Then I suggest you don't download the patch. Careful... EA might read your post and take your birthday away...
 
Pretty big patch for such a small change. They could have at least given us a new map since we have to download the whole patch file.
 
GAMEPLAY TWEAKS

- The vehicle drop has been modified to help prevent exploits such as blocking enemy vehicles, destroying vehicles and commander assets, or as an alternative to artillery.
- C4 tossing distance has been reduced.
- A prone->crouch delay has been added.

BUG FIXES

- Fixed the Linux server hangs when trying to load a Special Forces Co-Op map.
- Another attempt at fixing the Red/Blue nametag bug.
- Fixed the missing server info on the map briefing screen.
- Fixed the server browser issues with updating info.
- Fixed the filter by maps size option in the server browser.
- Fixed a low reproducibility crash bug related to the vehicle drop.
- Fixed a crash in Co-op after a player is revived without a kit.
- Fixed a server crash on Linux 32 when trying to rotate maps in Coop Mode.
- Fixed the occasionnal red distance marker appearing on the ground.
- Fixed the bug that caused the player's arms to become invisible when switching weapons.
- Co-Op bot console commands now function on local servers.
- Fixed the excessive damage taken by the Muscle Car.
- Adjusted the minimum number of players to start the round on ranked servers. The new values for 16, 32 and 64 players are 6, 8 and 8 respectively.
- Re-enabled unlocks on unranked servers.
- Commander options are no longer available whilst commander is dead.
- Fixed bug where a spawn point is shown as selected when it is not if player has spawned in during the preview round.
- Co-Op (Local Server) - Fixed the issue where no other players may join the server if the server host is kicked and banned.
- Ranked Servers now force unlocks.
- Added support for multiple gamemodes in single maplist for mods
 
Tyler - That's the 1.40 patch log.

The 1.41 only fixes the crash bug. They haven't released the incremental yet because of issues with it. Instead of delaying both patches they decided to release the full first since most users use the full anyway. (and BF2 has a habit of not liking the incremental patches)
 
there are now incrementals listed on the BF2 site. It's 140MB and even the EA servers are giving decent speeds.
They have also released notes on the patch and either they re-used a lot of the 1.4 notes or this patch actually fixed those issues.

btw I have never had any issues with incremental patches on either one of my computers I play on. Guess I'm lucky and probably just jinxed myself.

I installed it and then uninstalled because mods don't work with it yet.

Some do... some don't.
I'm currently running Sandbox, Sir.Mod, and N@W - Sandbox and Sir.Mod work with 1.41 and I've not been able to determine if N@W is going to be effected. I read that the PoE team is working on a patch for the patch... gotta love it.

500MB+ download for a server side fix? There's gotta be something else in there. The Dedicated server file isn't small either.

There isn't. lol All their full patches have increased in size with every release.
 
RE: the size of the patch

Please post any NEW problems that come up after installing the 1.41 patch. For those of you wondering why the patch is so big, there was a client-side issue which was contributing to server crashes which this patch addresses. The patch is a large one because it is the full patch rather than being incremental (which had an issue during testing meaning it had to be reworked) so rather than delay the entire patch prcoess to fix the incremental patch, the decision was taken to release the whole patch in one hit.

I've noticed that they have gotten bigger and bigger... Guess I'm just so used to the 1 MB patches in the days of yor. I do like that they have been releasing the server files as a complete update - I had nothing but problems in the past with incremental server updates.

Should be fun - I've been hearing of server crashes from this patch, so I'm holding off for a bit.

Or look 7 posts up in this very thread. lol :D

I realize that, but a number of people were still bitching about the size of the patch (I agree for the record) so I figured I'd throw out the exact wording of the EA rep and the source.

Good point - I should have quoted my source. (the EA UK forum and it's admin)
 
Downloaded and will install this weekend.
This patch felt like it came out of nowhere. Usually I read about it on totalBF a while before its release. This time I see this thread on H and go "Huh? There's a new patch? And it's already out?"
 
Yeah this one was a quiet one. One reason is that the patch only fixes one issue. Another reason is, of course, BF2142 is taking up most of EA's time. EA made a quiet announcement about 10 days ago mentioning they were working on this patch but that was it. Suddenly the patch just popped up. lol
 
They still need to fix bunny hopping and dolphin diveing.. and somehow it still seems like a guy can go from airborn to prone and snip me dead with a PKM from 50m in 3 rounds before i can pull my 9mill out.

Ill deal with all the stability bugs the game has, jsut fix the bunny hopping.. even if it means only 1 jump ever 3 secounds... do it... fuck!
 
Prone jumping with a PKM is the new hotness in BF2. For some reason, that weapon becomes mega accurate while diving.

yup i know it, its on my top 5 list of why i dont play anymore. too bad too, i jsut got my bars...
 
Installed it. Played it. Plays fine.

Yesterday, my regular server was updated, but there were zero people in it (normally full). I guess many haven't updated yet.
 
they are prolly in the same boat as i. trying to DL it and only getting <70k down....lame

also this does have a new map. Raod to Jalabad. it says that on their site.
 
i just went and checked it, you are right.. i swear that i read that on EA's site...
 
I have been such a BF2 !!!!!! in the past. Defending the game to the death! The stability issues by blameing it on peoples hardware setup and noob overclcoking. I still kinda belive that. Defending the gayness palyers with "join a new server" and the hacking with the same "join a new server" but im feed up.

im done with it. Every server is filled with "run and gun" bunny hopping dumbasses, hackers, bug exploiting kids that kill the feel of the game. I uninstalled the game tonight and its not comming back. I still dont entirely blame EA and there lack of real patches that fix real issues like the hopeing and dolphine diveing, but the peoepl palying it. I was dealing with the bugs and game issues just fine. But when peopel play it the way they do right now, there nothign EA can do to keep it fun for people liek me that like a slightly more realistic feel intrested in the game. The onyl thing they can do is hinder it down to a no jump at all slow ravenshield type game that no one would like.

If i decide to sell my game and key, I will gladly give out my ea downloaded account and password for free, so the unlucky buyer can have all the booster packs and SF as well.


fuck EA and fuck Bf2
 
anyone have the Join Button Crash now that you updated to 1.41??? i never had the problem before and just dl'ed and installed 1.41. any ideas???
 
i dont mind the big file sizes, but what really pisses me off is the patching software that takes longer to patch the game than it did to install it and it takes every resource my computer has to do it
 
I notice that they finally switched the BF2142 ad with a Download patch 1.41 advertisement.

I havent had that problem,neither has my clanmates. TBH i havent crashed once since the patch. omg did ea do something right? To bad they cant stop the prone shooting with the pkm shit.
 
well i am trying to dl the patch for the 3rd time given i keep getting a BF2keycheck Crash during the installation of the patch.
 
I personally never even play BF2, I bought the game only to be able to play Point Of Existence 2.

BF2 sucks major balls compared to PoE2. Mainly because PoE2 players seem to be more adult and theres more teamwork.
 
yeah i have seen a change in the players in BF2.

anyways i found that i dl'ed the patch from the gamershell link on the first page (thanks for that), got a a decent transfer rate, installed it with no problem but still had the crash. so i reinstalled BF2 and used the 1.41 patch only and it seems to run fine. however i am getting a connection problem all the time. it could be the 1.5mb dsl that Qwest talked me into. i already put in the work order for the 5mb line for 8bucks more and i will post up if i see anything get worse, which it should not.

anyone pick up BF2142 at bestbuy yesterday for 29 bucks??? i went to get it today and it was back up to 49.99.
 
I picked up bf2142 for 24.99 at bb
i like the game way better than BF2 It runs better than bf2 ever did !! and its fun as hell
i like it alot you don't get those retards that dolphin dive and all that bs
what i recommend is if you buy the game patch it all up with 1.05 to 1.06 and then play the game and you should have no problem
i liked the game so much i picked up a new sound card today with some of my BB giftcards i got for my bday got the X-fi xtreme gamer kickass sound card and it boots my systems performance and the sound is amazing way better than my audigy gamer
highly recommend both !!!

by more adult, and mor eteamwork you mean, more run and gun, slightly faster pace with one shot one kills right? lol

im with you though, POE2 is better than BF2 in every aspect
 
You will generally find a lot more maturity on the BF2 mod servers that you will with straight up BF2 ... and even SF for that fact. I run three mod servers - currently running N@W, Sandbx, and Sir.Mod and the gaming is often good. things can get touchy on the Sandbox on occasion, but that's life. Sir.Mod... hell, there's not time to actually get into the game. N@W is good in that it has a crap load of maps (we run all 4 map packs in rotation). When we ran PoE2, the rounds were always good, but since there were a large number up and running, we rotated that in for another mod.
