BF2S Forums Patch 1.41 Released!

c'mon guys... be at least a little fair.

Our server hit the max players earlier this evening after the 1.41 patch, so there has to be a massive amount of people who are NOT having problems after this patch.

I'm no EA lover, but I've read three posts stating they've had problems.. yet there's five PAGES of replies...

(and who's to say the problems they're having ARE the patch? - I was having the sticky spawn screen BEFORE 1.41 every once in a while!)

and so what if the patch is 500mb? really....
EA have said that an incremental is on it's way, but because of an issue in post testing, they have to delay it so they can fix it.

No offense, but you can't have it both ways. You complain that they don't release decent patches and you complain when they hold back one release type of a patch because it isn't decent enough....


Also, don't forget that the people who host your ranked servers are the ones responsible for applying the new patch to the servers. THEY are the ones who should let you know it's coming.
THEY are the ones who should agree on a time / date for the patch to be installed | let you schedule a time / date to install it.... not EA...


Like I say... I HATE EA... but fair's fair...

Downloading now via EA downloader...another 2:30 hours to go. No problem since im off work Ill as it is.
But ill check out the game on 1.4 prior to installing 1.41 to see if all my fav SF servers have updated.

The fact that its 536MB to fix a server side crashing issue really is quite a minor update. Yes, its nice to stop that 5% of servers that do crash....but is a 536mb patch for one fix really justified?
They never told us of any official release date, in fact, they never even mentioned that they were working on a 1.41 patch on the BF2 website...only on the 2142 website. So us BF2 players wouldnt have known the slightest difference whether or not the patch had been delayed.
Even still, I prefer to download the full patches since incrementals always give people problems and this topic would be twice the size with people complaining that it doesnt work...
Full patches always work, incrementals have always posed problems without fail. If they had released an Incremental, then you would most likely see more people whining like little schoolgirls and then download the full patch afterwards claiming that it's EA's fault.

Half of the problem is that there have been a few threads on these forums asking what people want in the next 1.41 patch....and so people get high expectations (and rightly so with a game such as BF2).
I have to agree that they should have looked at other bug fixes and tweaks too, but at the end of the day, at least they are showing that they still have a commitment towards BF2 and havent just abandoned it like everyone thought they would with the release of 2142.

Meh, when my fav. server switches, I will, tell then, Na na na na boo boo

1 fix, 500 mb

its on EA Downloader btw, if any of yall have it. its going almost 1mb/s

I won't buy 2142 till a patch is released for BF2 that allows a user to manipulate the modulation of in game characer sounds without altering the environment sounds.

There is nothing worse than hearing "i need a medic" 40 times when your trying to hear the footsteps of an enemy nearby.

If you cant get atleast 15 heals in a round you fail at medic

Don't see why you're bitching about the 536Mb d/load, it only took me 8.5 minutes from my reliable source!

An extremely funny thing happened to me today. The l85a1 now has more random deviation than ever. I was prone and scoped in and saw the enemies full body yet it kept on hitting the bottom of the crane next to me. The guy was about 8 feet away and the bottom of the crane about 1 foot to my left lmao!

Funny, they mentioned no modification of the weapon and it still kicked major ass for me today with no change to my gameplay. On Gator, mostly cqc and those long range zoomed shots. Didnt notice any difference. And there shouldnt be any either - its not in the changelog.
It must just be the user

No i agree its a great weapon but when zoomed it can get pretty random.

Is it just me or does the new patch reset your video settings to some kind of default? I have my settings carefully tweaked to accommodate my weak card (6800XT) and when I started the game after the patch they were all reset. Not a huge problem but I had to exit a game, remember what my settings were, and then sit there changing about 10 settings--for no reason except the people who created the patch are idiots. It couldn't have been too difficult for the patch to save my settings and restore them.

I figured I should post this because this forum really doesn't have enough whining about patches.

Yes, it does. My graphics are all low with max draw distance, so its not hard to change back

Good for you. I tried downloading from http://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/patche … h_1.41.exe but it said 4.5 hours for the download and when I came back it said windows could not complete the operation because it timed out...

My net has a habit as of late of cutting out. Download the patch with EA Downloader (or EA Link or whatever the hell its called now). Took me about 2.5hours to download it and the net cut out once, but it carries on after.
Use EA Downloader.

EA=RIP

(RIP=rest in patchs)

Cheers Bro, take care....
