Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Ok here's the scoop on the patch.


I don't own Special Forces but have fought in a few battles since I patched BF2. Here's what I learned.

1. The patch is mainly for Special Forces.
2. BF2 gets a ton of new weapons. Each class has not one but 2 locked weapons.
3. The unlock system is progressive. For example, the Assault class starts with the M16/noob tube. From there, you can upgrade to the GP30. Next you can upgrade to the F3000 with grenade launcher. :) You have to do it in order though.
4. There are 3 new G36 variants available for unlock now. The engineer finally gets a decent rifle, a medium-strength G36. The support class gets a heavy G36M, and the medic can unlock a very nice medium powered G36.
5. Some class gets to unlock a flashbang grenade. I've been flashed twice, and it's very effective. Screen goes white, it's hard to hear and you can't sprint until it wears off.
6. Just like with the second tier of unlocked weapons, if you kill a guy using the new third tier weapons, you can grab his pack and use the new weapon.

Before any of you get too excited, keep in mind that these are all big boy weapons. You can't unlock any of the new stuff until you unlock old stuff (or if you're dedicated you can stick with one class and get one unlock after another just for that class).

Alright this patch is officiallly not compatible with RAID 0 GRrrrr

The patch on the EA site fixed my "patching failed" problem, it does have a different file name to the 1 i was previously trying.

Maybe EA fixed the patch?

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

I think I'll wait for a bit to download and patch...seems that some people are having problems.

That, and it doesn't seem that the 1.12 patch doesnt do much beyond get BF2 ready for SF. BF2 STILL has a lot of unfixed issues.

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

I did not get a patching failed error, just when I tried to run BF2 after the update I got a black screen and then kicked bback to desktop. Tried complete un-install several times with same results. Am now back to the patched 1.03 version and playing fine. Also I have a new DXDIAG error dinput8.dll not loading, any ideas???

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Which one did you use?

bf2_patch_112.exe

or

bf2_v1_12update.exe

The bf2_v1_12update.exe is the one that worked for me after a few uninstalls. The bf2_patch_112.exe would give me problems like not getting to the login screen or if I start a game it would crash back to the desktop halfway through loading a map.

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

I tried both with the same results. I now believe the problem is with my video card, ATI X850 XT 256MB PCIE w/5.11 drivers. I left a tech post with ATI and hopefully they will look into this and release ANOTHER driver update. I think there have been something like 4 or 5 since BF2 was released. -sigh- back to the 1.03 patch ver to play some more.

Thanks for the suggestion though...

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Yet another reason not to buy ATI.

Just wanted to add a fix for alot of people that have been having trouble patching the game. The stupid patch looks at a windows registry key to see how much free space you have to unpack it. By default the path is c:\program files. Many of you just install Windows on that partition/drive but have your games and apps in bigger drives and therefore don't have 3gb free space to unpack the patch. Furthermore many don't even install Windows to the c: drive, but this registry key is always the same.

To work around the patch path problem, crack open regedit and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion

Don't unfold the key, just click on it to get data in the right pane. Find the line on the right that says this:

ProgramFilesDir C:\Program Files

Right click on it and select modify. Before you change it, right click and copy the data out then change the key to whatever you want (d: or whatever has a ton of free space, more than 3 gigs). Close regedit and launch the patch. It will then unpack to whatever you specified. When you're finished, open regedit back up, modify that key, and paste the old entry back in. Works like a champ.

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

Thanks for the additional input afro. My problem does not involved the update installing successfully, it does that. I have a 120gb c: drive so no space probs. As for ATI, I have never had problems with them in the past and the card I have in my current machine is one of the most powerful they have offered. I just dont know why EA did not include these cards in their release of BF2. Per some other posts, one would think a company would create an app that was supported on as many different platforms as possible to get the highest sales...oh well, being in the IT industry for 20+ years should have cured me of that wishful thinking a LONG TIME AGO! LOL:laugh:

Yeah the fix I posted isn't for your problem. It's for the problem where it says you don't have enough hd space free. In your case I'd just be patient, it can take awhile to unpack and prompt you to continue.

Re: Battlefield 2 Client Patch v1.12 Released

:cussing: I finally convinced ATI that my problem was driver related and I hope to hear back from them when a new updated driver will be released. Once that happens, I will post another update with the results...unless of course EA releases a update for the update!!! :ar15:

Did I get the word update in enough???:banana:

Cool smileys, huh!:nerr:

sigh--I gotta get more sleep
