Yea, all the maps received a once over for performance, so they had to be updated. Steam doesn't support delta patching files.
Yet, anyway. Wish they would get around to implementing it like they've been talking about.
Yea, would be a beautiful thing lol.
Atleast TWI did give a fair warning telling everyone in advance it would be a few gb.
Game still runs like garbage for me.
Mix of medium and high settings, no AA, still dips below 30 fps. Battlefield 3 runs better. Will never buy another Tripwire product again at this point.
I also cannot believe they still don't have an option to filter out servers with bots. I mean seriously?
EDIT: Lol, the last three servers I joined had a bunch of bots. Ridiculous.

Runs like butter here and the patch has been working great. TWI is the only company I have seen really try to solve issues in a timely manner.
What specs do you have that you want higher frame rates from?
my x4 @ 3.5 and 6970 are running it in the mid 40's to 50's, patch noticeably made a difference, last gaming session my lowest fps was 34, and that was a fairly drastic dip.
As for the bots, i made a favorite list of low ping servers, when i log on i join the most populated ones. I have yet to play against any bots, in 30 hours of playing online. I can't help you on the game running like crap for you, but the server issue seems fairly straightforward.

Stat tracking is still broken. I've played entire rounds start to finish (as per TWI) and my stats still don't update like they should. BF3 beta is ending so I guess I'll have to live with it for a couple weeks.
Really dig the game now with the last patch, lighting has been overhauled so most windows are not so sniper friendly now, campers really stand out instead of blending in with the shadows, audio crackling has been minimized, performance seems to be improved.
Joined a 38 man server last night and my framerate was @ 62fps fixed most of the time, framerate smoothing and one thread frame lag are the the only things turned on, the rest of the sliders are set to medium except for characters and textures which are set to high, still there are many low res textures here and there, there's a little bit of pop in too, kinda distracting when moving closer to visible vegetation, medium FXAA isn't that effective at reducing jaggies but it's better than nothing.
Atleast i found a medium ground for DoF thanks to the tripwire forums, i have toned it down instead of disabling it, http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=68086&highlight=tone+mapping , game looks MUCH better now, as for the gameplay, I REALLY like the implementation of bleeding and slow death, feels like watching a war movie.
Rushing in with your bayonet ready, hearing your soldier's war cry ( death cries are back now btw
) getting shot in the stomach by an enemy rifleman, only seconds before you manage to penetrate his chest and take him down with you, just epic
There will be realism mods soon for the ppl who find the vanilla game too arcadey, can't wait for a zombie mod and some RO1 maps ( arad on this engine should look gorgeous ! )
The game still has lot of potential, new vehicles are in the making, new maps too i presume + that coop mode, devs have released many patches since the launch date, they really do care about their product, now that i've played bf3 on both caspian and metro maps, i still believe that RO2 is pretty unique and has its own appeal, I'll probably be playing both games next year, most of my online friends prefer bf3 but i don't mind playing RO2 with 63 random players, it's not like l4d where a total jackass can really mess up the game for the other 7 players.
There are tk limits and class limits, you can even claim the role of an other player if you happen to do very good during the round. Can't wait to do some spawn camping tonight, my KD post stats reset sits at pathetic 0.90 and that has to change lvl3 kar98 already, HOORAH !

i love how you can just rage quit during a match if you are having a bad game. The stats only save if you play to the last round. I usually rage quit if i have more deaths than kills.
thanks to this, i have a 2.21 kill/death ratio because i only finish matches that i do well in.

Same here. My honor levels stick, but just the other night I played on the same server for several hours, and each time the map would change my weapons were back to level 0 even though they leveled up multiple times each map.
Still plenty of people playing it, especially with the patches that fixed a lot of the issues, and the double XP.
Tried playing on the 7th cav server again after the latest patch though and it said at the end of the map that it wasn't a ranked server anymore for some reason.

Yea, it's been happening to a lot of servers, not just ours. They are aware that there is some issues with it.
I played on that SFSS server just 2 days ago. Something weird going on there because my ping was good but I was lagging all over the place. I was actually being warped from one place to another a few times. After a while I thought maybe someone was hacking the game and causing it. Still not sure what to think but I won't be playing on that server again.
No its still going, just played a couple of rounds, server browser said there were close to 1500 playing multi. The patches have pretty much fixed the vast majority of game play glitches, I haven't encountered any in a week or so. Stats are still a bit iffy i hear, though they are working just fine for me

The latest patch fixed the stats system for me. Now I'm putting a bunch of time into RO2 - now I remember how frustrating this game can be taking me back to RO and Darkest Hour. Losing quite a few games because my team usually sucks and can't move into the cap. This is one game where no matter how well you do, you can't carry your team
Also, the 7th cav server lags HARD. It's a fairly low pinging server when it isn't lagging (hence why I play on it), but over the weekend it was unplayable about 2/3's of the time.
There's only about 5 servers I can play on that are consistently full AND <100ms ping

We had a lot of maintenance going on this weekend to help lower the lag more.
What jackasses. I'll be sure to double check that next time I play.
free weekend starts TOMORROW

downloading the opt-in beta now
I've put more hours playing the seperate beta build instead of the vanilla version if that's saying something
the new classic mode is a must for every realism whore
the game will re-launch this friday with 3 modes
here's a list of differences between them
See you on the (real) battlefield

No, you wont, because this game is a pile of dogshit.
your loss honey
classic mode plays much better than it looks on paper, trust me.
Action mode is ideal for beginners too, the weapon damage is reduced so it's much more forgiving than the other 2 modes, i haven't touched vanilla version since february but i had quite a good time with the beta build, there were so many steam group events recently where you could play with the Devs and have lots of fun, even with 200ping since clientside lag compensation is now finally enabled
The game has it all, a heavily modidied unreal 3 engine which looks brilliant ( even with dof / motion blur turned off
) cover system - commo rose - commander role - mod tools - dedicated servers - pc exclusive - free content updates (you hear that DICE ? ) and 2 total conversions ( rising storm & in country ) in the making, supported by the devs themselves. tomorrow's update will be HUGE -> http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=79061
I suggest the ppl who already own the game to download the optin beta today so they will have to download less data tomorrow when the official giga-patch will be released
Give this gem a try ppl, it's pc exclusive after all
Yup i'll be playing this again and Iron front liberation 1944 this memorial day weekend

What, you haven't played it in 4 months? And you only played ~20 hours. Must be amazing.

If classic mode means it plays more like RO1, I'll give this game a try *again*.
But RO2 was still my biggest game disappointment of 2011. (granted, I didn't buy/play DNF) At least I got a TF2 hat out of the deal.

It says 1st of April not 4th of January you smartass
And yes, the beta build was much more interesting to play because of the classic mode and other stuff, vanilla version was left without updates for almost six months http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=69895
The community of the game is already small and until yesterday it was split in 2 (beta and vanilla build), hence the free weekend and the mega-update
I work 9-12 hours everyday including weekends, i also have a GF and most of my online friends prefer playing BF3 in their spare time, (haven't managed to convert them .... yet
) I also have a big backlog and my steam account is usually recording ~ 40hrs of playtime - last two weeks MAX,do the math
just because I don't play much it doesn't mean that this game doesn't deserve any attention, there are other multiplayer games i wanna play too, nuclear dawn - goldeneye source - payday - gotham city impostors etc what am i supposed to do ? clone myself ?

What on earth do you do for work, that requires you to work 9-12 hour days, and weekends as well? Just curious. Outside of the weekends, my schedule looks just like yours.
I run an OPAP retail shop (http://www.opap.gr/en/web/corporate.opap.gr/10) we have like 5.000 of them in greece, these shops are open like 360 days a year, ask any opap agent, most of us feel like slaves

Oh I've heard of those, I'm from the Balkans (Bosnia). Sounds rough man
