Title: BF2 = Monday night
Post by: OldBloke on October 16, 2006, 12:17:23 AM
BF2 was a big hit at the recent LAN and we want to try and re-kindle the interest we had previously in supporting BF2 on Mondays.

In an effort to get as many people onboard as possible we will be playing BF2+AAS to start with but please make an effort to download the PoE mod as it is an excellent addon to the game and will most likely be the mod of choice for BF2.

So I hope to see you all on the Meathook BF2 for some 'Road to Jellybelly' later on today. :thumb:

Not sure if it was due to my connection or EA...

If y'all get PoE installed the TG PoE server is pretty well populated in the evening for UK/Europe people. You could do a dMw squad or two, maybe.

The basic idea was to get the dMw server going again. Aaaand.....bloody good games tonight! :biggrin::dmw:

Brilliant game, really enjoyed Jalalabad. First time I played it and it was good. Reminded me of the halcyon days when BF2 was popular.
Could have done with a few more people but it was playable with the 6-8 we had.
Thought we lost it a few times but valiant sneaky sniping by our resident Kurtz (Doorman) defended the Hotel to stall their advances.
Thought me and oldie did quite well with just the two of us, but once Doorman joined we were unstoppable. :yahoo:  In a slow inevitable landslide type of way.

I may not be able to join you tonight. I went and patched to 1.41 the other day.
 
Isn't Meathook still running 1.4? :doh:
Title: BF2 = Monday night
Post by: outofsync on December 04, 2006, 12:21:25 PM
I think it's been patched now.
Title: BF2 = Monday night
Post by: Anonymous on December 04, 2006, 01:55:21 PM
No but it will be soon:

I'm downloading BF 1.41 Patch to server. Should be downloaded by 14:30 today. Will then update both servers on BA3 and the VOIP server on BA2.

So go get 1.41 if you don't already have it.
Title: BF2 = Monday night
Post by: Anonymous on December 04, 2006, 02:42:32 PM
I would like to congratulate EA, Dice, their mothers, their first teacher etc etc for being so bloody incapable of releasing a patch that works. Running the 1.41 server patch uninstalls the server files and, even if you do NOT click the option to delete config files, it DELETES THE WHOLE BF2 FOLDER including all mod folders and settings!!!!!

What a bunch of complete pillocks!!!!!:ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2::ranting2:


Fortunately, knowing how inept they are I had backed up the configs before I started. :flirt:


So, servers patched to 1.41, VOIP server patched to 1.41 and poe2 version 1.1.5 installed on second server. If you have any probs please ring EA not me :sideways:

A friend offered me a free copy of BF2142 today - I said no thanks!

Played BB! BTW, the new patch seems to have caused several times for me to disconnect. It seems to be a causing a problem with my firewall...
 
BTW, I'd buy the copy, thought about it and I like BF2 and I played the demo of 2142. Let me know what he wants for it if he still wants to get rid of it (I'll pay aslong as it's under the "normal costs" and postage).

Would it be possible to remove the older maps from the list and just run thru the new ones?

edit.. just tried to join and got kicked... message says this server does not allow unmodified content please revert your version to the official BF2 release. :-(

edit.. appears this is a known bug and POE team are working on a fix apparently it's ok with BF2 vanilla maps removed.

Done.

For the BF2 Admins:

There are 2 profiles, poe2 and NewMaps. poe2 gives you all the maps and NewMaps funnily enough only uses the new maps so it is quick to flick between them now.

umm Ok, well I was looking at the BF server - and didn't have the IP for the POE one which I have now bookmarked :sideways:

However, When I tried to join it, it said that I had 'modified content, and must revert back to the original BF2".

Having read other threads on this, I'm currently downloading the 1.1.5 patch which should hopefully resolve the problem

Grrr
