Thx to winters for super fast link

BATTLEFIELD 2: SPECIAL FORCES AND THE PATCH
- It is very important to remember that the Special Forces executable is an earlier version of the game.
If you have purchased Battlefield 2: Special Forces after you have installed the patch, you will need to reinstall
patch 1.2 after installing Special Forces.

- Dolphin Diving is no longer possible

- AA missile lock has been improved
- All support kit weapons have been adjusted
- All Sniper rifles have been adjusted
- Sa80 has been adjusted
- G3A3 has been adjusted
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.
- SCAR-L reload sound has been fixed
- Server setting to allow friendly fire to be off on mines without affecting other weapons.
- Server search filters now work properly
- Mines can no longer be destroyed with other explosives
- Bug in MP7 fire rate fixed. Ammo count increased and mag count and damage decreased
- Flash bang effect radius decreased
- Added unlocks for Sniper and AT kits
- Fixed a bug in terrain rendering with night vision, whereby terrain was still dark in dark areas.
- Fixed a bug whereby mods that are not bf2 or not xpack permutate shaders every time a level is loaded.
- Fixed a bug whereby non-xpack mods cannot use xpack shaders.

- The LAV25 no longer shoots through penetrable materials.
- Vehicles no longer disappear when viewed from some vehicles with a HUD (e.g. Tanks).
- Performance gain found in static mesh rendering.
- Detonation radius from grenade launcher explosions has been reduced.
- Grenade launcher projectiles now have a minimum distance.
- Decreased Flashbang count from 4 to 3
- Replaced the existing Czech Flag with the correct one in the front end


EXPANSION OF RANKS
- Ranks have now been expanded to allow for players to rank up to General


NEW FEATURE
VISIBLE UAV
- The UAV that is placed by Commanders will now include a visual element. An actual UAV will appear within the
UAV detection radius and circle the area. Players will be able to shoot it down, bringing the UAV detection to a premature end.
The Commander will be able to continue placing UAVs once the timer resets, as per current design.


KNOWN ISSUE
ATI CROSSFIRE CARDS
- Crossfire cards with 256 Megs of memory, running in CrossFire mode will run out of memory at very high resolution settings.
On very high resolutions, such as 1920x1440 with 6x antialiasing. In CrossFire mode the ATI drivers are more restrictive
about where resources are allocated, and as a result run out of memory sooner than with a single board. This running out of memory causes
the device context creation to fail. The result is that the game just sits in a loop with a black screen. If you experience a context creation failure
change your resolution to a lower setting (e.g. 1024x768 or even lower).

I can tell you that a lot of people are not very happy about the patch being leaked. I will update the mirror once its offically released asap and will post here to say so.

I'm in dcu atm so havnt had a chance to test it out. However if you have it installed and can give it a go try playing on the tig server at ph33r.theirishguard.com:16567. There are a good few people shooting around on it atm.

Vegeta

i'm at bloody work, yeah I heard threats of wiped accounts and all that but i'd say its just hype

What are the new weapons like ??????

There is currently no scheduled release time or date for the 1.20 patch.

While it has cleared final testing and is being prepared for release, it has not been uploaded or distributed yet.

Until you see a link posted by either EAUK_Sentience or myself on this forum you are at your own risk. Be aware that there have already been incidences of users posting fake patch files on this forum, so the simple guideline, as ever, is that unless you see it posted officially, it's not real.

We appreciate that there is a significant amount of anticipation regarding the patch but at this time there is no further news.

We will continue to update this thread as we have further news.

Guys, does anyone know of a dl link for the older bf2 patch that isnt going to take 2 hours to dl ? This one was so fast, was hoping there was a fast one for the older patch, must be 1.1?
Cheers.

Berns

Might be better just gettin the full 1.2 patch. However there should be another patch in near future, just dunno when

Ok, bit confused, i dl'ed the patch from the link on this thread, it was about 80megs. Is that all i need? Iv just formatted and reinstalled so i just have the basic BF2 installed. I remember having to dl like a 200meg patch a few weeks ago .

jesus_thats_gre

Anyone got a decent mirror of this? Cant get more than 20kb of EA and darned if I can find anything that I dont have to register for.
