BF2 1.2 PATCH kills PRMM

DEDMON5811 · Post by **DEDMON5811** » 2006-02-14 21:53

Ok so I know there Is a couple other posts But I can tell you that I tried everyway to get the current prmm to work with the new patch too no avail.

DO NOT PATCH bf2 if you want to currently play prmm. I would also recommend not patching just because the patch isnt all that great. I played around with it and I wasn't very impressed. Yeah you can no longer shoot when jumping. Hooray but that was probably the most impressive thing. The Uav's are cool as well but not all that exciting.

Patch if you must but I tell you it sucks. I would rather to continue playing great games of prmm than vanilla with a new patch anyday!!!

Thing is, with me, I need to patch. To not do so would mean I would not be able to join my friends in the Sir. community, and i'm currently filming so that would be disastrous.

We need word from DEV team...
Are u going to release soon fix to play with 1.2 patch installed?
Or rather we shall not to patch and wait for 0.3... if so give us rough ETA please...

i agree with the sentiments here, but i've been forced into it as I play for a clan that plays bf2 vanilla in matces, ladders etc

though the arrival of the patch should speed up .3's development?

Damn, I just installed this, and I don't really feel like completely uninstalling and reinstalling BF2. The Devs need to get on this quick, as most people are not going to put off updating. Now I'm basically stuck without PRMM until the Devs do something. This is screwed up.

I get a CTD every time I run PRMM. Come on guys, can we please get this fixed?

I know, this is a serious issuie. I really hope they can at least make a hotfix for this problem, like maybe it's something simple that they can fix easily with just a quick download, as opposed to releasing the .3 version.

Gah, this is not good, so I can't play project reality.

Well, at least the patch did one awsome thing for me: I can play all the maps without punk buster jumping all over me about "modified content."

As far as the patch goes, it's alright. The AA is overkill though. There is nothing that can get past it. It was insane that I shot a jet that was flying close by and was perpendicular to me and the missle made an ninty degree turn in maybe a 2 inch radius to hit the jet. It looked it simply changed direction rather than turning.

So now BF2 sports magic missiles huh?

Hehe, too bad they don't do the 1d4 + 1 damage they are supposed to do.

easy fix...........

Backup/copy your entire BF2 directory, rename it BF2Copy, run PRMM from that directory, Patch the Standard Directory

Problem solved, unless you have a small HD, then your problem is bad to begin with

Is it possible to install the patch to a different directory then copy the new or updated files into the bf2 directory? If it is then there’s a tool called JSGME.exe that is used to quickly backup the original files and move the new files in. or move the new files out and restore the backed up original files….with just the click of a button

I use it for other games like Rome total war, where I can change the version of the game or switch between mods without having multiple installs

Great tip! I'm copying as we speak.

I'm glad I can do both.

Ehhhhh I'm just gonna wait for a hotfix, I think, especially since most people like me have already crossed over and the servers aren't doing so hot from what I hear.

I'm sure it is, but you would have to find out exactly where every individual file goes.

Personally, I'm just going to play Vanilla SP, and wait for a fix. I heard from a Public Relations member that the Developers are working on a fix for the problem, and it should be out soon.

that being the case then i think i'll do the same. it will be good to remember why i stopped playing the vanilla MP and moved to Reality
