1.2 Patch Released!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

After just trying the patch out for myself i have to say i agree 100% with the complaints.
The amount of times i got tked by AA fire is phenomenal, its almost as if DICE has went out of there way to make it miss enemy targets and head directly for friendlys. Also performance has took a nose dive, i have what i think is a powerfull computer. I have a 3.6ghz 64bit HT P4 chip, 4 gigs of RAM @533mhz, an ATI X1800XT and a raptor HD. With 1.12 i had everything set to ultra high with 6x anti alaising and it was as smooth as a babys arse. Now at 1.2 there is a noticable drop in performance, its as if DICE has taken a hammer to my computer and knocked it back into the stone age.

My god this game was sooooo much fun, im not an amazing player dont get me wrong, never was, never will be, and never claimed to be, i only played this game because it was so much fun to play. But Jesus Christ this patch in my opinion has completly destroyed the game.

Im all up for exploit fixing, get rid of "dolphin diving or bunny hopping" (whatever the fluff they are?)Fix stat padding, but i always thought that as a rule, patches were a way of delivering improvments.
Dice has proven me wrong.

Whats the point of AA's having machineguns if they hit the choppers almost 100% of the time with their missiles?

I used to love being in an AA firing machine gun trying to nail a good chopper pilot. Now, its too easy, i just fire a missle and done.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Has anyone tried to play with the new Sniper rifle and P90?

It seems you can only use these weapons on the older BF2 maps, Its only for MEC and Marines.

Thats such crap!!!!

I hate when these programmers introduce a great new weapon unlock that only works for certain soldiers on certain maps.

I personally think the project manager of this 1.2 rev should be fired or reprimended.

I dont hear too many people talking about the positive benefits of this 1.2 rev. As many say "EA changed the whole game".

Im going to miss flying choppers. Hell, most people cant even get the chopper to take off on some maps without being hit by an AA platform or mobile vehicle.

Also snipers are killing everyone. While i think a head shot should be an instant kill, i am tired of being hit while jumping or running and being instantly killed.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Did anyone experience extreme lag with the 1.2 patch? Not only that, but did any buildings or any other model vanish in a map? It did 4 me. Can this be fixed?

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

I'm starting to dislike the patch now. 24 hours after the patch was released certain things seem to have altered. Half the stuff that was accurate on patch day, don't seem so a day later. Was just on Moders in the SAS tank, I fired 3 shots at the T90 all hit yet no damage, and several minutes earlier the opposite happened, the T90 fired at me direct hit and I was still at 50% damage (same as I was before he fired).

I just don't understand why 24+ hours later things feel different.

No one is gonna help you. You didn't even give any kind of specs of your PC or the actual problem. All your doing is whining and crying about the freakin patch! :cry:

Exactly what I was saying! The missles go Zig Zags! It's STUPID.

And more problems... as some of you have mentioned, lag. Lagging way too much! I'm on all-low/off settings and I still lag. If I shoot, I lag, if I move, I lag. ****es me off it's not even possible to play.

You have a lock on an enemy jet, the stupid missles goes right after your teammates jet/heli and it kills everyone! Boom! -20! ****!

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Hmm had my 3rd CTD. Only happened once during my 2 hours of play, while I was parachuting off the TV station building and just as I pushed the key to deploy my parachute it crashed. Yah I am getting killed a lot more, it seems to have balanced it out in some sense but I am still getting used to it.

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed screen shots no longer work- that makes at least four people now

Another "problem" my *opponents* are having: its very hard to kill me with mines, because the warning as if they are friendly displays whenever I get near them.

Anyone else seeing this?
In FuShe Pass I was the first of my team to arrive at the East Mine after it had been taken over- the minimap made this fact obvious.
There were mines scattered about, yet I was shown the warning icon.

"Ok, maybe it was friendly layout from earlier, and the enemies just happened to miss them all," I think.
But later I played alone with a friend on FuShe for a test, he laid out some mines. When I drove near I again got the warning as if they were friendly, even though he was USMC while I'd taken China.
Doesn't happen every time, but a good 2/3rds at least.

What gives?

Oh and yes, I can vouch for the name tag bug not being fixed- almost got a TK trying to run over a guy who didn't come up blue, but at the *last* instant I thought "His uniform looks Chinese!", turned and planted my jeep in a tree. Next thing I know, he hops in, name red, dot showing his place in the vehicle also red.

Patch needs patching... :/

Re: 1.2 Patch Released!

how about the red tag bug. werent they spose to fix it? i was playing surge earlier today and had the same thing happen. i have always put up with the bugs in the hope ea would fix the problems, now this is just ridiculus. several months and patches later and the problems are still there.
