Battlefield 2 Patch

[SAS]

The 13MB Battlefield 2 patch 1.01 has been deployed...

Update Includes:

+ Fixed in issue that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.
+ Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu.
+ Fixed an issue with increasing performance degradation on servers.
+ Fixed a problem with shader caching on client/host : after the first map in a rotation, shaders would be loaded on the fly during gameplay.
+ Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB
+ Fixed a problem that caused environment mapping to not appear on reflective surfaces.
+ Fixed a crash that happened when a client picks up a kit that doesn't exist anymore.
+ Fixed a problem with AI when the game was paused for a long time: bots would become unresponsive and also shoot more accurately.
+ LOD distances tweaked on certain objects.

And the patch has now been withdrawn, at least for the UK servers run by Multiplay. EA's own announcement says they're working on a hotfix for the patch.

Time to reinstall then .

-Ath, who was making a .rar backup before applying 1.01, but it was going to take longer than just doing an install, so didn't bother in the end.

Oh for fucks sake - I was wondering why so few servers were my version. have ea not offered a removal tool? Reinstalling will be such a major pain :\
