bc2 update released ppl

A new patch for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is headed to PC this weekend. The main thrust of the patch is to address stability and performance issues, but it will also remove the SecuROM wrapper from non-Steam versions of the game.
The large 2.6GB patch will be a one-stop update, as it includes all previous patches, though announcement notes that a smaller version for those who've already installed Client R10 was forgone this time in order to prevent the patch from being delayed. "We thought it better to release a larger patch now, than a smaller patch sometime in the future," the announcement notes.
At 4AM UTC on Wednesday morning, the patch will hit Steam's automatic distribution system. Non-Steam users should have access to the patch around the same time, via the game's auto-updater. Manual updates will also be possible. A link to the forums with instructions for users who installed the "Client R11 Public Beta patch" was also provided.
Here's the detailed list of fixes included in the upcoming patch:

-Removed some memory leaks
-Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or
multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users
-Chat window no longer causes lag spikes
-Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini
-Clantag is remembered when using auto-login
-Banner URLs can be up to 252 characters in length
-SecuROM wrapper removed from non-Steam version
-Minor performance enhancements
-Reduced rubberbanding on servers with more than 24 active players
-PrintScreen takes a screenshot, file stored in Documents\BFBC2\Screenshots directory

Bad Company 2's servers will also begin updating "starting at 4AM UTC on Wednesday," and "most of the servers should be updated and visible in the new game client's server browser" by the end of the day.
[Note: The information about patch size above has been changed to correctly indicate that the announcement does not confirm that a smaller version of the patch is in the works for those who had installed Client R10. -Ed.]


mines updating now

Known this was in the works for a while now, as I still regularly read the EA forums. However its too little too late IMHO, this patch should of been released months ago (if not longer) when the game was a lot more active and the player base was asking, in fact begging, for fixes.

Releasing it now just before BF3 launches just means they can say 'look we haven't forgotten about our BC2 players' ..... which is exactly what will happen when BF3 goes live mark my words.

Its a ploy to get people to play again and go for BF3..

Atleast they've fixed the lag issues, hope they've fixed the fkn guns resetting when you play Vietnam!

that seems like a large fix for a not very impressive list of fixes.

To be honest. Don't care

updated.......hey we'll still come and play bc2 after bf3 comes out for old times sake! maybe

If i play BC2 after BF3 then BF3 would of failed..

i noticed a 5-10fps increase

You know those words could be considered quite prophetic Bro, time will tell.

Its a fact tho, the game should be an improvement on BC2..

Should being the operative word mate, the game is more full of fags now than I have ever seen in ANY title previous I have ever played. And that includes fuckin DF2!

Oh and the good news ..... the hax sites already have the code from the Alpha tests and their paid for hax are ready to roll out for BF3 ON LAUNCH DAY. I am very rapidly giving up any hope on BF titles to be honest, so thats COD and BF going down the drain so basically if you want to play hax free FPS you best get yourself a fuckin console.

I suppose I did in a kind of back handed way, I assure you it was unintentional mate and merely a byproduct of my hatred for the way FPS games have been going lately. I still hate the little evil boxes with a pure and unadulterated hatred.

Couple of points mate, its not a pure FPS game in the strictest sense and its only just made it out of beta testing. The fact you haven't seen any faggotry doesn't mean it isn't happening or is about to happen at any point in the future.
