Battlefield 2142 Patch 1.05 Released

[Jimmy 2004]

All BF2142 users will be pleased to hear that the second patch has been released taking the game to version 1.05, hopefully sorting most of the major problems player have been having.

Here is a list of changes:

* Fixed Ground Defense kills to properly count towards the Ground Base Defense Ribbon
* Fixed an exploit with using the Air Transport to gain points at an unnatural rate
* Fixed a issue that caused scores and ranks to be improperly displayed in the front end
* The Silver Titan Destruction Badge will now be properly awarded when the core is destroyed
* The PAC Duty Ribbon will no longer be awarded randomly when a player enters a server
* Single player End of Round screen will now display round stats properly
* Enemy Squad Leader Spawn Beacon is now visible on the 3d-map
* Crouch may now be bound to the same key for both common use and land vehicles (Battlewalkers)
* Fixed an issue which allowed the Titan guns to be re-supplied for points
* Players may no longer repeatedly spam a squad leader with requests to join a locked squad
* Accept and Reject prompts will no longer be displayed in the debug console
* Titan Survival pin will now be correctly rewarded to players who safely escape a titan after the core is destroyed
* Fixed the issue that prevented players from reviving team mates in a moving Titan
* Fixed an exploit that allows players to use tanks to enter building geometry
* Players may now play single player offline mode when EA master servers are down
* Fixed issues with Battle Recorder Playback and Camera control
* Fixed the issue that caused missile silos to appear in the wrong locations on players’ HUDs.
* Fixed the issue that caused the Squad Leader Spawn Beacon to not be usable after map and round rotations.
* Added the proper game information to the Swedish install for when a mutiny occurs against the commander
* 2142 will no longer show up as Battlefield 2 in the Windows Firewall Exception List
* Altered some player collision inside the Titan. This should improve many of the Player / Titan interactions
* Adjusted the Deviation per bullet on the Assault Rifles. This will allow the AR weapons to be more effective in medium to short range fire fights.
* Titans will stop moving once the Titan shield go down
* Battlefield 2142 will now close after a player selects “OK” in the patch prompt.
* Added additional support during map load to prevent EA Master Server disconnects during map load times
* Client Version is now displayed at the Login Screen

Download from here one of the links at the bottom of this page. Hope it works for you, I'm downloading it at the moment (just under 22MB).

Best changes for me are stopping the titan from moving when shields are down and fixing the revive on a moving titan (although that won't matter unless you manage to die before the shields are down which is unusual).

UPDATE:

There is a problem with the patch meaning that at the end of a round the game may crash to desktop (during the titan explosion sequence). Whilst playing a read a tip advising that you can avoid this by pressing escape to go to the menu and then waiting until the scoreboards appear. I tried this once and it seemed to work, so when you hear that a titan has been destroyed press escape and wait for a minute!!!

This crash doesn't always occur and I assume it does not effect conquest mode.

Geez, haven't had the chance to try the patch myself yet, hope I don't get this crash, did you get it Jimmy?

If this is a generalized problem, we may see a 1.06 patch a lot sooner than expected

Now that's an interesting question

 

[juicemahn]

Then how did you install it?

anyway anyone have any other way i can do it?

 

[ktr]

Get a new DVD drive. It won't work online with a CD crack anyway and too many people with a pirated copy will use the same excuses that you have.

Another Update

Apparently this issue can be resolved by uninstalling the game and then re-installing it and only the 1.05 patch, NOT the 1.01 patch. Not sure if it works but I'll give it a try. Apparently it is a conflict between the two patches. Very irritating by EA and I expect they will release a fix but I want my game to work now TBH.

I played 3 rounds with this patch last night, first one had no problems, second one crashed to desktop, third one I pressed ecape when the titan blew up and had no problems.

Edit: the above method did not work for me, although I did not remove all of my profiles when uninstalling so that may be why. Either way, EA say they will release a hotfix in the next few days.

Did this happen before installing the new patch? Have you tried with different video cards drivers? Sometimes playing in a window instead of using the full screen mode will produce graphical glitches as well.

Yesterday the weirdest of things happened to me, the shield of both Titans wouldn't go down, I was playing in the same round for over 40 minutes at Minsk, but neither our Titan's shield nor the opponent's shield didn't take any damage from the silos. All we kept doing was killing each other and playing as if it was a conquest game, but the round would never end, so I quit after a long time. This had never happened before installing the new patch.

I could only see about 40 servers in the browser as well, when before installing the patch there were at least 400 active servers online all the time. Guess most ppl decided not to install the patch. I'll uninstall the game and install 1.01 only, as 1.05 seems to break a lot more things than it fixes

I'm assuming from your other posts you have fixed this now, just to let other people know help isn't needed anymore. From what I read it was linked to some shadow/lighting settings.

hey man, yea i have to agree with u. this patch has messed more things up then it has fixed, it acctually happen RIGHT after i install 1.05. before patch, my game ran perfect. my options were untouched and i install 1.05. the first game i go into, seemed like everyhintg was fine untill i go inside the titan. everything turns black. i tryed messing with the video options, nothing. restarted game and pc. nothing. i dont kno wat to do. hopefully they realize that its causing a problem and realse a fix cuz i think of just uninstall and keeping 1.01. what do u think?

UPDATE:

The 1.06 patch has now been released. The only change that seems to have been made is to fix the Titan Mode crash to desktop, so it may not solve any lighting problems on the titan.

Edit: only site with a decent download speed is gamershell... unless W1zzard is kind enough to give us a mirror on tpu.

 

[15th Warlock]

That was fast

22MBs for a crash issue only?

Thanks for the link, downloading and installing now

I'm assuming it is 22MB because it can be a complete install from any version rather than just an update from 1.05. Would have been nice to have a smaller hotfix for users that have installed 1.05, but there you go. At least the patches are still only 22MB and not a few hundred like they were on BF2, but I suppose it's only a matter of time until they start to add new maps

Yeah, lol, it never occurred to me that this is the full patch
