Thanks to Inplode and DjmUK for pointing this out.

EA's Battlefield 2142 has now been released to retail and on EA Downloader! Along with the release, comes the first patch for the game, which will update the retail release to version 1.01. The patch fixes a "small" bug with Titan mode where it would cause a crash client side. The patch is 17 megs, and is available for the retail game, and a 117 meg download for dedicated servers. If you pre-ordered or bought Battlefield 2142 through EA Downloader, there is no need to patch, as it is included in the download already.

Here are some mirrors for the patch:

it is, but apparently it's possibly got spyware/adware in it...I'm waiting to hear the confirm/deny on that, and whether EA plans on keeping it in there if it truly is there.

By adware/spyware its just montioring if you click on the in-game ads, although I have yet to play the game, this is what I have heard.

He particularly commented: "If gamers still want to have a high amount of good quality titles year in and year out, there needs to be alternate revenue streams" for next-gen gaming - IGA clearly sees in-game advertising as a notable example of this.

****ing bullshit.. this is EA we are talking about.. the greediest games company out there. And they need more money to make titles like this BF2142.. hello...its rubbbish, wake up people.

I played the demo and it was fun. Didn't see any in game ads.

Has anyone been able to get this to run on Vista RC2? I tried inserting the dx9 dll file it asks for and I was able to get it to launch... but the graphics are corrupted as all hell.

wait, what? my ea downloader is still running the time limit????

edit : low and behold, the EA Downloader (Pre-loaders, me included) have to wait until noon tomorrow for it to install. Tons of angry forum posts, and rightly so considering the game is on shelves.

is bf2 out of beta yet?

negative. i reinstalled for the first time since the 2nd (first working patch) was released, and still doesn't correct any of the technical issues i've experienced on 3 machines, the least of which was top of the line at release. gameplay is still pretty lol too.

did they put in a quickswitch bind by chance? i might giver a shot in a couple years if so.

does ea downloader unlock globally or do us UK'ers need to wait until friday for the european retail release before it will install?
