    I meant when the patch goes live. Unless we're only getting the beta patch, which while weird is kinda understandable since I assumed they took all but one person off this game and put them on BF3.

    Nah, all the patches go out on steam once they're ready.

    So, I've been away from this game for a long while.

    And I suddenly remember all the fildding that I had to do at the beginning to order to sort out all the mouse sensitivity malarkey. What exactly do I do here again?

    Most of the smoothing got taken out in the last patch. It's not completely gone, but its quite a bit better than it used to be.

    So I think the BC2 patch is available now. Steam is downloading something, so unless Steam wants me to have 2 copies of BC2 the patch is live.

    Why the hell is this patch almost 3 gigs, I can count the number of fixes they list on my fingers and that's nowhere near enough for that big a patch.

    They included every patch leading up to this one. They claim making a separate patch would have postponed the update by quite a bit of time.

    So ultimately it doesn't take up 3 extra gigs because it just overwrites old data?

    They've explained in the past the crazy compression system they made for BC2's data, which doesn't work so well with patches.

    How do they patch on consoles? Whenever I download a game update on my 360 its like 1MB or something because it downloads and installs super fast.

    I just found it amusing that they are NOW patching some problems in the game.

    Because I'm guessing that it was all hands on board for BF3 development.

    But wouldn't those hands still be on board with the near release of BF3? I mean, I just found it amusing that BF3 is set to release in less than 2 weeks, and they push out a patch for BFBC2. Shrug.. just made me chuckle.

    I love the new patch.

    Nice to not have the freakin chat window flash and cover 1/3 of the screen now.

    I'm guessing they found some fixes in the process of developing BF3 and it took a while to get them ported back to the old engine.

    I just assume they expected the one guy they had working on BC2 to have finished the patch earlier. He will probably be fired, and since he was alone working on BC2 he probably wont be missed. But I will remember. I will always remember. RIP that one DICE guy.

    I'm actually pretty stoked. There's been a crash bug when running 3 monitors (surround) since quite a while back now. It really sucks not being able to play for more than 15 mins without crashing :(

    Ya it really sucks. and to make it worse they Patched Vietnam a while back so I can play that just fine, but I really want to play vanilla. Hopefully the patch hits today so I can get some time in before the beta starts.

    Got my first random crash 5 mins in. Dammit. Other than that, shit seems WAY smoother than before. Hit detection is downright fantastic.

    Wow. I am pretty surprised they patched this again with Battlefield 3 coming out in a month.

    Oh my god yes, even on my satellite connection I am a goddamn rape machine. BF3 is soooo bought. Might have to preorder it tomorrow from the retails.
