View Full Version : First Patch due today 7/6/05 Fyunch Click 07-06-2005, 08:29 AM Look for the first patch to BF2 today around noon or so (probably pacific time). Only 5 fixes listed: none of which is the team color bug, nor a favorites add in to the in game browser, etc. Gryphon 07-06-2005, 08:44 AM The main fixes for this patch were server stability issues. On the server admin email lists Dice announced that is mainly what it would cover last week. ATF server is patched and running for what it's worth, unfortunately still unranked. Jadal 07-06-2005, 10:24 AM Gryph, you waiting for EA's baptism of the server? Is that why nobody is ever on it? Gryphon 07-06-2005, 10:51 AM Ya heh, nobody wants to play on unranked servers :( I have some l33t ideas for making sure ATF members can always get on in the event that it was ever to become a popular server. But sadly those ideas lie idle. Gryphon 07-06-2005, 11:56 AM Here ya go http://www.alliedtribalforces.com/files/bf2patch_v_101.exe ======================= Patch Information ======================= - Patch v1.01 Fixed in issue that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive. Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu. Fixed an issue with increasing performance degradation on servers. Fixed a problem with shader caching on client/host : after the first map in a rotation, shaders would be loaded on the fly during gameplay. Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB Fixed a problem that caused environment mapping to not appear on reflective surfaces. Fixed a crash that happened when a client picks up a kit that doesn't exist anymore. Fixed a problem with AI when the game was paused for a long time: bots would become unresponsive and also shoot more accurately. LOD distances tweaked on certain objects.

[SOB]Grunt 07-06-2005, 08:31 PM Now that last bit is great news! Wonder about qtracker though? Gryphon 07-06-2005, 09:47 PM The Qtracker developer has added support and should have a release out shortly. Swad 07-07-2005, 06:01 AM o.O It's true--grunt lives! skoog 07-07-2005, 07:35 AM I'm happy that when you click up/down it now only scrolls one server at a time. Malthus 07-07-2005, 08:30 AM When you restart xfire, you should get the 1.42 update which will let you join a friends server now also. Much easier then tracking people down and having them read ip addresses. So if you don't have it yet, get xfire, it's free. :) |
