Battlefield 2 Patch Coming

121

EA's Battlefield 2 site has a new community update, mentioning that a 1.01 patch for the game is being released next week. Though the update lists several changes and says they are "the major fixes" there's nothing in there about the biggest bug - the game incorrectly identifying people as team mates. So what is fixed?

-Fixed issues that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive. We've added some new functionality and buttons to the Multiplayer Browser that make finding an open game of Battlefield 2 much, much easier. Issues users have encountered involving zero ping servers or browser hangs have all be addressed. -Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu. Some functions previously were not available to be rebound in the Controls Options menus. These items have been added to make rebinding of functions much easier. -Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB Users who rebind the Left Mouse Button to "Move forward" rejoice! With these fixes and more, it should be much easier to get in to a game of Battlefield 2 and that much easier to play it the way you want to play it. Look for this update to be deployed into battle some time next week!
A new Linux server build is being worked on as well, and EA hopes to have an Open Beta version of the Battlefield 2 Mod Development Toolkit out some time in July.

    Ooh nice!

    I hope it makes the browsing for servers much more responsive like in an Unreal/Quake Engine game (not like it matters much to me I play Shackservers 99% of the time, heh).

    Also would be nice if there is a "favorites" so I can put the Shack servers there.

        Yes, but the JK/CoD browsers are just fine.

        Out of all of them though, the UT browser is the most functional and customizable. Also fast as hell, and does not stress your system loading servers.

        You can actually do other things while it is doing a query.
