Mini PR release with 1.50 patch?

[charliegrs]

If the new 1.50 patch breaks PR, then the devs will have to patch PR to work with it right? Or will the devs tell us to not patch vbf2, and wait for .9 pr? if its the former, then i was wondering, since PR will have to be patched anyway, would it be possible to include whatever goodies that are finished by the time 1.50 comes out into the patch? sort of like a mini PR release? I know the devs dont like to do small releases, instead opting to do larger more spaced out releases {which I think is a good idea} but like i said, they may have to patch pr anyway. I wouldnt care if it was even 1 new map, 1 new weapon or vehicle etc {maybe sangin? we can dream right} or maybe some kind of contribution from one of the community mods. It would give us something to look forward to from the 1.50 patch because im sure no ones holding their breath for 128 player support

Yep, the chances of BF2 v1.50 braking PR is around 90% based on previous BF2 patches, so we are planning to release a patch, even if it dont brake PR as we need to update a bunch of stuff quite urgently thou I wont go into that. But yes, we will also be including as many goodies as we can such as the WZ551A and the QJC-88 HMG that are all ready and good to go

We will of course try and fixe these bugs as quickly as possible to get PR working with BF2 v1.5 but until then, as always we advise players and servers not to update to BF2 v1.5 until we have confirmed it all works / released the hotfix.

Cheers

Are EA doing anything to prepare the mod community? or are you in the dark as much as the rest of the public?

Usual EA procedure is to simply unleash the patch on the public and let the modders sort it out later. Ah, I remember the good old days when the official posts warning "do not update BF2! You'll break your PR!" game thick and fast.

They have said that they will do a Open Beta of the patch before its released that will be released to the public, which should be a big help. But they may go back on that, and we have no idea on when they are planning on releasing this patch, most likely because they do not have a plan....

Many of us have tried contacting DICE though multiple channels with so far, no replies, no change there then, even after winning MOTY...

I think EA is just whiny because PR is better then vBF2


I hope we get to see some "hardcoded" issues code-able (caugh caugh insertYAYFASTROPEScommenthere)

If it destroys stuff to a really bad extent wouldn't the team be willing to keep the mod running off the 1.4 patch? There's not exactly many vanilla players amongst the mods clientèle. Or would that not be allowed under the EULA agreement etc?

unlikely but if it was that bad we would consider it, but I doubt it.

Someone should ask the patch team if they will make some more stuff happycoded or uncode then ?
