Thx Winters. The i3d.nl link I had was a little slow...

TheHairyFairy

Enjoy dropping vehicles and tracking back to where the fight is if you switch squads.

Game seems more optimized as well.

The fact that the game now remembers the last kit used between rounds is good enough for me

1.3 Change Log

ReadMe File

================================================== ==============================

================================================== ==============================
Patch v1.3
================================================== ==============================

NEW FEATURES

- Air dropped vehicles:
Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

- Co-op:
Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.

Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.

Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.

Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.

- Default Kit Selection:
The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.


BUG FIXES & GAMEPLAY TWEAKS

- Fixed issues with remote console and linux server

- Prevented ban list from being cleared in the event of a server crash.

- Fixed the bug where helicopters abandoned in the air would continue flying.

- Fixed issue with player not properly ranking up on servers where they continuously play.

- Flag Capture bar now reacts accurately to players entering the capture radius.

- Fixed a bug on Zatar Wetlands where AA missiles would not lock onto oil towers

- Fixed a bug that caused the Eurofighter explosion to appear as a Mig-29 wreckage

-
Armor Bar removed from occupied machinegun emplacements

- Fixed a bug on Kubra Dam and Zatar Wetlands that caused enemy AA sites to not display in bombing HUD

- Special Forces - Firing crossbow from open vehicle position causes others to see player weapon firing

Can anyone tell me the folder name that patches install to. Problem is i moved bf2 to my D drive last week or so and now when i try to install the patch it says ''can't find install folder''. So i was hoping that i could extract it into the said folder on d drive. Thx in advance.

KdjaCL

documents and settings/local/temp/34jhg2345g234hjg234hg234hjg234kjh2 but its still an EXE in there.

fightin irish

Thanks Kdjac. Much appreaciated.

projectmayhem

anyone tried the requesting vehicles yet? how is it?

i can't because of exams and whatnot... i haven't had a proper game in weeks now

Ponster

SL requests using the T button, the exact same way you can request supplies or arty. And just like before if your commander never listens to your requests for suppies then don't expect too many jeeps dropping from the clouds

The reload bar seems to be a LOT faster then the time it takes between 2 supply drops though.

Thanks for the patch info ponster but some nice chap called sean already posted them for me up on the 1st-ib forums. Who ever you are Sean thanks.

ALso our 1st-ib ranked does not have the patch we uasually leave it a few days to patch up see how the new patches pan out. And also this makes our servers busier as loads of people seem to not know about the pacth and come to our servers. our server will be patched up by next monday though. So for those that dont want to patch up yet ya can come on. The Ip is 217.146.92.74:16567

I'm back

I like the patch so far, doesn't appear they've messed with anything they weren't ment too, so its all good. Love the new squad thing, no more sqaud hopping biatchs! YAY! As for the vehicle drop thats a "meh" from me, saw one idiot drop a jeep on the roof at square on karky but an AT missile soone stomped that sh1t out.

Only problem with the patch ive seen (so far) is the multiplayer search screen, when i click on a server once to check its stats it give me the name of another server for some reason and keeps doing this. But besides that its all good.

DingDong

Anyone else having problems with it crashing to deaktop more than usual and the server update taking alot longer than normal.

fightin irish

The 'ol account login seems a bit hairy? And as root said earlier the multiplayer screen is a bit freaky at the mo. In fairness to EA these are auctally good complaints to have for a change.;)

I was having the same problem last night, started addding them to my favourites ( the ones that were populated) still can't connect to TIG though, the populated TIG's were in red and the empty TIG's was in green ( in gameppy ) but still couldn't connect to either

& yes It crashed back to windows 3 times last night (never did that before)
but i finally got a few games in between 8-late

Don't make fun of RAM/processor-challenged fellow BF2'ers - that trick does wonders on my D600 (tried BF2:SF on it last weekend, and yep - it runs grand :eek: ).

Well the server was fine and lag free, however some of the players where not. Started Karkand as MEC and grabbed the mec Tank. Brought it up to around square and killed the US tank straight away. Then I reversed back and jumped out and started to repair, at which point a BTC guy prompty jumped in and drive away in it. Sigh.

We then continually got pwned with a side that contained on average 1 squad with everyone else as lone wolfs. There was little team play at all.
