Does 1.3 run for you?

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

I'm not gonna be able to install this till I get home from work

It does seem that theres a lot of people having trouble that renamed bf2.exe

I myself am mod free and have everything(appart from controls) as default.

Fingers crossed

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

14 Yes

2 No.

I'm surprised at the results thus far.

It does look a little one-sided and I think It'll end up more like 70% Yes 30% No when more people get around to applying it.


Remember though that a lot of the negative posts in this forum are coming from the same people (not trying to belittle your problems) and there aren't more than 20 threads in the support forum concerning patch 1.3

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

the annoying process it may take to get the game to work is all forgotten once it actually starts working right.

Thats my take on the situation anyway.... Im ****ed as hell when the game wont work just as much as the rest but when i finally figure it out and I get to play, it's as if none of the problems existed.


And another thing... the crowd who says "I'll never buy another EA game ever again" are obviously not accomplishing anything... EA continues to churn out software and at $42.69 per share, their stock is on a slight decline at the moment... maybe this is the beginning of the end? HAHA, doubt it.

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

lol all the whining, and the votes are 17-3...hmmmmm Runs fine for me. The browser is a mess again, but beyond that it seems to work great.

I noticed that the GL lag didn't seem to be there, and the P90 seemed messed with. Not listed on changelog, dunno if its mental, or if anyone else noticed these 'fixes'.

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

I played for a few hours last night. Vanilla was fine. SF crashed back to windows when first loaded, but other than that all's cool.
Didn't even get lag. The vehicle drop is a great addition. Dropped one right on my bros head. lol

EDIT: OK, I have played a bit more, and I was wrong about vanilla. Can I change my vote? Oh my god! How was this patch released?! Crashes and disconnections. connecting to account server takes an eternity. Maybe next time they should focus on bug fixes and improvements, rather than adding and removing features. SF isn't too bad.

Someone said they didnt get the sound right on the P90 originally in another post.

Something like it the sound originally is like it fires 2 rounds instead of 3 per second and they changed it this time to 3 per second so it sounds different..

Dont quote me on that tho its in one of the 250 other posts on the 1.3 patch in this forum.

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

Patch 1.22 increased the fire rate but not the sound of the gun firing
Patch 1.3 fixeed the P90 so it sounds 'better'

From the same post that Judge read I bet :)

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

I had to vote for "yes I'm playing as normal", since there haven't been any problems that have stopped me playing, but I have to say I think the patch is generally a step backwards in terms of number of bugs. I can still play the game (which means I'm luckier than some here!), but I now see more bugs and problems than I did on 1.22...

anybody know where the list of reward change is, I can't seem to find it.

Check your stats at bf2player.com or bf2s.com - both sites have the new award requirements now.

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

thanks guys!

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

It works for me, but it made the game very choppy, they ruined the netcode, now it's impossible to hit anything moving for 60+ pingers.

[Consultant01]

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

That's the first Ive heard of that Syd. Haven't you posted netcode issues in previous patches? I have to wonder if its a connection issue on your end... anything is possible though.

In the mean time, 35 yes, 4 no, (89% vs 10%)

I am surprised for how loud the boards have been.

Re: Does 1.3 run for you?

Some of the things being shouted at here though, Consultant, are annoyances rather than outright show-stoppers. The server browser is now awful, yes, but it doesn't mean you can't play. Therefore you'll have people posting about the browser, but will still vote for "yes, I can still play"...
