Beta Patch v1.5 Feed Back

[VectorRoll]

Now that the Beta Patch v1.5 is here. DICE will be needing some feedback when we all get started with it.

So please use this thread for Feedback on the Beta Patch v1.5, in order for Dice to know what issues need to be looked at.

Sorry, if it is too early to ask, but are there Linux-Server Files for the 1.50 Beta in sight.

Our private Warserver has to be patched then to get through the next wars.

Or will it be available after the Beta-Phase is finished?

Greetings -=HGM=-H31180Y

I've sent an email regarding this, but got a response back stating that their main email contacts are being bounced due to "high load". :-/

No PB kick messages are being displayed if kicked. For some reason the PB services wont start for me, **** knows why, but you're just kicked from the game with out a reason. Going back to 1.41 it give an error about comms failures. Reinstalling PB Services fixes it.

Well I'm still downloading (go North America!!) and while I was browsing the changelog I didn't notice any changes on the G36E other then the HUD. I thought it was obvious but I guess not. The G36E is too powerful, it can out snipe a sniper and kill in 1 burst. Nerf please? (As for the G3 I know its powerful too but the lack of ammo and the ability to heal yourself makes up for it)

The Tab for the "Falcon" controller, in the properties area, should be removed, if the controller isn't installed. It's a bit confusing seeing such a huge area to adjust something I don't use.

when i press join server (or double click on server line) i get crashed to the desktop.
what i need to do with this?

Feedback on the map

Texture on the sand bags doesn't seem right, very shiny reflective surface, don't look like sandbags.

I am not sure if you are interested in Windows7 based testing, but this is what happens here:

SystemInfo:

• Windows build 7077 (UAC = ON)
• :: DXDiag ::

TestCycle:

1. clean installation of Battlefield 2
2. installed SpecialForces
3. installed 1.41 patch
4. installed EuroForces
5. installed ArmoredFury
6. installed 1.41 patch again as requested by BoosterPacks
7. reboot PC
8. started BF2
9. configured online account - ::my settings::
10. restarted Battlefield 2
11. selected a server in serverbrowser -> join server
12. 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!

Heh...on ATi 4870 X2
Catalyst 9.4

Please do NOT bug Windows 7. While they are valid issues and we know there will be problems with this OS and Punkbuster will kick for it.

Linux will be released to RSP's in the morning and then to public later in the Beta.

PB, make sure you get all updates from Evenbalance website including pbsvc.exe

[FrankCastleITA]

It doesn't even start the game with the patch.

XP32, following error occurs:
"Impossibile attivare un modulo di sicurezza richiesto.
L'applicazione non può essere eseguita (5023)."

It seems a SecuROM error.

PB is updated.

[M0t0rBreath89]

U.S. Link for anybody who is still downloading. This is way faster!! http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/ma...d=54&linkid=91

[PlayazOnly]

Good that its just a beta so we can find all bugs and glitches before final yayy.

[GamersCrib]

Please do not change the time allowed from jumping to going prone!!!!! REVERT this back!! There is no need to listen to people cry about "dolphin diving" when this is something you can do even in real combat situations. The current time of .3 seconds was fine... do not raise this up! There is no reason to even adjust or change anything to do with the game play besides fix the bugs. I'm sure there will be some that will disagree but this is valid feedback and is ruining some very fast paced defensive action when playing as infantry.


Again.... please change this back to what it was before the patch goes final!!!! Thankyou!

I realy realy dont understand why its so hard to improve the FOV (Field of View)

I know you guys say you need to code the hud and everything new.
But why can a small tool like the "widescreenfixer" improve the FOV and EA/Dice not?

So my wish/feedback list after 2 hours playing:

Negativ:
- The "widescreensupport" didnt improve the FOV
- The Americans should have on the Map Operation Blue Perl one more APC.
- Sometimes it isnt possable to connect to servers
- Still the Infantry has way to much nades! 2 max 3 Nads would be fine.
- Crashes while you change the settings of the Falcon somtimes.
- Improve: A black hawk on US site on the Map Blue Perl


Positiv:
- You imporved the hitregestration (Great job!!!)
- J10 Vs F35 is better but not as we wish (still it isnt near as fair as f35 vs mig)
- Great New China City map. I realy realy like it esspecialy the center of the City

Well i will keep on searching for bugs now i hope this feedback will help us to improve Bf2

[SantaBJ]

Baza, are you saying we shouldn't try the patch on Windows 7 systems? That's unfortunate... (as I got PB to work for me on Win7 x64 a couple of weeks ago...)

From Strike At Karkand to Nades At Karkand. Finally another person who agrees with me about the nade spamming

Operation Blue Pearl
Good and fun map but very unbalanced in the beginning and slow. It also feels like its to much Obstacles on it and Im missing some cars and I think thats why the map feels slow.

Some fixes that should be done
- When you proning with your head into walls you are almost immortal against nades
- When someone is sitting in F2(second seat) in for exemple cars you can't spot them as commander.

Good job with the hit detection!

I found the solution of the conflict:
- Y.A.S.U.: if you have that application running, shut it off and it'll work fine.


Anyway, I discovered something else:
- a graphics glitch on the new map: http://digilander.libero.it/m4puni/screen001.jpg

8800GTX, latest Forceware: 182.50 WHQL.


and I have a question:
- is it still necessary to put -widescreen 1 as a command line for 16/9 + 16/10 users?

Everyone gets 3 grenades.... not sure why anyone is complaining about that. If anything you should complain about those playing support gaining assist points from throwing them more ammo...but again its part of the game and how it is.. adapt to the conditions.

The most important thing here that I've seen on the whole patch is to revert the time from jumping to going prone..the .3 second time was more than enough and left the defensive tactic alone when used properly.

Also you can find a torrent to the download on this link

Purly my own opinion but please dont switch the falcon as the secondary default for planes 'n stuff, leave the default .con settings as they are. (I know they're partnered with EA now, but come on)
