT LIKE BROWSING A WEBSITE!

EA/DICE have given us a good product, it might not be perfect or never will be (has any MS OS - NO!) what they have given us is hours of fun and great gameplay, great graphics and realism, the ablity to jump in choppers and planes as well as run around in squads and blow the crap out of eachother.
Imagin this sort of game that allowed all this and the complexaty and map sizes, in 1996 this was a pipe dream, yeah we had Quake and Unreal - which were great multiplayers but far from perfect and no where near as complex or large.

I for one love BF2 even if it can be buggy and laggy if you step back and see what goes into it, the fact that 9 games out of 10 are lag free and play great for me more than make up for the fact that 1 game might be laggy (which is more than likley down to my ISP)

Im happy.

:D


You sould like a corporate plant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill


A shill is an associate of a person selling goods or services, who pretends no association to the seller and assumes the air of an enthusiastic customer. The intention of the shill is, using crowd psychology, to encourage other potential customers, unaware of the set-up, to purchase said goods or services. Shills are often employed by confidence artists.




If dice have their developers posting here, I have no doubt EA has Shills working here.

[subzero nautica]

And there is always a second option, if you don't like the game just sell your copy and stop playing.


I would but the resale value of BF2 is falling in prices quickly cause nobody is buying it after this b$.

We all waited patiently, some of us impatiently, for several weeks, waiting for BF2 to fix over 30 flaws with the 1.2 rev.

They delayed the release of Euroforce because of these major flaws.

After all this waiting they finally release rev 1.21 with only a few of those flaws fixed.

That is pure laziness!

If EA and DICE thought people were upset with 1.2 problems. Well they are going to riot with waiting all this time for 1.21 and then most of these errors not being fixed.

Thats what everyone is saying..

Personally, i liked the 1.2 changes with claymore and all that other stuff.

But, I HATE BUGS CAUSED FROM TERRIBLE PROGRAMMERS!

Like Red and Blue name tags!

Check my BF2 profile and you will see i have about 14 team kills since i bought the game when it first came out.

Well 9 of those team kills were recent, from me shooting a red name tag player that happened to be on my team,

[subzero nautica]

Exactly. All this comes to one thing, money. More resources/staff would get these bugs fixed faster... really simple if you ask me. Its just that they think this is "good enough" which BS.


Maybe they should have outsourced this project to India?

Instead of paying american programmers $80k to design a program flawed with bugs, they could have paid $6k for a programmer who designs a product without flaws. :laugh:

[Bushers]

FFs, there really are some retarded people here.

Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other sync issues.


This is a major fix and i for one would have been happy with this being the only one. Theres nothing worse than not hitting what you see, probably the AT issues and alot of others are sorted within this statement... Geeez, some of you need a brain..

[SirCyRo]

Need I remind you guys of the definition of icremental updates?

This patch is numbered 1.21. That means, from 1.2 to 1.21 its a .01 update. Simple math I guess. But what that really means is that its a pretty minor update. When looking at version numbers of things, the farther along the number is to the right, the least amount of changes were made. So, a 1.21001 patch would have very very little changes. The closer you get to the decimal point, the more massive the change in a program. So, if the patch were to go from 1.21 to 1.3, I'd expect some large changes. If the patch were to go to 2.0, which I doubt it ever will, then that woudl be a major upgrade.

A lot fo you guys are expecting this 1.21 to fix a lot of the long running issues. Its only a hotfix for the 1.2 patch. Most of those bugs mentioned won't be fixed until 1.3, or 1.4. You'll just have to be patient.

[Bushers]

[BearAteMe]

Maybe they should have outsourced this project to India?

Instead of paying american programmers $80k to design a program flawed with bugs, they could have paid $6k for a programmer who designs a product without flaws. :laugh:

You obviously have no idea what a negative impact outsourcing has on project quality. Years ago coders from India were an excellent investment and many of them led to full-time positions and visas in the US. However to meet demand India now seems to be slapping kids through school and calling them code experts. I work on several projects involving outsourced code and most of it needs to be fixed.
Get a handle on real life man. Fixing code after the fact is one of the hardest things a coder can do. Especially if it is code they did not design themselves and if the original coder did not leave behind a good schema you're SOL.

I'm not saying the product or the company are perfect but saying that with a few good coders would fix this in a few days is just naive.

*PC disclaimer: I do not in general have a problem with coders from India this is solely based on personal experience with several on-going outsourced code for various projects. In the past we had great success doing so but in the past year or two there has been a steady decline with outsourcing we have been dealing with.

[pilotage007]

after installing the update, has anyone had a problem with getting back into BF2? i have a missing DLL file now. can't figure out what the prob is. its the RendDX.DLL file that is missing.

thanks for your help guys

[mr_o]

why is it that if someone is un-happy with the game , and gives examples to back up this opinion, they are whinging? other developers have set a precedent for updating and supporting the communities that spawn around their product. If EA/Dice cant rise to this challenge then they are going to come under flak. And its a shame as 42 was a good game, the mods that came out for it took it to a new level and BF2 began a brand new level of game. v1 wasnt that out from being a good game. 1.12. was even closer. All it needed was tweaked and a bit of new content, free content mind so that the WHOLE community can adopt it, and it would have been still a great game to many who dont find it so now.

If you like it as it is now enjoy it. But i, along with more than a fair number dont like it as it is and personally Im hoping that the mod community, such as USI, will give me some use out of BF2 before a new usurper to the crown comes along ie: ET:QW

[urban//mercenary]

I'm downloading the patch now.. am curious what differences will have been made. I'm looking forward to the reduced claymores.. they've been a real pain the last couple weeks.

to the community... you need to differentiate what Dice promised and what you expected. They fulfilled their promise to the letter. They claimed they were going to fix major problems before releasing Euro Forces. They meant "show-stopping" problems. Like unplayable games on major production graphics cards. They wouldnt delay release of a product because the community doesnt like how accurate the pkm is. Give them some credit. Hopefully after Euro Forces is released, they all go have a beer at the pub, they'll come back and address some of these nagging issues. Be patient.

[adambaum]

I got the patch from the ea site, but now for the first time i get stuck in the "connecting to account server screen, and have to hit the f'in reset button on my case after like ten mins.:confused:

i hate it when a new patch comes out and your favorite rooms use it:wall: because downloading a patch from the EA takes about 3 hours on my computer :wall: but i have to download it or else i am "Special FORCED";) to seek new rooms :mad: so now i am downloading i have now downloaded 12% so now i have to wait 2 hours and 45 minutes before i can play Battlfield 2 again. and i also have to install special forces (and believe me installing a game on your computer is allways asking for trouble) i have never succeeded installing a game without any kind of a problem. Well now i am lying, The dos games i installed without any problems:p this is al little offtopic if it is to much delete it then:p
Well good luck downloading the patch;)

[Hellboy660]

Installed the patch last night.

BF2 runs smoother, no more jerking as you join the map, and graphics seem alot smoother at 1024x768.

Happy :D

[5150 Joker]

This is why I've grown to be ****ed at the Battlefield community. Everyone is so greedy and want more and more and more. For you whiners out there, why don't you go get a freakin computer science degree and go get a job at DICE and make the fricken patch. Do you realize that these are people that are doing jobs and you treat them like crap for absolutely no reason? They told us that this patch would be small and I say it's pretty good for only being 2 weeks. So if you're going to whine about it then stop playing the game. It seems to me that you think it is unbearably bad so you better just stop hanging around in a forum which goal is to talk about the game you so strongly hate.

You think DICE is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts? They are making millions of dollars off this game, THEY NEED TO FIX THE DAMN THING!

[Bushers]

Well, after several hours gaming last night, im still getting the sync issues introduced with 1.2. Pretty dissapointed with this, im hoping that a reboot after is got done last night is gonna help..!! lol

[||Animal||]

So far the patch is OK for me...I did notice a lighting issue that annoyed me...there was a block of light in a hallway after someone used a tear gas grenade...Basically, it looked like a square area where the smoke and light didn't fill properly...this wasn't happening before the patch. In an effort to fix the game for lesser graphics cards, they caused an issue with my X1900 xtx... Oh well, the game still plays fine for me...

[JamesOWS6]

Having problems with the patch. I installed the full patch four times and the incremental twice. All following a restart. I can't play any of my servers in my favs list, they are all red. At the top right of my screen it says 1.1.2696-528.0 is that my version number which would imply that I never updated? This is killin me. Please help, i can't waste another night NOT playing...

[adambaum]

after installing the incremental patch (1.2 to 1.21) I get stuck at the "login to account server" screen, and have to use the reset button on my tower.

Should I remove the patch, and re install the full one or what.

Does anyone know what the best step to take would be, thx.

[miraz]

Well the patch worked good for me I was worried i may have some problems installing after seeing some posts but now im gonna play it and see how it is in-game.

No need to worry ppl, it was my zone alarm, it was working before the patch, so i checked out the settings and the "server settings": "trusted and internet" were on the (blue) ask option, I just put them to (green checkmark) the "allow" under program control and then it connected in a few seconds.

What options do other people who use zone alarm have (ie: all four options under program control set to allow or not?) any feedback would be appreciated.
bye for now, the baumer:)

[Pilo-II]

My ZA is set on 'Ask' - I was asked what I wanted to do, allow or decline, after I installed the patch and ran the game...

[adambaum]

mine was like that b4 the patch, but I was getting stuck at the "logon to account server" stage with the BF2 "2" just spinning and spinning.
I guess it was asking me but the "popup bubble" that I needed to hit allow on was hidden below the BF2 window.

Any one else have any input as well?

[Jaxx]

Hummm seems ok to me so far... nothing too wierd that isn't normal for an EA patch. Then again saying EA, Patch, and normal in one sentence is against humanity LMAO!

[urban//mercenary]

I noticed smoother graphics especially on Kubra Dam. Maybe it was just me. Anyway, the bad news is, I've crashed 3x more often than usual. 6 times in one day, all related to VOIP. Randomly (so far it seems) when using the VOIP in game, it will freeze and create an awful high pitched sound and then loop the last second of audio, until I cant take any more and reset. Am updating my Audigy drivers (kind of surprised there was an update :D )... see how it goes..

[Mosstrooper]

You think DICE is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts? They are making millions of dollars off this game, THEY NEED TO FIX THE DAMN THING!

I'll say again, i couldnt play the damn game with 1.2 and now i can thanks to 1.21. As far as i'm concered, they fixed the damn game. The gameplay is not that much different. Stop ****ing whining. If you hate EA/DICE so much then just don't buy the damn games!

[MaD-JaK]

can u please tell me the best link so i get my ture dl speed when donloading it from the bf2 site i get 20kbs i want 120kbs :D

[denali333]

Wow, I played for about 5 hours straight last night. All SF maps. Not one time did I crash to desktop. Not one time did I have terrible graphics while sniping the tv station on warlord. Only once did my sniper sight go in and out while not pushing any buttons. I have to say that if I can repeat this again they will have done a terrific job on this patch and I give them mass amounts of props. Now if I could figure out how to plop a .50 cal into one of those armoured carriers or AA tanks I would be happy (lol).

[Mosstrooper]

Well, after several hours gaming last night, im still getting the sync issues introduced with 1.2. Pretty dissapointed with this, im hoping that a reboot after is got done last night is gonna help..!! lol

My lag is less than 1.12

[Ashaman_Jay]

Played for 4 hours today. No glitches, no bugs, A little quicker on loading and no stuttering frames at the start or the rounds.

Not that I saw many bugs before :) Started playing at beginning of january and I've seen the red/blue bug once and 2 anti-tank rockets fly through targets.

[silverdust1925]

not sure if it's just me, i did an uninstall n install of bf2 n sf before installing a full 1.21. In single player, the graphics is better than before. But it lags like no tomorrow on pubs. I had this bad feeling it would lag in game when i saw the counter in servers browser increased slowly.

repeating uninstall n install again, hopes it helps.

[y2kh8r]

Bah . The last patch really bummed me out . I don't want to have to reinstall BF2 again if this 'hotfix' puts my BF2 'out cold' .


I'm sticking to BF2 "out of the box" version . I can't get online with BF2 anyway . I think it doesn't like my hub/router/firewall or something .This really kills the replayability of the game , since I have no hope of unlocking anything .Kinda sucks , cause I'd Like to unlock some weaponry .


I think that they should have concentrated on the single player aspect of this game a lot more . I also think it should have shipped with more than 10-12 maps .


I feel somewhat let down by this game . Especially since I can't play online at all , and the single player campaign can be beaten so quickly.


Please excuse my whining .


/goes and eats some cheese.

[Karate hand]

this patch seems pretty good for, me i see a few bugs fixed, thats great, i hope they get the rest done, one day,

for the guy who dont play online u can incease your tickets so ur game will last alot longer, ie by default it set to 200 ie 100 each side,

heres the path to change it my documents/battlefield 2/profiles/serversettings.con----(open up the .con file with notepad and scroll down near the end to u see-----sv.ticketRatio 200----change it to this--sv.ticketRatio 600--- or what u like u can also change other ones use as spawn times etc, and then SAVE.

[y2kh8r]

Ha . Remember in BF1942 how you could change the tickets from whithin the game ? What a novel concept !

Thanks for the tip !

[Hairstylist]

hey, how come when I connected to the game yesterday - none of my unlocked weapons were choosable ?

[denali333]

hey, how come when I connected to the game yesterday - none of my unlocked weapons were choosable ?

I have seen this happen before also. Thought maybe it was server side or something. Then I got killed by one of my would be unlocks. I said hmmm, that's interesting and left that server. Had them in the next server and everyone since.

[Hairstylist]

ya, I dis- and connected to the same server - then the weapons were all back again....weird.

[==VERMEN==]

OMFG!! The new 1.21 patch killed my machine!!!!!! The instilation failed at 70% while unpacking user_objects.zip, my screen went white and completely hung my system. I now get a screen telling me my hard drive is bad and xp refuses to load. Thanks EA!

[coupofconinston]

Well well well, youd think they'd get it right after a year!

Installed patch and Have more bugs than before, RED / BLUE name tag issue is worse. 1st game I played with v1.21 a memeber of my squad ended up with a red name tag and I shot him up :P several times! (He was even on the opposing teams player list!)

Some freinds get kicked out every map change with a "You have modified your BF2 content error" but of course then can log right back in because their content wasn't bloody modified in the first place!!

The list goes on and on....

I think my Grandma could write a better patch in cross-stich.

If you do some searching you'll be able to locate a way in which to alter one of your files and unlock all your weapons for single player.
make sure to amke a copy of the file 1st and put it back if you ever go online though.

[y2kh8r]

Thanks ! I vaguely remember reading about that a looong time ago . . . 'course that's when I thought I might be able to get online with BF2. . .

It's now fairly obvious to me that I cannot get BF2 to go online , so I guess I'll do that. . .might just make the game more fun .


All I have to say is : come on , mods !

Oh yeah. . . you can get some single player stuff here :

http://battlefieldsingleplayer.planetbattlefield.gamespy. com/

Hope the moderators don't mind me posting a link here .. . I promise I'm not affiliated with them in any way . . .

Anywho , you can find some mods and single player maps there . . .some stuff you won't find on totalbf2 ...

*edit*

I finally broke down and tried the latest patch. . . .It works ! I figured that if it didin't work , I would just uninstall bf2 for good . . ..I'm glad that this will not be happening. . .once again , I say : Come on mods !

*edited again :

the website I had linked to has changed its' url . The link should work now ;)

[bakedbean2]

Hi

I downloaded the 1.21 patch and ran the .exe file. It seemed to have updated the software but when I go online the number of servers had dropped dramatically to almost about 24 instead of the hundreds, is there something I have missed?

cheers

For those of you with Euro Force, please ensure that you have Euro Force installed before applying the 1.22 patch. If you install Euro Force after the 1.22 patch you will need to patch again afterwards.
