Actually the 1.05 patch was released on the 17th

 

It fixes some of the more annoying things and it's semi-workable now but far from the easiest game to host. We keep hoping UBI will get their act together but they seem to be going in the opposite direction..

[JasonF]

Agreed. I never offered it because of the million issues it gave clients: no grenade sounds, no rcon commands, crashing more than BF2 v1.3, punkbuster cleaning out half the server on a kick command, sound loops, etc.

 

I will put up another server and see how it runs now. I read in the UBI forums the grenade sound issue is fixed and punkbuster is working better. Will have to see it to believe it though. Also I really would not call this STANDALONE DEDICATED SERVER. Since it is patch, you need an clean install to create the server so I can't see how they can use this term. UBI's definition of standalone dedicated server has always baffled me, they apparently have a different idea then the rest of the game dev companies.
