Please bear in mind that the patch is currently being mirrored across EA servers so you might have to wait a little while to access the link. Alternatively, mirrors are already appearing and will be linked to in a seperate thread.
This patch addresses the following:
- Fixed the Hmmwv with TOW crash on Battlefield 2: Special Forces maps
- Fixed the Battle Recorder crash
- Fixed the screen capture
- Fixed the issue with Pixel Shader 1.4 video cards
- Fixed the issue that caused heat seeking missiles to stick to oil towers
- Fixed the issue that caused heat seaking missiles to ziz-zag
- Reduced the maximum number of claymores that can be dropped to 2
- Fixed the Server Browser filter to enable search by map name
- Fixed the error in Client - Server communication causing sound, animation and other
sync issues.
As before we are locking the other Battlefield 2 forums for now in response to the inevitable heavy discussion of the 1.21 patch, they will be reopened again before the end of the week. Please remeber to keep all feedback, be it positive or negative, civil, constructive and friendly.

I would, but I know it will probably be tomorrow before any/all servers switch over to the latest patch. Plus, I see no mention of the RED Name Tag Bug, or the AT(and other weapons) misfire, or shoot through stuff. Now, if all this is included as apart of the last "Fix" then great, but I highly doubt it since ALL of the above mentioned bugs have been around since the release and soo far EA/Dice have done nothing about it.
These are my first thoughts, too.
Real pain to fire straight through enemy armor + to get attacked + kill
friendlies !
Well I'm yet to go flaming EA around here but meh. I haven't tried this patch yet but it's funny how many people are criticizing it before they've even try it. I wish I could say they are wrong in doing this but unforutnately they're probably right.
BF2 has the potential to be the greatest online FPS ever. DICE could have made it that. EA recently acquired DICE so who knows what will happen - hopefully they'll get their sh*t together. I truely wish DICE would have never had a game published by EA. DICE could distribute their game via Steam and then they wouldn't have had to get regulated by EA. I think EA has the final say on everything because they are the publisher and this is just stupid. The game devs are the ones who should have creative control.
My biggest criticism is that they have ignored core bugs in the game and spent their time changing things to suit a bunch of people whinging on forums like this. The firendly appearing as an enemy bug, the flag not registering as having been cap'd bug, the AT missile shooting through vehicles bug, the type 'e' at the end of a chat message and exit your vehilce bug. These are critical and should have been addressed in the first patch but no, they just nerf a bunch of crap and create new core bugs. Lame lame lame.
Tweaking gameplay when there are real issues to address - this is just plain bad. Once the game is polished, whatever, nerf my blackhawk, make AA take zero skill to use, whatever, but ignoring the real issues at hand, this is simply unexcusable.
Oh, and Mr. Lars Gustavsson, Creative director, DICE - stating in an interview the other day stating "We constantly try to improve our support (to the mod community)" - this is a complete lie and it's fkn lame too.
Bring on ET:QW and UT2k7, DICE can go make football games for consoles for all I care, they are no longer what they once were, now they're just another one of the many faceless gamedev sweat shops that EA controls.
Still, I hope I'm wrong and they'll make this game all that it could be.. like I said, the potential is there but I've been losing hope steadily.

Great read here, see how Mr. Gustavsson sounds compared to the guys at Epic, Id and Valve - what a joke.
I won't even bother posting, you can't post the same thing but so many times.
I got to say and agree that this patch was released as quickly as possible to get euro forces out. Why on Earth they think everyone is going to jump and buy Euro Forces right away is beyond me. I personally like free maps in patches. Sucks that now to get a new map we have to pay for it. I think I'll just wait for the mods... so we won't have all this garbage.
Yea i no I was thinking the same thing. O well, i just hope it inproves from the previous patch. Last but not least thank you very much for this message topic thing lololol.:)

I agree with what you are saying. The Red tag bug is still intact, in fact, i had my first instance of it in a while today. But one thing, don't call 1.21 a "fix" because it did fix stuff. I couldn't play the game with 1.2 due to servere lag/invisible buildings. 1.21 fixed that and I'm grateful.
Hey how did you guys get this before EA could even post it on there own?
I go to the Ea download section where people can get the patches and patch v1.21 isnt there.
This is why I've grown to be ****ed at the Battlefield community. Everyone is so greedy and want more and more and more. For you whiners out there, why don't you go get a freakin computer science degree and go get a job at DICE and make the fricken patch. Do you realize that these are people that are doing jobs and you treat them like crap for absolutely no reason? They told us that this patch would be small and I say it's pretty good for only being 2 weeks. So if you're going to whine about it then stop playing the game. It seems to me that you think it is unbearably bad so you better just stop hanging around in a forum which goal is to talk about the game you so strongly hate.
Well, I installed the patch and was using the shoulder fired rocket and had a buggy riding straight toward me and I fired and it went right threw it and did NOT explode and of course I got ran down!!

This happened to me in the past a few times...well before any patches, so I doubt it's a bug particular to this release.
