536MBs! They don't do things by half do they? Will the server be serviced, or should we not install this until instructed?

[Cadaver]

I'd steer clear for the moment.

I know they have been working on a 1.41 patch for BF2 but can't find any details about what it's supposed to fix on the EA sites, or its release date.  See  here, third paragraph from the bottom.

What's the state of play regarding this patch? Ah bugger it! I'm patching, the rest of BF2 community seems to have done so.

[Doorman]

Just now patched to 1.41 and the World is still turning!

[DuVeL]

Yeah, forgot about this. Was allready thinking I did something wrong

So, to patch or not to patch, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of non-patching or to patch against a sea of troubles and by patching end them? :g:
