I don't think that means anything, does it? If that person who posted it has EF installed already, the patch would update it. I have the big DVD set with everything BF2, so if I applied the patch, that directory would appear for me too.

Funny how I ninja'd my own answer.

So any news about affects on PR? Devs? I trust you that your working 24/7 on it...

(sorry for my bad english)
I ve just installed 1.5 beta patch.I tried on PR and apparently it "works".
I mean, of course i can't connect on any servers ( not the same version error ) but i could play a training map in "solo".I ran a few test ( run,aim,take a AT kit, shoot a AT round, drive a Supply truck etc. ) and it goes well.
But i don't know if it works for server side.
I hope for a PR fix for server !

-Don't update until it's been checked out and any issues fixed u n00bs...

[PichetGoulu]

Yes i know , i've done a backup before, i 've just wanted to know if it works.
And i guessed that it could interest someone here.

So, the 1.5 patch got sponsored by this Falcon gun thing device?

New map is very "shitty":


Typical vanilla style with (of course) vanilla gameplay.
One thing good is that you do not need your BF2 CD anymore.
And I hope they will fix the server-crashes.

who in their right mind(s)* would buy one of those falcon things??

no realism at all, it would be a bit heavy to hold in a weaver stance for more than 5 minutes

...One thing good is that you do not need your BF2 CD anymore...

Really? That is indeed some good news

[BloodyDeed]

Yeah really, works perfect without a CD.

Yeah really, works perfect without a CD.

Nice! I can finally take my second CD drive out of my computer that held my BF2 CD for the last 3 years. Most of my games are from Steam so I really don't swap CDs very often.

A that and official widescreen and vista support are the key selling points for me than

[bosco_]

It's not real widescreen support. It's just a weird kind of stretching.

If it still works, I'd say so.

Mind you, I've only heard it from players who have tried the patch already.

[Mora]

Widescreen fixer doesnt work anymore. And im unable to join any server
