BF2 1.5 Patch, any news?

[Creed3020]

I heard that a BETA client patch was released today for BF2, does anyone have word on a server patch?

[Brandon]

The beta is only being hosted by a few selected hosting partners for the time being. They want to make sure they get enough feedback before releasing it to the public. But by then I am sure they will be releasing the full patch.

[Creed3020]

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I have been out of the BF2 loop for too long.

[KingJ]

I wasn't even aware that EA where planning a 1.5 patch, I thought they had abandoned it a long time ago.

 

Might just have to reinstall the game for this, it is one of my all time favourite games.

I dont think this patch is about to fix problems its more about bring sudden day for BF2 funs as they announce BF3 ,thats what I think as BF2 fun after I tested beta Patch 1.5 ,and yes I am back on 1.41 again lots of people even dont want to try new beta relesaes,so much about EA and keeping BF2 alive

Just use the dedicated installer for the 1.5 unranked server. Remove the files that are already in place for the client installs like default profile etc.. and use it as a patch.

 

Don't forget to update the modmanager.con

 

We didnt use touched files for this one. We made patch packs as described above. I would post it but I am sure mine is missing alot of what you want since our TCA config creates alot of these files and I had to redo my cfg's

So they aren't coming out with a new one then? I just had a request for this. Thanks for the update

After Patch its giving an error after BF2CC loads and it goes to launch the server.

 

I loaded 1.41 Patch then 1.50 patch and I made sure it didnt overwrite some of the TCA files and it says the following

 

Debug Assertion Failed

 

C:/dice/projects/bf2branches/patch_1_50/code/bf2/game/gameserver/gameserver.cpp

 

Reason server trying to use unauthorized ranking services

 

Its acting like it wont accept our IP range for ranking but it runs fine ranked on the old version any ideas?

You need to add the stuff from 2142 commandline now >>

 

EI..

 

+provider xxxxx +region US +type 1 -ranked

 

Also take the provider.sec file from the python/bf2/stats folder in 2142 and use it in the same location in the new BF2.

 

Read the Ranked mailers bro..

 

your really best to use the ranked server installer V1.5 they provided, add the mod manager files and provider.sec file and edit the cmd line.

 

here is a link to the UNRANKED V1.5 installer

If you don't have the ranked one don't ask me ..

[ptadmin]

We were not a ranked provider for 2142 does that matter?

How did you manage that ? They give you BF2 ranked but not 2142 ranked. lol.

[ptadmin]

Its EA, For BF 2142 they hand selected and all the other providers got shafted

[HIS-MOTHER]

How did you manage that ? They give you BF2 ranked but not 2142 ranked. lol.

 

Thats correct, alot of BF2 ranked hosts did not make the 2142 list. You'll need to contact them then and get a provider ID assigned and that file as it is specific to each host im pretty sure.

[ptadmin]

So on this new patch did they only allow the providers from 2142?? We can run ranked old versions no problem when we update to new patches it acts as if we are not a ranked provider for Patch 1.50 but we are a ranked provider for Version 1.1 and 1.4

 

Very weird

[Jaggl]

just contact EA, iam sure the will help fixing ur problem

[ptadmin]

We have been trying to, we have emailed the eliott-ness mailing list got no responses and I have a support ticket open with EA but those tickets usually go no where cause they never understand the nature of my questions.

[Azure890]

if we don't have the ranked one.. does the unranked version work with what was said above? Trying to do that right now.. and so far .. so.. still a work in progress
