    Server favorites gone. What did EA do this time?

    Now after their new 'update' to fix all the server crashes and connections problems, whenever i press refresh in my favorites list, it deletes all the favorites.

    I'm done with all this garbage.

    You have a refresh button on your favorites page? I haven't looked, but I don't refresh, I just click on the individual server and it does it.

        And now the server search doesn't work at all. Nope, you can't search PERIOD.

            Try having only 6 or less checks in the server filters like Ranked, Same Mod, etc. This was an issue before 1.3.

                Yep favs were gone. A screwup on EA/Dice. It seems to be. Does it keep me from having fun - no. I will seldom chuck an entire game because of some little glitch.

                Sometimes I gotta wonder about you perfectionists out there

                  The thing that completely ****ed it up for me... is all of the CTD's that JUST started happening after this patch.. it takes like 10 tries to get into the server... restarting BF2 each time. Once I finally get in, I have to run all the way across the ****ing map to get somewhere.

                    In that case you are hosed and I feel your pain. In every case where I have crashed after a patch (not just this game) a vanilla install fixes the problem. The problems to date have usually been related to applying 'optimizations' to my system. So I rarely 'optimize' any more...

                      I feel your pain dude, im not a play maniac but ive only had 1 crash( dmp file ) in 2 months( and that was 15th may before 1.3 ), ive played about 100 hours in 2 months and played about 8 hours after i installed 1.3. Im not saying in anyway that its not buggy( and i emphesize this!!!!! ),it could be a hardware or software config issue( mine will probably crash 10 times in the next few hours after i post this )

                      I had loads of crashes before March 23rd when i reinstalled XP pro on a newly wiped drive, and i never bothered installing SF after that time either( too many modified content errors ) and i dont have any booster packs installed. I keep my machine relatively clean, dont install junk anymore, run anti-spyware regularly and fragment drive once every 2 weeks.
                      Since march 23rd i also added 1 Gig more mem, X-Fi card and it seems ok
                      Also make sure your hosts files dont have any redirections, mabye it even crashes if theres anything there.

                      As i said im not trying to nullify your claims in any way, only trying to help dude, in that it might be your system( i know lots of people are having CTD's but there may be a common issue here )

                      I have the following:
                      Crappy Dell 4600 2.4Ghx P4( 478 pin ) with 865PE mobo( mabye dual core causing problems?? )
                      8x AGP x850 Pro( OC's with pipelines open and running at 520GPU/590Mem ) - mabye PCIExpress only has CTD????
                      Catalyst 6.5
                      160Gig boot drive and 40 Gig C: drive
                      X-Fi Xtreme Music
                      2 gig RAM
                      Using 256Upload/2Meg download broadband

                      I dunno, would be extreme to reinstall XP, but mabye uninstall any crap you have on the system, i do remember with the demo when i was using XP Home,512Mb ram,mobo soundcard and NVidia 5200 it would crash on "Join" however

                      Oh and i optomize like a Mofo, PCI latency/killing most services/GPU Mem, killing duff processes in task manager )

                        No, unfortunately, I don't think that is a solution. I only have four checked, and I still get the same problem.

                        If click on each favorite individually, its info updates as normal, but the moment I hit the refresh button, most (not all) disappear. (This is the "favorites" tab, so that alone indicates a bug. If the server doesn't match the filters [not that the filters ever applied to the "favorites" before], then it should just go red, not disappear.)

                        After this point, the whole list (what's remaining) gets buggy, and if I alternate between individually clicking the server and hitting refresh, eventually the whole list will disappear.

                        <--- At DICE, not you.

                          They should just scrap the server browser and use somebody elses. Anything else will be better.
