it appears there's been another patch while we were asleep...not much in the changelist there though! For 280Mb I expect at least 1 new map or something!!!
Anyone got a better http or ftp link, or a bittorrent link?
Cool more weapons ;o)
arnt we on 1.3 already, now its 1.12??? :blink:
Well I couldn't get on TG last night,"You are running a different version to server". So I assume the patch needs applying to the base BF2 install. <_<

Nope. We're on patch 1.03. Everyone just calls it 1.3 to confuse you. :narnar:
The BF2 Special Forces expansion is essentially BF2 v1.1
So when is it going to be applied to the server? Do I need to download it for tonight?
# Removed the Grappling Hook and the Zip Line from kits from "The Iron Gator" map.
This relates more to the SF-pack - or will we get the hooks and stuff in the regular BF2? anyways... downloading and looking forward to testing it :D
do we need this patch to play "normal" BF2? or only if we intend to get BF2SF - because I don't really want the S files clogging up my hdd until I choose to purchase the expansion ... or not as the case may be

You don't "need" the patch (at least until our server is patched) which I guess will be this weekend or once we have confirmed it won't screw up AAS ;)
I've just read that whereas patch 1.03 was ludicrous enough in requiring 1.5GB disk space on the SYSTEM partition (regardless of where BF2 was actually installed), the new patch needs 3GB(!) free space.
Be warned! Installation may not be all that easy. :angry:
have just tried to connect to dmw.... "you have a newer version than the server"
so it dont work with the server :sad: good thing im on nights for the next week
Admin: if you do update the server will you let us all know

*Happily no longer having broadband I am forced to wait until I move house on Friday before sampling the delights of this wonderful patch.
*No, life without broadband is not happy but I must remain cheerful and take solace in the fact that the new place is about 500 yds from the exchange :ph34r:

I hope you mean it requires the 3Gb during installation and that afterwards it will only have used up space in the BF2 install drive?
p.s. to get a quicker download...gamershell had some good links, particularly the 2000mbit in sweden...got it downloaded at work inside 6 minutes, burnt to cd to take home, and attempt an install
Having checked up we will need to install a newer version of BF2CC Daemon (which gives us remote admin access) before we do this otherwise we'll lose RCON to the server from BF2CC.
Admins will also have to get the new BF2CC Client
Additionally, to support this patch and BF2:SF we will need to get the updated dedicated server files and install them too. In short I'm fairly sure we will not be doing this before the weekend unless OB has time coz I haven't this week :(
Not sure yet about AAS mod, still trying to find out if we need a newer version.
Will keep you all posted.

Yep. The installer is coded
really poorly, and checks to see if you have 3GB free on your SYSTEM partition, before it will patch your BF2 files which could be on an entirely different partition (or disk even) that has plenty of space.
To install 1.03, as I didn't have the necessary 1.5GB space free, I remember I had to break out Partition Magic and up my C: (SYSTEM) partition size from 8GB to 10GB just to get the damn installer to finish. A completely pointless exercise IMHO as my Games partition (where BF2 actually was) had over 10GB free on it at the time... :eyebrow:
In a word... sloppy. And I'm surprised EA/DICE have cocked up by not only doing it again, but by also doubling the free space requirement. :thumbsdown:
OB and I are hoping to upgrade BF2 server tonight.
Will post if we manage without setting fire to the place :)

Looking forward to here how that works out... because I have been a bit quick and updated as well :rolleyes: :blush:
Does anyone have a link to a faster host? I'm getting 15-17kB/sec so it'll take most of the night :(
with the new website coming soon. could we have a pw'ed section for patches?
Server patched and running with AAS but needs to be tested.

Sorry, but we cannot abuse Hi-Velocity's generosity by taking more bandwidth than we need to.
Torrent (http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=bf2_patch_112.exe)
Get a BitTorrent client installed Sn00ks. :D
I like BitComet (http://www.bitcomet.com/).

How is the new look webby going anyway :D
Downloading as we type: 110 kb/s <_<
good links for bf2 1.12 downloads...
http://www.gamershell.com/download_11615.shtml (http://www.gamershell.com/download_11615.shtml)
I used the 2000mbit server from sweden ... worked a treat ... took under 6 minutes :D
Many thanks for that download link instead of over four hours to download it , it will take about 40m mins ( a big diffrence ) can any one tell me if it makes any big changes in the game ?
Is there a problem with this patch it keeps saying my patch has failed help !!!!!

You may have to re-download it - you could have a corrupted file.

so far ... not noticed anything ... other thanflags failing to capture on the TG server (joy) so perhaps they introduced more errors rather than fixed any... :unsure:
So whats the general concencus?
Do I need to install this patch to play on the dMw server and is it worth it? I've noticed that I can't get on many other servers already, so I guess I have no choice.
Anyone got SF yet? Paddy's and mine should be hear tomorrow or today :dribble:
