BUG FIXES
- Fixed Client Side Crash on Titan Mode.

We are all very excited with the release of Battlefield 2142 this week. Like you we are eager to play online and start collecting our Dog Tags. To be more proactive in our patching we are releasing a 1.01 patch to address a performance issue. This is a small patch, but well worth the stability it will give. Battlefield 2142 will notify you at the login screen if there is a newer version of BF2142 out. EA Downloader will then start if you have it installed. We are doing everything possible to ensure the best experience for BF2142’s first patch and appreciate your understanding.

yup, though they still have two servers running the 1.0 original version (one in USA, one in EU). There are about six or sevens servers currently running the 1.01 patch.

I've played on about four servers now (yea, I have the retail version). I get disconnected every three minutes with the message "cannot connect to EA Master Server". I'm not the only one.. it seems to be going straight down the list and disconnecting everyone bit by bit. (there's a constant stream of [player] disconnected from the server messages)

Well I pre-ordered it through the downloader....funny thing is when I left for work this morning it said I had 4 hrs left before install.....when I came home from work I had 19 hrs left????? For some reason the release was pushed back and all support for the game will not start until 1300 hrs EST US. Goggles, that's probably why you are loosing connection??

It was happening as late as 16:00 EST. I just finished a fun session of about an hour and a half without disconnects though, seems to be working fine now

PS: I enjoy the game, it's fun.. haven't even noticed an ad yet?

I've had a lot of fun in BF2142 in the last two days. Sure, there are some really screwy things going on (I got stuck with three teamkills because a transport decided to fly into my stationary walker.. how that's my fault I'll never know), but overall it's been a mighty fun experience

thats probably because the transport heli exploded first and u second

I never exploded

We had just captured a missle silo, and I was in my squad-leader screen issuing the next attack. So I was in the "driver" seat of my walker not even moving an inch, lol. The transport had landed next to me to cap the flag, and it took off straight into me after we got it. *doh*

hey guys watch out they are recording your habits on the box version of BF 2142, has several players I know not going to purchase it.

Read and understand what they are recording and you will see it's not thaaaat much of a big deal. They use your ip to determine from where you are to display you ad content ( which i haven't seen yet ) which fits your location.

Bought today and it's quite fun to play. Will probably need mucho more time to get used to all the new stuff and especially key bindungs but so far it's fun. Had a pretty good squad one map. One guy does the EMP, two Engineers fire AT rockets. Nice ;-)

It all depends if you believe what EA's PR and marketing say who know nothing other what the CEOs tell them to say. But with the publicity, they'll be careful on the wording they use and what they do. Your ISP prolly sells your personal information more than EA.
