Well it was really indeed, EA who did the patch...

Proof: "However, this is all complicated by the fact that the DICE guys are on their (well-deserved) summer holiday and have to be called back to work."

Good job EA, going to be some bullshit if we have to reinstall back to 1.0

I think, in the absence of the Dev team, an EA employ merely opened the source code and preceded to hit the keyboard with his dick, compiling the result into a patch.

I think that you are correct. Or maybe they had hired two blind guys and told them the date the patch was needed to be ready and said... 123 GO!!!

 

[Foxtrot]

People are having problems with the patch? Perfect for me so far.

 

[Dalamari]

I have no trouble at all with the game except now my ping is hardly ever below 200 and I get dropped from 80% of the servers I join that are ranked.

 

[Gorgon]

verifying client data takes foreva!........................ this probelm is fooked up.

we need a fix..............it takes between 1.30 - 2 mins to verify my data...........

I hate waiting that long

 

[poseyjmac]

yeah that sucks. loading the actual data doesn't actually take very long. just verifying it does

 

[CyberPitz]

I've got no complaints, altough I'm not saying there can't be improvements

 

[bvasgm]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there are way more high ping servers now?

 

[CyberPitz]

I Don't remember beforehand, but there are alot of high pings...even though I join a 250 ping and have 60 ping on em.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there are way more high ping servers now?

Nonono, its just the server browser being a piece of shit. Tonight I just server, ping was 125 or so, got in, I had a ping of 50, yes 50!! The browser is unable to get real ping times now, its about as bad as that 0 ping server issue. The only thing I wish they'd fix is the damn pings showing, because at least before the patch the pings showed up correctly.

But yeah, what is up with that 0 ping stuff? It sucks cause i see a 1/2 full server, and go to jump on..and it can't connect, so I'm stuck.
And for some reason, sometimes when I try to join a server, BF2 locks up...it is still responding..but it won't go anywhere, and a "~e5.0001" is open in task manager, and I kill bf2, and that disappears. I'm so confused on it all D:

I am having just the oppisite luck, verifying client data takes atleast half the time that it was doing without the patch, so no complants there.

BUT, the EA US Official servers do not exist anymore and now i have to go into servers that have rediculasly high ping and its starting to take my stats to hell!

I cant use the filters because the server list would just go to 0 and i would have to restart the game completely, and countless others that i cant remember off the top of my head.

This is really the only patch that i remember that hurts you instead of helping. :frown:

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

From what I've been reading, the ~e5.xxxx is an EA files, and its run at the beginning of the game, nothing to worry about. It dissapears when you kill bf2 because it runs with bf2 and nothing else

HAHAHA! OMGWTFROFLMAOBBQ!

I stand corrected... THAT was the funniest thing I've ever heard!

 

[Razor]

I haven't had any problems at all, the patch has done nothing but improved my game immensely.

'Community Update - 7/8/05

HOTFIX for Battlefield 2 v1.01 Coming Soon
First off, a HUGE thanks to all of you who emailed me in regards to the memory leak found in the update we released earlier this week (v1.01). Your emails found their way to our production team and they’re in the process of evaluating what needs to be done in order to get this fixed. In the meantime, and since the 1.01 update is causing memory leakage on some systems, we recommend that you reinstall the game and NOT the v1.01 update we released earlier this week.

Reinstalling Battlefield 2 will not affect your in-game medals or ranked server statistics. EA and DICE are committed to getting a fix for v1.01 as soon as we possibly can and will continue to keep you informed through this web space in the coming days.

NOTE: If you installed and are running the newer server files (Win and Linux versions) we made available earlier this week, please revert those as well. We found that those files had the same issues with memory leaks as did the v1.01 update. You can download the older versions here.

[EA]Mike'

Personally, I'd rather wait for the fix. I'm yet to have a problem with the recent patch.

 

[15357]

me too. ^

 

[The Monkey]

What's wrong with the patch? It improved a lot of things.

 

[Lemonking]

foe me it works.

 

[bvasgm]

Same here. The only problem I've had so far is the filters still don't filter anything.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

I bet that all the servers revert though, this is bullshit, thank you EA for making me have to do a reinstall because you are too lazy to test certain things.

 

[Qonfused]

The new patch is shit. Read my topic I made.

 

[Vegeta897]

It's the servers that are suffering problems from the patch. They have memory leaks, and have to reset their servers every 4 hours or so. Many servers have already rolled back, (including mine) so you may as well reinstall. Very soon all of them will be 1.0 again. EA will release a GOOD patch in a week or so.

Yes EA is full of bastards.

 

[jimbo118]

i keep getting now kicked for 'an empty win32 module' via punkbuster, i've updated pb.

this never happened before the patch.

 

[Vegeta897]

Updating pb from the pb site is not what you want to do... Because all of the servers are running 1.0 and well, I get kicked because of that. You have to type pb_security 0 to let the server give you 1.0. I never had any problems after that. However, I'm not sure about your error jimbo. Never seen it.

i had the win32 prob with the demo but it fixed after awhile, full retail was fine, now its back with this patch.;(

You might try typing what I said in the console, it might download a fixed version and fix your problem.

 

[mortiz]

I've had troubles with this patch, as soon as a tried to join a server the other day the game crashed back to desktop. I haven't played since, and probably won't until EA release a proper patch.

 

[CyberPitz]

I think I'll keep my game patched...I'm not about to go through the CD's to reinstall, and I really don't want to find my BF2DVD on my HDD..and remount/reinstall, no...I'm fine.
