Battlefield 2 roll-back planned News
PC News by Ellie Gibson
EA and DICE have announced plans to initiate a roll-back for the latest Battlefield 2 update, following problems with the server browser.
According to a statement on the game's official website, "After a thorough investigation into the issues plaguing the server browser after the 1.3 Update, we believe that a last minute update in the way the Battlefield servers and Gamespy servers communicate may be the cause. We have decided to revert this change in an attempt eliminate these browser issues."
You don't need to uninstall or reinstall anything - but "All servers currently running must be restarted once this change has taken place." The statement also observes that "If you are experiencing CTD issues upon start up that any alternate-ranking redirections in your windows "Hosts" file must be removed."

too right. i can understand the allure for developers [well, publishers, i suspect] of going for an all-in-one gamespy solution for providing your game's multiplayer services, but the gamespy system is absolutely horrendous. surely there is a market for a much more efficient provider to compete with gamespy which actually works without causing so many problems? from my experience of the convoluted user side of gamespy, i dread to think what their back-end systems are like for those that dare to integrate. |

I've officially given up on this now. They were so close to perfection after two patches it hurt. Now everytime they do something, it breaks something more.
Ho hum, hopefully after 2142 we'll get BF3 which will build on the design they have for 2 (online persistent world with different theatres of engagement around the world would be awesome). Top 5 game of all time, sadly ruined. |

Because of all this you haven't played for the last month? This patch was only released on Tuesday. I'm sure EA/DICE will miss you greatly... |

I haven't experienced too many problems - the server browser going a bit nuts occasionally. Certainly not enough to stop me playing!

How the bf2 patching process works:
Person: zomgwtf this gun sux its not powerful enough Person 2: wtf is with the bunnyhoppin Person 3: Im sick of all those people who kill you at close range with nade launchers DICE: okay, we'll get rid of these problems! And put in loads of extra little glitches for good measure! Person: zomgwtf this gun sux its too powerful now Person 2: Why cant I jump repeatedly? Person 3: Why the hell dont my grenades launched from my gun explode at close range anymore? Person 4: OMG HELP GUYS MY GAME WONT LOAD ANYMORE Everyone else: THIS PATCH SUCKS |
