*UPDATE* Client update 523648 is available NOW

MikaelKalms · 21-03-2010, 08:10 PM

It’s cleared QA for both non-Steam and Steam.

This is a small update for a bug that was found the same day that we released the previous patch.

Changes:
• Server browser downloads 100 entries instead of 500 in a chunk – this makes the “Cancel” button more responsive
• Fixed crash during server browser refresh
• Low-level networking library switched back to the optimized version (the game client was temporarily running with one that had more debugging logic in it)
• Localization fixes in the scoreboard
• Server browser ping handling code modified

UPDATE: Patch is live as of 2010-03-22 16:13 GMT.

Wow, thnx Mikael! Will there be a new optimization patch with DLC on the 30 of March?

MrButtocks · 21-03-2010, 08:15 PM

Thanks!

josHdeV · 21-03-2010, 08:16 PM

At least they are doing for our effort instead of sitting and laughing as you did

CrazyMateFTW · 21-03-2010, 08:17 PM

I/We want a patch for server browser that lets you filter HC servers

DMUniBoNGeR · 21-03-2010, 08:18 PM

How about fixing the auto balance and server browser not showing PB servers correctly?

Sevada88 · 21-03-2010, 08:18 PM

I have the latest patch but in the bottom right corner it says that I have version 519874. I am sure I have 522175 because 1. the update history log says so and 2. the changes of 522175 have been applied to my game.

So, will I still be able to update to 523648?

You mean improved network code and a crash fix wouldn't make it more enjoyable?

75 is reported as 74 in game, so yes.

Whats this supposed to mean? We will get better ping to server or something?

And the usual question - any word on auto balancing and team cap?
I think the autobalancer fail to switch players that are in squad and that causing the malfunction in the auto balance feature.

Power2ouse · 21-03-2010, 08:20 PM

They are doing short little patches which allows them to get fixes out quickly and less overhead costs.

Its a patch for the day 1 patch...

Borlag · 21-03-2010, 08:22 PM

You'd prefer those issues to remain there rather than get fixed?

No, I don't have 522174 in the splash screen, I have 519874 which is the previous patch. But I know for sure that my game has been patched to the latest version.

Baby steps but good steps. HOPEFULLY, this ends my near 3 weeks nightmare of of constant hard freezes.

Guess they'd prefer some mega patch that'd miraculously fix everything all at once. Too bad for something like that you'd have to wait for ages, which of course is also unacceptable to these people.

Patience is something that gamers are lacking nowadays.

GeneratorOfChaos · 21-03-2010, 08:26 PM

Thanks Michael.

llewyn · 21-03-2010, 08:27 PM

I have always suspected the server browser as the culprit for my crashes. LOYD , lets hope if fixes the CTD or hardlocks ups

SUZK · 21-03-2010, 08:28 PM

what about right now no one can get on ea servers lol

what are they doing?fixing the minor bugs instead of major ones.I'll be happy I could play at all with or without glitching cancel button. @llewyn I was really hoping next patch/update will fix this issue.
