    **Server Browser Fix**

    Ok the problem were going to fix here is the browser issue. Most of you know the servers do not come up when 7-8+ filters are selected (doesn't matter what filters you have selected, 7-8+ filters will mess it up).

    Ok look at your filters most are checked to about hmmm 7-8 if not all of them. Filters as in battlecommo ranked same version etc.

    Select 6 random filters (Doesn't matter wich one) and apply them then update and tell me what you get? Hmmm looks like the servers that won't show up normally...Bravo

    Hmm look at that when you check around hmmm 7-8 of the filters it jacks up? Why? Idk don't ask me I just found a fix, Prob being too specific in some way and the filters are getting bugged up.

    Doesn't matter what 6 filters you choose it will always show the servers, When you select 7-8 filters it bones you and doesn't show anything...Gay isn't it? Yes it is.

    Anywho theres my 2 cents let me know if this doesn't work and if it doesn't.....Well...Idk your screwed.

    Can a mod verify and approve of this please? If so and it does work request for a sticky. Also I posted in the tips and tricks forum to get this spreaded and into the open to see if it works for other people.
    -------------------------------------
    Ok people I need your help on this to test this out and see if it works. Mods or admins cannot sticky this unless it gets tested first. Now this worked for me and I want to see if it works for this community and everyone else. I seriously think this should clear up a lot of server browser problems with it not displaying anything and lower the rage bar against EA....(For Now). Post your god damn results and let us know if this works or not.

      I couldn't follow your post. Could you clearly state what it is you'd like us to do without all of the glib and (completely justified) anti-EA asides?

          dude...

          ANY 6 or less server filters will give you a list every time
          Any more than 6 filters.. (7+) will result in an empty server list being displayed
          (when you click update server list)

            Browser Fix For Dummies:
            By Kill|Switch



            Ahem


            Look at your filters the ones that you can check and uncheck

            The browser does not work when 7 or more filters are selected
            ex: Battlerecorder,ranked,same version,small maps,big maps,medium maps,battlecommo are all selected you will not see any servers in your browser.

            Now de select all filters so nothing is checked

            Select SIX RANDOM FILTERS AND CHECK THEM

            Apply filters refresh your server list and you should see them flying in now.

            Can it get any more simpler than that?

            Basically use only 6 filters instead of selecting all the ones you want. I don't care wich ones you use just select 6 filters of your choice.

              Cripes. I can't believe I missed something as simple as that.

              Anyway, I tried it and if I check more than six nothing comes up. If it is six or less, then it's fine. You're definitely right.

                  Speaking of fixes for server browsers has anyone figured out a way to disable the 'Message From EA' popup so ASE and XFire can work again?

                        I noticed no servers showing up in my list but at top it said there were. Less than six works for me. Good thing BF2 autoloader still works and is some what improved.

                          Well, since patch 1.03, xfire is broken and you can not connect to a bf2 server anymore. This is because bf2 now requires your username and password in the command-line when launching. Here's a quick fix until xfire updates:

                          - Go into your C:\Program Files\Xfire folder and open xfire_games.ini

                          - Find: [4578]

                          You should see something like this:
                          Code:
                          [4578]
                          LongName=Battlefield 2
                          ShortName=bf2
                          Icon=bf2.ico
                          LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electro nic Arts\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\InstallDir
                          LauncherExe=BF2.exe
                          LauncherPasswordArgs=+password %UA_GAME_HOST_PASSWORD%
                          LauncherNetworkArgs=+joinServer %UA_GAME_HOST_NAME% +port %UA_GAME_HOST_PORT% %UA_LAUNCHER_PASSWORD_ARGS%
                          Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
                          ServerStatusType=BF2
                          InGameRenderer=D3D9
                          InGameFlags=DISABLE_RELEASE|BLOCK_ASYNC
                          ExcludeIPPorts=80,28910,29900,29901,29902,29903,29 904


                          - Under "Launch=" append +playername yourusername +playerPassword yourpassword

                          - It should now look like:

                          Code:
                          Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS% +playername yourusername +playerPassword yourpassword


                          - Restart Xfire

                          It should work like normal now, and it even bypasses the annoying account screen at the start!

                              Yeah I hear ya we shouldn't have to use only 6 filters or less but I guess our hands are tied we have to wait on them nothing else we can do....Wonder if EA knows about this work around???
