Why BF 1.6 Sucks


Recommended Posts

So far I am not impressed with Battlfield 1942 1.6 patch at all.

1. Half the 1.6 servers fail to connect

2. Punkbuster causes horrible slow downs.

3. More bugs then ever

4. Still hackers playing, punkbuster isn't that smart I guess

5. The TAB Menu doesn't work with out a patch in DC 0.6F (patch is avalible at website)

6. There is now advertising in the games menu (the Rent server button)

I cant wait to uninstall this crappy patch! :angry:

I'm still waiting on a no-cd patch for this (for some reason, when games access the CD drive, my system likes to freeze :s ). However, the new server browser looks promising.

Punkbuster was just implemented. You need to give them time to add more hacks/cheats the their database.

Nothing works perfectly overnight. :rolleyes:

It sounds like you've never played a game with punkbuster before because you sound very clueless to how it works.

When punkbuster is implemented in the first week they work directly with the community to work out existing hacks/cracks.

Go read their website or go back to your old patch and enjoy the cheat full software without pb. :rolleyes:

Friday 01.09.2004 [8:30AM]During the days immediately following the release of Battlefield 1942 v1.6 with PunkBuster integration, we will be focusing on support issues as the community uses PunkBuster for the first time. After a few days, we will begin to add new cheat detections and features. If you need help with PunkBuster issues, please email support@evenbalance.com and be sure to specify that you are a BF1942 Player or Admin in the email along with as many details as possible. Note that PunkBuster is installed during setup of the game update patch. Players can enable PunkBuster via a checkbox on the Multiplayer screen. We will be providing links to PB for BF1942 manuals near the top of this page.

Punkbuster team watches the system for the first few weeks then starts banning people. You'll see! Give it a chance man. :happy:

I love playing as a Canadian. I think it is worth getting. Two things happened to me though. When I patched it reset all of the resolutions (Low, Medium and High) to 800x600 and I spent a while figuring it out. Second, the first night I had it the server list had some funny things going on with it. Tonight seemed fine but yesterday was weird. Maybe now other people can avoid those problems. Maybe they are not even problems.

yes, it is worth installing for the bug fixes & new map. Still undecided about punkbuster. The few servers that have managed to upgrade over the weekend are all *much* laggier than before the upgrade. reading around the forums, PB seems to be the culprit putting major load on the servers. I don`t pretend to be an expert in these matters. just reporting whats being said... :huh:

I like that why've added in the patch, but there's a few bugs that made it through.

  • German bike/ buggy thing has no sound unless you use the full patch
  • The scroll bar when you press tab flickers all the time
  • Whenever I switch from med pack to grenade to my primary weapon, having just used either it reloads my weapon

I like it that there's not a GUI to vote, but on every server I played on so far votes were constantly being started and the little popup started to annoy me.

I've never played this, and I'm not saying you're lying, but every single PB game I've played has been a-ok as far as lag. Once it gets a hack list going it'll do it's job, and do it well.

1.6 is the best thing to happen to bf1942 in a long time.

- If you complain about punkbuster slowing your game, search on google because there is a solution.

-- Or your complaining because now you cant be as good as you were before ;);)

- The server browser is great, its nice to get so much information about each server, there is not one thing left out, there is abosolutely no reason to put this down.

- Favorite servers are great, its much easier to have htem all there upona single click.

- Never had an issue connecting to a server, if hte stats dont show up the in the server browser obviously its going to either not connect or lag ingame anyway.

- Buddys ingame is cool too, its nice to know what your friend is doing and to help him out if he asks for it without using an f8 call.

- the vote popup is only annoying if you are on a small resolution, on 1024x768 and higher it isn't that obstructive to your view, and if you leave it up long enough to annoy you, than you must have forgotten how easy it is to hit '8'.

- Not many votekicks last long, many are over in less than 20-30 seconds, its timed so that unless everyone is for it and votes at first chance it wont really go through, and i wish other games were like that.

- The glitches lenny posted are annoying but have always been there, if you using hte bazooka everytime you switch to it, or climb a ladder he has to "reload it" make you a walking target...

YOu will soon see all the benefits of punkbuster. I play America's Army all the time and PB was the best thing that happened to it, atleast once a game someone will get kicked upon joining because they are using some hack or cheat. Not to mention it will shutup all the poeple who are saying "you ***** cheater" to the best guy on the other team not realizing that experience gives you skill.
