actually BF2 Patch out now

I can't find a server that works. The first file I got was corrupt. Poop.

*edit* Actually got it from a link further down the first page of the BF2s forums link. 81.5MB's in just over four minutes for the incremental patch. Not bad....now to see how it plays. */edit*
 
I'm getting it now. Should be interesting to see how well the changes work.

I don't know what the problem is but now I get the same error I was getting when I was patching to 1.12, "memory doesn't seem sane" error.

I spent 3 days installing/uninstalling BF2 and BF2:SF countless times on both of my main machines. I finally got it to work by copying my brothers content directory to my machine.
Sometimes I wish BF2 was delivered and updated via STEAM!!!!, since I have had no issues with any of the games and updates done via STEAM.

have you tried running system stability checks? its quite possible that your memory or cpu are corrupt in some way
 
You could try redownloading it. Some people's patches were corrupt and re-dling it worked.

I haven't ran any stabilty checks, but I was getting the same exact error on 2 different machines, both run very stable, and my main machine is running at stock speeds again.
I am installing the large patch now and see how well that works. If I get the same error I'll just wait till my brother patches his and if his runs I'll copy his content directory again.
 
Some of the fixes do not make sense at all.

For example, "Reload while sprinting has been enabled" - how hard would it be in real life to be running full speed and reloading a gun???? Very hard.

Yet.....with the new patch you can no longer jump and shoot....which in real life wouldn't be hard to do at all.

reload while sprinting isn't too hard if you are just swapping magazines.

Shooting while jumping works well in the movies (John Woo uses this a lot in his films), but no one does it in the real world.
Imagine back in teh wild west when they are having thier little duels and they start jumping around trying to shoot each other.
 
cool patched it last night. from nzone.com way faster then the 7kb i was getting @ EA

I dont know about you but if I were being shot at in real life and I was turning tail, Id sure as hell get my gun reloaded while I was "strategically retreating."
 
Has anyone else noticed AF not working after installing this patch? I have it set to 16X in the driver but it doesn't seem to be applied in game. It worked great before the patch.
 
Hmm... the game seems a lot funner with the weaker aircrafts, good to know they won't always be around. And I love the new sniper gun L96A2, the accuracy so far has been improved by a whole lot.
 
I love the new sniper! I killed some guy took his kit and he had the new gun. Saw a guy up on a hill, didn't even take time to aim just zoomed and killed him in a second its awesome!

I love the weaker aircrafts, no more raping the aircraft carrier with planes.
