Patch 1.40 *Beta* feedack - Page 3

Fishbro2 · 12-08-2007, 10:19 AM

Well i don't have duel core CPU so that won't work.

Church1018 · 12-08-2007, 12:23 PM

*shrug* Maybe your ping or connection, then? How long can you play for before it happens?

Fishbro2 · 12-08-2007, 01:19 PM

I can play for about an hour before it disconnects.

also a message just came up saying that Punkbuster had a problem and needed to close. Don't suppose my two problems are related?

Church1018 · 12-08-2007, 01:43 PM

Not in my experience, but it's possible. Hmm. Maybe your connecton just spikes occasionally? Hard to think of a problem which would allow for an hour's play...is this every time you play, or occasionally? Is there a [maybe loose] pattern between the times of disconnects?

Fishbro2 · 12-08-2007, 01:56 PM

It's everytime i play but i can't think of any pattern. It just happens whether i'm in a vehicle or on foot.

Church1018 · 12-08-2007, 02:31 PM

I meant more with the times of day...maybe your ISP is busy during certain periods? Otherwise, I have no clue. Try EA support.

RanCorX2 · 15-08-2007, 01:05 PM

does anyone know when v1.40 is gonna be released? seems ages since the beta came out!

oraclegotblu · 16-08-2007, 03:53 PM

I was playing just now and lost the connection(damn long ears taking easter away from jesus) but a few mins before i saw this

The_Doctor · 18-08-2007, 12:47 PM

I double click on BF2142_Update_1.40.exe and the hour glass appears but thats all that happens. Any ideas how to fix this. I have 1.25 should i try the incremental?

Cheers

RanCorX2 · 18-08-2007, 07:16 PM

can we have an update on the v1.40 patch? is it still in testing? when it is going final?

Oops7322 · 19-08-2007, 01:07 PM

Im new to 2142 so let me get this straight should I install the 1.4 patch or the 1.25 patch?
I have the 1.4 patch installed but im seeing only a few servers?

Genesis. · 19-08-2007, 01:20 PM

The 1.4 patch is still in beta testing, therefore you will find only a few servers running it. You need to uninstall the 1.4 beta patch and install the 1.25 patch.

Oops7322 · 19-08-2007, 01:50 PM

Thanks m8

uninstalling as I type

AMFSook · 19-08-2007, 05:47 PM

Can we have an announcement or something on how the 1.4 patch is comming ???
maybe an ETA on when it will be released. i know people are dying for some bug fixes and the new map is just a bonus i guess.
Still lots of work to be done, i think people would prefer lots of little patches then waiting 6 months for stuff to be fixed and released.

Genesis. · 19-08-2007, 09:09 PM

We collected all the information that you have posted in this thread and on other forums, and have passed this onto the dev team. This however is an on going process and we will continue to pass all information onto the devs.

As for a date of release, I have no information as to when it will be finished or as to the contents of the patch. We will however keep you all posted on the progress as and when we get any information.

VectorRoll · 20-08-2007, 01:51 PM

I like the Map. I have noticed that the full beta works better than the incremental version. I still lose connection a bit. The latency of the servers jumps around a lot. If you update the server list you will notice that the some servers do not show up every time; yet the have people in them and they show back up on the list every other update. I was wondering if the servers that you are using for the beta's might be the problem and not the patch. It just a thought since the latency and fact that they do not show up all the time when updating.

All in all its a good map. It has a great set up. Good for sniping and armor. In fact all types of players should do good. I actually had the best score in a while last night. Made first place even, while playing engineer. I would have mad first place twice but the second time I lost connection at 20 kills. When I got back into the server I made another 14 kills to get back to 6th place. I bet I would have made first place in that game also if I did not loose connection because no one had over 30 kills that game; but I guess thats how it goes. It must have just been my night. I'm not the best player by far; but I had some real good luck.

Any ways; I can't wait until it hits live. I would like to try this with the masses.

VectorRoll · 21-08-2007, 11:18 PM

This needs to be fixed. I am not sure if it is already on your list.

RanCorX2 · 01-09-2007, 12:33 PM

not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but it really should be fixed in v1.40, on one of the titans there is a glitch, if you crouch next to a area of wall on the cargo bay (outside on the deck area) it's on the left hand side exit, you die! basically you crouch and move right against the wall you pass through it and fall through the titan and die. I only found this out by crouching and waiting to kill someone but moved against the wall and bam i got killed by the death wall!

TheEgel · 03-09-2007, 11:20 PM

i try to play with the new beta patch but i keep getting messages as
there is a problem with your connection.
and then i am off the server.
Then when i look at the server list the hole server is gone.
Its no fun to play like this.
It looks to me that the beta servers are not very stable.
And when i refresh the server list i got 3 and then 8 servers online it keeps on changing.

ps. forgive me for my english.

VectorRoll · 05-09-2007, 04:49 PM

Yep
Thats why I think most the problems with the Beta is the servers and not the patch. Their should only be a few differences. The obvious is the map file, then the auto save, also a few damage calculations. Their probably is a lot more supposed bug fixes.
All in all; if you look at the servers though you well see sporadic latency and active server list. Which to me points to server problems.

This is just my opinion though.

ASA5IN · 09-09-2007, 09:11 PM

I wanted to get to this when norhtern strike came out, but have been busy. As for me and proabably most other snipers, the max distance you are able to snipe from is way to short. a Assult guy is able to kill me with rockets, and sometimes bullets.I was wondering if dice could make a new rifle or make the rifle scope better in the next update.for once i would like to feel like a real sniper shooting from 2 miles away.

Second instead of making another highway map, i think there should be a jungle map like somewhere in Ethopia. jungle maps in my opinion have always been the best, and i have missed them ever since vietnam. because although there are semi good places to snipe on the map, there is no protection. al there is is shadow effects.BF2 has much better sniper maps. so i think the addons for sniper is useless unless you have some type of protection. so i would like to see buildings you can sniper from like in Airborne. I mean i see it in badcompany but you would not have to make a ne BF game every 8 months if you get it right the first time.

also, i wondering if you can speed up the reload on the bolt action rifle. in real life it take like a second to load a bolt action. everything else i think would be pretty realistic.

last but not not least is there a way to put limits on pod surfing.or was that orginally in the game design.

Church1018 · 09-09-2007, 10:14 PM

I wonder what the effect of an almost total global winter would have on the trees in a jungle climate...

ASA5IN · 10-09-2007, 03:57 AM

they would have no effect because ethopia is right by eygpt. and it is a dessert map. which i think ea needs to get away from. seriosly everly map is eaither frezzing or is in drougt. change it up a little.i understand the plot, but think outside the box for once. I mean i dont give a lalalala about the next bf, but when it mentioned destructable enviroment, i may have to buy 2 copies. im going to be AT and just blow everything until i knock down a building. but i dont understand how this would work considering there are spawn points. and wouldnt the spawn points get messed up.

anyway, next expansion pack nedd to be alot better, and i would like to be able to buy in stoes, instead of waiting 12h.s for a download.northern strike in my opnion was a little better for snipers but still a failure as far as upgraable weapons. only thing beneficial was the magnet granade, and support uav. every thign else was a blow. the sniper lalalala was dumb, because they still found me even when i used the signature becon just from the noise. so i thinknext update there shoudl be a silencer for snipers.

OF all i think EA, and cie hit it on the nail everyear except when it comes to AT and recon/sniper. pac guns are alot better then eu, which to me is a first. thw west always has better weapons.

ASA5IN · 10-09-2007, 04:00 AM

one thing i did not mention that known notices is that the pac missle luncher is guided. and it only stays up a couple seconds before reload. wondering if it was possible to expend the time when in scope position.besides that im fine.and suprsingly only likw 5 % of the people i talked to know its guided.i dont know if that is a glitch or what.

RanCorX2 · 11-09-2007, 11:49 AM

we any closer to a release yet?
