2 Comments

All being well in the world of the interweb, you should now be able to grab the latest Battlefield 2 patch - version 1.4 - from ye olde usual download sites scattered around the, ah, interweb. The patch contains numerous bug fixes - like, excitingly, and we quote, "Another attempt at fixing the Red/Blue nametag bug" - and a couple of gameplay tweaks that have to do with crouching and tossing.

Here's a full breakdown of v1.4's content:

BUG FIXES

Fixed the Linux server hangs when trying to load a Special Forces Co-Op map.
Another attempt at fixing the Red/Blue nametag bug.
Fixed the missing server info on the map briefing screen.
Fixed the server browser issues with updating info.
Fixed the filter by maps size option in the server browser.

Fixed the bug that caused the player's arms to become invisible when switching weapons.
Co-Op bot console commands now function on local servers.
Fixed the excessive damage taken by the Muscle Car.

Re-enabled unlocks on unranked servers.
Commander options are no longer available whilst commander is dead.

Added support for multiple game modes in single map list for mods.

GAMEPLAY TWEAKS

The vehicle drop has been modified to help prevent exploits such as blocking enemy vehicles, destroying vehicles and commander assets, or as an alternative to artillery.
C4 tossing distance has been reduced.
A prone->crouch delay has been added.
