BF2 upcoming Patch

[SilverMane]

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

This has me interest peaked!!


Everything else is "meh". Maybe a new level or too would be nice

Fixing the browser is going to make life less frustrating. I hate wasting ten minutes finding servers that fill up in the time the browser lags. Good stuff.

ATC sounds interesting.

I guess the I can deal with the browser issues, because well I've never used a ingame browser that was actually good.

CS:S's in game browser, well more so Steam, is pretty damn good.

[SMA11]

yeah, it is

i find both bf games have ridiculously horrid browsers
sort by ping
omit full / empty
sort by players
never work...

bleh w/e
the patch should fix er up

[LoPo]

lol, I have none of the problems you described, I admit, it is pretty crappy, but I guess I'm patient because the game browser really doesn't impact my enjoyment of the actual game.

[slinki]

.....or we have become spoiled by a browser that actually works :P

I've grown accustomed to the CoD browser which takes all of 30 seconds to click on the desktop icon, find my best pinged server and 'BAM' I'm in and fraggin.
I'm not going to hold my breath on this browser fix either because it is an ongoing issue since BFV and we haven't seen a fix yet.

Either way, I'll continue to play the game because it is simply brilliant.

[Lt.J.G.Pliskin]

its actually an on going problem from BF1942, i get random crashes while looking through the browser, but its not enough to make me not play this KICK *** MOTHER ****ING GAME!

[SMA11]

ungh
i get random crashes when the round/game ends in bf2
very annoying
i don't think stats are saved when this happens

angers me
