Battlefield 2142 v1.4 Patch Beta 2 Released

[Liquid144]

- Smoke from the CM3-N Radar Grenade deploys more quickly. The Radar range has been slightly increased and endures for the duration of the smoke effect.
- The CM3-N Radar Grenade may now be resupplied.
- The screening effectiveness of all smoke grenades has been significantly improved.

That's just win. Thanks DICE!

Thats brutal.... fixing stuff that really doesn't need to be fixed. Hell there is a swimming pool on highway tampa?

I haven't played tampa in a while but I believe the pool is in the 64 player pac main base. What they meant by fixing visuals was that the pool's harbour statics were overlapping causing a lot of flickering when looking at it.

ya... it needed to be fixed, had some texture or mesh errors or something. If you looked at it from certain angles it got all these black areas.

Hoo-ah! Can't wait to get home & try this puppy out. The 500 lb. gorilla they don't mention- Server stability with the patch...

I may be wrong, but I think when they did that maintenance that caused all the weird issues and EA server was down a long time, was when they were fixing that. After that was done, the first time disconnects stopped for most people and a few other weird things straightened out.

But like I said, I may be wrong.

just got back from playing, after 3 good long round no ctd.

could someone please make or link me to a torrent file of this, I'm hanging on every download.

- Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops

Regarding this, I'm having trouble moving the pod launched by a squad leader beacon. The standard movement keys do nothing, and I haven't had much success with the usual waggle. How is this supposed to work?

[PeteDude]

Nice, DICE! I hate when the squad leader drone kills me when I deploy it lol it could be more effective though. Man, I don't wanna be on a server when the other side has 2 pro gunship pilots, nice add though I love the gunship myself. Highway Tampa is cool. All of them are cool fixes I may download this right away.

[lavbanka]

2 pro gunships, that's harsh but FUN! (at least i hope, it should make up for the lack of jets)

[Yukiism]

Finally, you'd almost think they had forgotten about 2142

[Dtneter]

hmm i played like 5 rounds but no crash and oh yea the smoke and the gunships are really an improvement

offtopic: hey toxic_wolf unbanned

[RottnJP]

Hmm... When I run the patch I get a "You already have a newer version" error... Anyone know anything about that?

[nemes1s3000]

"Titans will now spawn up to two gunships per side"

About damn time.

I had the same problem and tried the sticky on the support forum http://bf2142.totalgamingnetwork.com...ad.php?t=14081

It didn't work for me but when I did set Version to 1.25 and BuildNr to 1.08.21.0 I could install the patch.

[RottnJP]

Kewl, Thanks! As described, once I put in the version and build number it worked like a champ!
