I am not sure if you are interested in Windows7 based testing, but this is what happens here:
SystemInfo:TestCycle:- clean installation of Battlefield 2
- installed SpecialForces
- installed 1.41 patch
- installed EuroForces
- installed ArmoredFury
- installed 1.41 patch again as requested by BoosterPacks
- reboot PC
- started BF2
- configured online account - ::my settings::
- restarted Battlefield 2
- selected a server in serverbrowser -> join server
- after the loading was finished i moved the mousecursor to the "join game button"
RESULT: I ended up at the Server browser again. No error Message, nothing.
I did try all other available Servers, with exactly the same result.
using "Run as administrator" on the BF2 Shortcut seems to stop this issue.
I am able to join the game.
But after a few minutes (about 3), i again end up on the ServerBrowser, beeing not connected to any server.
No error messages, nothing.
I will re-test tomorrow on WinXP and Vista and post an update here.
Thank you very much DICE for the efforts you put into this patch!
