14 meg? Pretty small really. How will this affect Euro Forces if I get it? I presume I'll need to reapply the patch.

Nope. The 1.2 patch was the EF patch. It's come out before Ef so we won't have to install something after EF (like SF)

what a load of **** they didn't fix the red lettering or the red blue name tag error, i'm gettin very sick of those ****tards very quickly

Pongo

I wonder when the patch to fix this patch will be out???

R0ot

Anyone else noticed any fixes? I was AT for awhile last night after the patch was installed every missle i fired hit its target without going through it, still a few problems with the AT kit though with actually firing the missle

Does it stay in target mode properly? Mine kept jumping in and out of target mode when I moved or fired in 1.2, couldnt aim the missile then.

Keyzer

How come the patches are always available elsewhere before they are available from the official site? Leaked ?

irlrobins

Well at least there's no prob downloading it this time. 100K+ connection from EA ftp.

Ponster

Yeah Keyzer, leaked as ever

There were about 25 beta testers who knew that it was coming out today so someone let it slip it seems.

JFI, this isn't the final version that the beta-testers tested. There was another patch with a higher version number but no idea what the difference between the patches would have been.

TheHairyFairy

If its on EA's FTP then it cant have been leaked.

Lucutus or myself will have the boards.ie server updated within 5 mins of the ranked server patch coming out.

Fairy

If we install this and the servers are not patched up yet will we not be able to play. Should I wait a while till in install it?

Just before I went to bed last night one of our guys on TS said that he had found the server side patch on the EA site . I was supposed to go check it out but at that stage the eyes were closing so i have no link .

I imagine that the ranked server patches should be out before this evening.

spooky donkey

I shall wait a bit before I patch so, at least untill the boards.ie server gets it pathed, my new Fav server.

Dcully

Think ill wait also until Project reality release their fix for patch compatibility.
My God PR totally owns BF2 vanilla.

Irish Mirror for the patch:

Ponster

The 1.21 server patch has AT and claymores 'FF OFF' by default, just like before the 1.2 patch.

So if you want don't want to generate tk's for claymores and AT mines then admins will need to set 'sv.friendlyFireWithMines 0' on the server.

Errr...you can't download patches for ranked servers

Didn't know that ( there's a lot I don't know actually ) . So those patches on my post are for unranked only then ?

GreeBo

The red/Blug tag thing is shocking.
And its not just at the tag level, I shot someone the other day from my own team, he had a red tag but I wasnt convinced he was enemy so I checked his name on the teams and he was actually listed on other team.
At that point I killed him and the whole "WTF are you at" messages started

I'm with you, it really ruined my game last night

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're unranked only. The ranked server files are sent direct to the Truster Partners (365gaming.ie for our board)

TheHairyFairy

Aye ranked server patches are sekrit. Servers updated.

Had I stopped for a second and thought about it then I would have seen how obvious it was that the ranked version wouldn't be released to the general public .

Ponster

Fairy, is each server patch tagged in such a way that if a ranked server patch was released to the public that EA could tell who leaked it?

Lucutus

Yes Ponster, we had to forward your IP to EA for re-Nedufication. Sorry m8.

Ponster

Damn !


Oh well, I'll just have to use my BF2RS Level2 admin access now won't I? : p

Pongo

Well they haven't fixed that weird underground distance meter thing.... Just had a quick game there, not too sure about the other fixes...

Talk about lazy smacktards, anyone notice any big changes yet or have they even worked

One change that I noticed straight away was that shortly after you die your mines disappear .

haha..I feel like I'm following you around today jonski


When you die you leave a kitbag where you were shot down. It'll stay visiable for about 30 seconds once you respawn. As soon as the kitbag disappears all mines, ammo bags, medic bags, claymores, C4 that you dropped in your last life will disappear.

If you manage to spawn where you were killed and pick up your old kit with the 'g' key then they won't disappear

Always trust the models. If the graphics say he's friendly, be damned to the tags or score board. I have never once seen the graphic model be wrong.

just downloaded off tig in a matter of seconds... so thanks tig!

anyway, reading here and other forums, seems no one actually noticed any difference at all. all the same bugs seem to exist. patch 1.22 anyone?
