1.2 patch is out!

And. . .it is good.

ftp://159.153.197.99/pub/patches/bf2_incr...2%20-%201.2.exe

Not necessarily the BEST DL link, but it's an official one.

Note: I played last night. I liked it VERY MUCH, but the incorrect color for teammate/enemy bug continues.

Now if they could just make a patch to make ppl play a team-oriented game as a team, instead of 32 lone-wolfs.

hehe. Cool. Thanks for the link Doc.

seems like maybe they got 50%+ of the annoyances though. But lets see how many more they added. ;-)

As long as the bunny hopping stops. If not, BF2 is screwed.....

that link has been full all day, what was that link you shared a while back atomm?

Found it. Getting a 300KB/Sec off the bf2smoker.de site.

I was about half way through from ftp://largedownloads.ea.com when they pulled it from that site for [b][i]SOME reason

hhmmmm.......
I'll wait to install it.

It's back now.

Played a bit tonight after patching. Had some strange issues like the small icons in the weapon selection being wrong for the weapon being shown. On the other hand, I did shoot down 4 helos on the Fushe Pass map tonight as well 🙂

Going to be tough getting used to not being able to jump toss C4. I died a lot placing it on APCs or tanks instead of being able to hide around a corner and toss it into the path. Saw no bunnies or dolphins and did not get tubed. I did however get sniped. alot.

And kicked the shit out of Paladin all night 😉

I did not have my best game but it was fun! It was cool of the DAT guys to kick people off for us to make room when we joined their TS server. Man those guys are laid back I give them that 😉

Maybe we can join you guys but keep playing on their server 😉

I LOVE seeing the UAV’s now. Not only cool to shoot the enemies down but lets you know where they are concentrating there’s. 😉 That was a cool surprise.

So far I found no real negatives to the patch. It fixed my crouch problems FINALLY!
For the first time since I owned the game I can now crouch when on top of the tank. That was a weird bug.

Now to figure out why I cannot seem to talk/hear in the game VOIP

We need to get the squads to stay together more and we will be all set.

Ha! I think I got you like 6 times in a row when I first joined in 🙂 I went 8 or 9 kills and 1 death (thanks to Docjon) to start the night, but by the end of that round of Oman I was 12-11 :? US was getting absolutely pounded by the MEC jets and helos. I think they accounted for 75% of my deaths.

When I first got BF2 I had to do a lot of adjusting on the VOIP to get it to work correctly. It seemed like it was either overmodulating or so soft no one could here me and anytime I changed the settings I had to check Teamspeak as well to make sure that any changes I made weren't creating the same problem in that program.

One thing that seemed to help was setting the Threshold in the VOIP settings to 0%. This thead may also help some: http://www.gamersradio.com/PNphpBB2-viewto...pic-t-2286.html

What kind of sound card do you have? And what are your in game settings?

I have a few ideas on what is wrong, I just have not really played with it yet as I do not use it that much. I have a SoundBlaster Audgy2. Today I remembered changing something not too long ago that may have done it. I prefer TS anyway but sometimes the in game chat is useful. I will work on it.

So what are we going to play this Friday? Maybe we can get an unranked server and run some mods or the new map packs on it. Just a thought 😉

I would be up for the custom maps. I haven't checked it lately, but the TotalBF2 server was the only place that had enough people to make playing custom maps worthwhile. I believe they were playing MapPack3.

What do you guys think?

And you know me. I am always up for Special Forces or CTF. :-)

Customs or CTF would be fine with me. I played several of the MapPack 3 maps a few weeks ago and they were fun.

Tried to run CTF last night after patching and I got a CTD - haven't checked in to why or anything yet though.

Ok. Figured it out with a quick visit to http://www.desert-conflict.org/

1.2 patch causes DCON to stop working - they have issued CTF version .21 with a small patch to fix it. Should be good to go with that downloaded and installed.

cool deal, For Friday I will do whatever. I need to play BF2 without bunnyhoppers!!

both patches (BF2 and CTF) installed.

Make sure that you have the .22 Patch for CTF. They found something else wrong and did a new patch at some point this afternoon/evening. It is very small in size.

got it. You having any problems with BF2 after the patch? I'm seeing a LOT of people having problems with ATI 9000 series videocards and framerates dropping to 1-5 FPS. I'm also seeing a lot of people with SB Audigy problems after the patch as well. hmmm....

Uh oh I have a 9800 and an audigy 2. Ran good for me tonight, barring a little lag brought on by people with HUGE pings (300-400ms).

This inspires me to play again for the first time in weeks!

Drop by Friday Night Hymen..... It would be good to see you...

I hate that cept my biggest problem is those that have a 100-150 when I have a 20. hahaha.

You always seem to have a low ping. I typically stay under 100. There is one server I play on alot in England that I get 80's on.

I'd like to think it is because I live nearly in the middle of the US but I'm sure Atomm can give a good reason why.

It's roids.... Your provider uses them to boost their service..... 😛

I always assumed it's because of your proximity to a large city, but then Sarge and I are rather close to Boston.
