Community Update - 6/30/05
Update 1.01 Coming Soon
That's right, the first Battlefield 2 Update is coming your way very
soon. We've kept quiet about this update so far, but today we're going
to reveal the major fixes coming with the Update. The best part is,
every fix in this update is a result of Community feedback on the demo
and retail game release.
Fixes
-Fixed issues that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.
We've added some new functionality and buttons to the Multiplayer
Browser that make finding an open game of Battlefield 2 much, much
easier. Issues users have encountered involving zero ping servers or
browser hangs have all be addressed.
-Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be
rebound within the Options menu.
Some functions previously were not available to be rebound in the
Controls Options menus. These items have been added to make rebinding
of functions much easier.
-Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB
Users who rebind the Left Mouse Button to "Move forward" rejoice!
With these fixes and more, it should be much easier to get in to a
game of Battlefield 2 and that much easier to play it the way you want
to play it. Look for this update to be deployed into battle some time
next week!
Linux Server Build
Many of you have made us aware of issues with the previously released
retail Linux server (2442) in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments.
DICE has finished work on a replacement build and QA has been working
hard to validate something that we can release to the community. Our
goal is to get a fully operational version of the Linux server out to
the Community ASAP. Stay tuned to this spot for updates.
BF2 Editor Update
Those of you who have been watching this space over the last couple of
weeks are aware the BF2 Editor was intended to be released to the
Community by the end of June. While we feel we are on the homestretch
now in terms of being able to release a complete Battlefield 2 Mod
Development Toolkit, we will not be able to meet our previously stated
goal. At this time, we are committed to getting the Open Beta of the
Battlefield 2 Editor released some time in July. Stay tuned to this
space for more details.
Advanced Tactical Center for Battlefield 2 Releasing!
Tomorrow marks the initial release to the community of a tool built by
Foolish Entertainment especially for Battlefield 2 - the Advanced
Tactical Center for Battlefield 2. This easy to use tool allows your
clan to communicate tactics easily and evolve them together in real
time! There are also some new tools to the ATC like "zoom", "export
tactic" and a "Custom Map Wizard" that builds upon the already large
library of tools! Create and manage your squad before even joining a
server with ATC. For more information on ATC, visit

Have a greath 4th everybody!
