Patch v522175 Released for Bad Company 2
From the postings by Scinto in the forums and EA's own threads:
*UPDATE* 522175 is going live now. STEAM will launch later, possibly tomorrow, as it needs to go through extra QA before it goes live on Steam.
Version 522175 is going live within a couple of minutes. This has fixed the multiplayer map CTD's we experienced with 522174.
[NOTE: 522175 is merely a re-packaging of the datafiles from 522174. Therefore, version 522175 reports itself as 522175 in the auto-patcher, but does still say "522174" in the game's splash screen.]
Changelog for 522175:<!--more-->
Looks like a good start to correct a lot of the annoying problems. Posts in the forums tell us the patch is improving a number of gameplay issues. Its a good start to getting the game in tip-top shape.
As a helpful tip, if you are running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may want to be sure your updater is set to "run as administrator" as well as the game itself.
UPDATE: The patch is now available for Steam users. Restart Steam for the patching to begin.
