BF2 Patch 1.5 beta is knocking at the door...

[cyberzomby]

So the more than 2 gigs will be automatic? Kinda newb question I agree but I just want to make sure Im not hoping for stuff that dont need any fine-tuning once 1.5 gets here. like instal a tool to get BF2 to use the 2 gigs? Thats how it is now right? So with 1.5 it doesnt need that anymore.

No

"Its incremental from 1.41.
So either update to 1.41 or if you have Battlefield 2 Complete Collection from EADM you'll be ready to update from there. "

maybe they added all these awful expansions for free

Bleh, they should pay US for playing those terrible things. Iron gator? The deck is a chopper spawn rape fest.

Why cant we play with 128 players?

I mean, where is the code that says that?

Is it Client or server issue?

Cant we like open the game in "windowed" mode, or track the "Code" to find out where it is, that executes "Kick player 65"?

is that possible? and how did AIX add so many bots into the game?

I don't know, but a PR server already did it. I'm sure of it, I saw a server called Rubber ducky. They don't do PR anymore, but they HAD the secret unlocked. I don't know if they ran out of money or what, but their server mysteriously died after a few games. I heard that 132 players was possible and had been done before. I've played in an 80 player PR room with great ping. I don't know about instability, but +64 is possible somehow.

I'll be glad when I see it hasn't broken anything else.

The rationale for no 128 player support is pretty stupid, much like the only people that'd actually complain if it were ridiculously unstable as they seem to think it may do. Like space said they could easily say it was unsupported and take no responsibility for anything adverse which may happen, something I'm sure alot of more reasonable players and modders would be happy with.

Yeah, well I am not going to install it, but I´m curious what does it change. I read somewhere that there is something untold still.

Maybe 128 players (damn I wish, but I know it´s not going to be that )

It can be done!
I'm not crazy!!

Nice one! So with the update we dont need to fumble with travis's fix anymore?

Acceleration by scroll-wheel hmm? Sounds good for patrolling in urban settings! Looks like DICE IS listening to the players! Especially with the 2 gigs and up restriction!

Oh well thanks I'm sorry if it was fumbling you butter fingers

): they could have at lest told me they where using my fix I wouldn't have ever new if some one had not posted about it.

(: well at lest I contributed to 1.5

It can be done... illegally. Then they left because it was illegal i guess?

So er...

What's in this 1.5 patch and how would it help PR?

Sorry man... I think im just a perfect example internet user. I want something as soon and as easy as possible. I just didnt yet looked in to installing it. But when I looked at the post explaining it, it looked pretty hard for what it did. Seeing I do use my full-screen just not in correct aspect ratio. Didnt mean it that way ops:

Deviation when going prone, better hit registration, support for Widescreen, mousewheel acceleration for APCs and Jeeps (don't know if those last ones are gonna be used though).

[Expendable Grunt]

Nah, the mousewheel thing was just fixing an exploit. The mouse wheel wheel will NOT be able to change gears or set speeds in a vehicle.

so anyone have an estimation of when this patch will FINALLY come out? (not as a beta)
