Well, the long awaited and much needed Battlefield 2 v1.4 patch has been delayed for a little while longer while EA investigate some possible issues. An official community update is apparently on the way, but we've got the following somewhat confusing quote to try to satiate your hunger for working code:

"The 1.4 Patch will not be released today. It has been postponed. There will be no servers available until the official release date."

Enjoy!

The last one was shocking, lost connection with the server so many times. Pretty much given up until this new one comes out.

I've only just started playing again since the last patch and that has only been Armoured Fury, which has yet to crash on me strangely enough..

when 1.4 comes out about how long will it have been since they totally f***ed the games with 1.3?

yeah i had a 1 month break from it. now back stronger than ever.

Most 3rd party levels and 1st party maps with single player 32 & 64 additions, have been screwed
The AI in custom maps has taken the largest hit. Most maps have problems with npcs getting stuck in random spots around the map, the npcs begin to clump up and doing nothing.
There are various other problems with AI going after the wrong flag, not using vehicles when supposed to, dieing when they lose the navigation points etc.
And the disconnections..

why would you use the AI. this is a multiplayer game for the internet.

Trog m8, where do ya get your info from. It's not really that confusing once you read this:

Due to some last minute changes the release of the 1.4 patch has been delayed.

We do not anticipate this delay being a lengthy one, however we do not have a fixed date for release at this time.

We will update you as soon as there is further information.

Apologies to those who were expecting the patch today, however in order for this patch to succeed in the way it is intended a little extra time is being taken to ensure it is right."

Community Update - 8/15/06

Greetings Everyone, As many of you are now aware we have made the choice to take some extra time with the 1.4 patch before release.

During our standard final processing of the 1.4 client update we came across an issue that, although it does not compromise stability, we felt needed to be addressed in order to meet our goal of improving the overall player experience with Battlefield 2.

It has come to our attention that a beta version of the 1.4 client has leaked to the general public. It should be noted by players that this file is not final and being such could cause damage to players systems.

We want to warn players to avoid the use of any client files that are not distributed by EA/DICE or one of our trusted partners. Once we have set a new schedule for release we will communicate this information to everyone.

Sure, 12 hours later when they've actually explained their first cryptic sentence, it's not that confusing.

so why didn't ya update it.

it's a holiday, and it doesn't change the fact that the first comment they gave for public release was useless

fight tha powa Marty

Dude, what about the army of monkeys you have clicking refresh on Bluesnews, idsoftware,com and Bruce Schneier's blog?

Didn't they notice the update? Damn, useless monkeys!

don't post a useless comment.

cause it is just that: useless

^ ironic

Turns out the fire was caused by these stress-release candles.

IRONY!

For bf2 updates, we generally get our info straight from Dice and EA.

sorry trog man, was just playing with ya.. all good dood :)

It's ok, I have thick skin, and nothing anyone says is going to change the fact that it was Yet Another Monged BF2 Patch Release. I had high hopes for this one too because they had a long beta period and were fully organised for the first time ever - client patch distributed well in advance, everyone had servers ready to be upgraded immediately, the time was set - everything was as close to being perfect as it has EVER been for a BF2 (or EA in general) release.
