New Client

Bazajaytee · 29-01-2010, 04:14 PM

A new BFBC2 PC Beta client is on its way.
Don't worry it is a new painless process and will not be a massive 1.4Gb download again.
Watch this space for information on fixes and how to go about getting the RC2 Client.

The RC2 contains the following fixes:

Front end:
Fixes server browser crashes. Server browser more resilient against corrupt online service data, and better support for large number of servers.
Several server browser ping issues resolved.

Windows XP stability:
Fixed crash on windows XP at end of round, exit game and display mode changes and.
Proper window style / mouse confinement when starting game maximized on XP .

Options dialog:
Mouse sensitivity setting gives more effect.
Mouse sensitivity loaded on game startup.

The update to RC2 will be 8.4Mb

When you next start BFBC2 you should get this message (Steam users can update through Steam). If you have trouble updating by running the game itself go to \Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2 - BETA and run BFBC2BetaUpdater.exe as Administrator.

Nice to hear

What the hell is the point of the BC2 Updater application, if it cannot update the current client?

This is a very very weird way to be doing this baza..

Who said the BC2 Updater isn't how you will get the client update?

"Watch this space for information on fixes and how to go about getting the RC2 Client."

The way I read it, meant that you'd be putting up a download link, guess I assumed wrong.

Bazajaytee · 29-01-2010, 04:22 PM

It will be during this evening yes.

not that you said it wasnt true updater but i can see how that part of your text can make people think so

that said i dno wich system i would prefer updater or url as updater will prolly overload

proMzlin0 · 29-01-2010, 04:22 PM

This will fix the problem when unable to join servers + ingame lag right?

Crazyw0lf · 29-01-2010, 04:23 PM

hope it fixes the unable to join bit

lag well i can live with that tbh for now anyways.... i havent even seen the game on my screen yet

S4r4c3n · 29-01-2010, 04:24 PM

God i hope the new client fixes my constant CTD, have yet to be able to play the game.

Great news.

rambokala · 29-01-2010, 04:25 PM

Will this fix the "Connection to game server has been lost" problem? It lets me play for 3-5 mins and throws me out of the game giving this message.

ohshutup · 29-01-2010, 04:25 PM

As long as it fixes the lag and stuff I'm happy, so you can focus on the gameplay stuff next.

*cough field of view*

tedrodgers · 29-01-2010, 04:25 PM

so long as it fixes the erver browser issue thats great for starters, atleast we will be able to get in a game and choose our servers. awesome!

Thank you sir and much love to DICE you beasts!

Xlinkcee · 29-01-2010, 04:30 PM

I want to give a big thank you to you guys at DICE for your support. Have you had any sleep yet.

tedrodgers · 29-01-2010, 04:32 PM

if the level of support and quickness of patches continues like this i think we'll be in for a very successful beta. after the complete farce that modern warfare 2 has been for us pc players lets hope this makes a welcome change!

Bazajaytee · 29-01-2010, 04:32 PM

Think we have some programmers running on Red Bull and Monster at the minute

DJ_Casper007 · 29-01-2010, 04:33 PM

DICE, no delay in Steam?

Thnx for RC2. Can you tell the exact time of waiting since this moment as I'm not in your timeline (worlwide)

slash3rNL · 29-01-2010, 04:34 PM

will there be a fix for the people who cant join a server and get "connection to the server has been lost"
Because i want to play this so badly!

gloutch · 29-01-2010, 04:34 PM

May I suggest that only DICE people write here so we don't have to read 10 pages of "I've been waiting for that patch since yesterday" and then 10 pages of "thanks for the patch" with the link to the patch lost in the middle of 1000s of messages ?
