(1.2 patch) Wouldn't it be funny...

[WarGimp]

... if ya'll just got owned?

There's still nothing offical out yet. EA hasn't said a word. In fact, I just noticed this posted on their boards: http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic...f1d3cedbe42a3b

We have some good news for you regarding Patch 1.2. The patch has now undergone its final phase before release, and is currently being prepared to be released very soon. We will update you further when we know the exact day the patch will be released.

I want to extend our thanks to the fans for helping us grapple with the issues that have made your game play less than an optimal experience at times. We are pleased with the improvements in the patch and sincerely hope you are all pleased with the work we’ve done.

Would it not be amusing if the patch released via that German site was a fake, or maybe a pre-release version?

Lotsa feathers could be ruffled over nothin here.
Or, it could be true.

Who knows?

I'm waiting ta see what tomorrow brings.

Re: (1.2 patch) Wouldn't it be funny...

Im hoping it was some earlier version that somebody intentionally or unintentionally uploaded thinking it was finalzed because this one seems to have brought out more problems out of what its fixed.

I'll wait till' tomorrow for word that it was a fake. *Crosses Fingers. If not, I'm not going to cry over it, just adapt.

Re: (1.2 patch) Wouldn't it be funny...

People seem to be playing on the updated official EA servers, so I'd assume the content checks are saying they're the same...

It's not a fake - it definitely has all of the changes and content. If it's pre-release then I find it REALLY weird that EA's regular, public servers are running it.

Either way I'm not worried. Worst case scenario is that I revert to 1.12 and repatch.

================================================== ==============================
Battlefield 2™: V1.2
ReadMe File
February 03, 2006
================================================== ==============================


================================================== ==============================
Patch v1.2
================================================== ==============================

Hard Drive Space

Windows will require additional free hard drive space for its operating system
(virtual memory). If you encounter the following message in an error dialog:
"Ran out of virtual memory", free up some more hard drive space.

To install Battlefield 2 Version 1.2 you will need approximately 2.0 GB free hard
disk space for the full patch or 1.5GB for the incremental patch, plus space for
saved games.

If you have Battlefield 2 installed to a different hard disk than where you have
Windows installed then approximately 375Mb (full patch) or 100Mb (incremental patch)
of the required free space must be available on the hard disk where Windows is
installed.

To install Battlefield 2: Euro Force you will need approximately 800Mb free hard
disk space plus space for saved games.


BATTLEFIELD 2: SPECIAL FORCES AND THE PATCH
- It is very important to remember that the Special Forces executable is an earlier version of the game.
If you have purchased Battlefield 2: Special Forces after you have installed the patch, you will need to reinstall
patch 1.2 after installing Special Forces.

NEW FEATURE
VISIBLE UAV
- The UAV that is placed by Commanders will now include a visual element. An actual UAV will appear within the
UAV detection radius and circle the area. Players will be able to shoot it down, bringing the UAV detection to a premature end.
The Commander will be able to continue placing UAVs once the timer resets, as per current design.


KNOWN ISSUE
ATI CROSSFIRE CARDS
- Crossfire cards with 256 Megs of memory, running in CrossFire mode will run out of memory at very high resolution settings.
On very high resolutions, such as 1920x1440 with 6x antialiasing. In CrossFire mode the ATI drivers are more restrictive
about where resources are allocated, and as a result run out of memory sooner than with a single board. This running out of memory causes
the device context creation to fail. The result is that the game just sits in a loop with a black screen. If you experience a context creation failure
change your resolution to a lower setting (e.g. 1024x768 or even lower).

It's real. So, just enjoy.

Interesting, where's the bit about no 64 player maps in EF gone?!?

Re: (1.2 patch) Wouldn't it be funny...

Well if someone can check if everything is there, its hardly likely someone is going to go to all that trouble and release a fake just before the real one with all the things that were stated.

I downloaded one and it wont install. And im ****ed.

It would only be funny for you since you like to antagonize people and be generally negative. If someone else got "owned" it would suck for them and you should sympathize...

Reading other posts, It looks like:

Grenade Launchers can still be used within EA's "limited splash radius" update.

Blue/Red Name Tag bug is still possible. A picture was posted depicting it on EA's forum.

Re: (1.2 patch) Wouldn't it be funny...

Oh it's real, and it's spectacular!

I've been playing for the past couple hours on 1.2 ranked servers and my stats are counting, so all is good.

...and try out the new and improved AA!

Edit: The Red Tag Bug is still alive and kicking

That's hardly conclusive. Like I said though - who cares? If it's not genuine then we all had some fun with a previous version and we'll patch up when the real one comes out.

You guys are making mountains out of molehills.
