BF2S Forums Official thread for 1.03 BUGS & ISSUES

After reading a few other forums on specifically the 1.03 issues and other things I have discovered that the number one fix for all issues is this.

Have all patches on hand. (Not sure if 1.03 includes all previous patches. Have no idea)
Uninstall Battlefield 2.
Reinstall Battlefield 2.
Do all patches in sequence (unless 1.03 includes all previous patches. Not sure)

After all this it seems to fix a lot of the problems and issues many were experiencing.
This takes me back to a previous thread I posted wondering if it was really that simple.

I guess it is. For at least some cases.

That's what worked for me, i advise everyone with any issues with the new patch tries this first

When zooming out from the map display in the top right corner, when you die it defaults back to the first initial “zoom” mode you intended to change, so basically the settings don’t stick.

The server menu doesn’t update with the correct filters

Can't spawn on Squad Leader

Desktop crashes when pressing escape during game on most maps.

Server listings are not even aligned correctly preventing some of the screen tabs from even showing the text.  It's still beyond me as to why the Game Mode tab is larger than most other tabs when it isn't even used, along with the massive "Players" tab.  Al this is does is prevent you from seeing the map name and server Ip.  Whatever happened to the Server IP from being displayed, or do we have to wait till we are in game to determine that?

Some (like 2% of other characters) I see run around with no gun, just arms 45 degrees straight out, looking like zombies.

I have seen other models fire guns (with no gun graphics in their hand).

And that CD Key problem with 2 Windows Account - only 1 account work, the other doesn't as the Key is encrypted to one account.  I think buying another game for the same PC is ridiculous - EA/DICE should fix this as priority.

Also bad:
Teamkill for AT mine, claymore

I said gunner. I'm fine with the passengers having to get out, but the gunner is performing a role in the heli

Actually now that u mention some of these bugs I was in fact playing on Kubra Dam 64, on INternode WA #1, and I was hiding behing the crates of the refuelling station outpost, and there was this guy in a US uniform, which was my side, and then he turned and started shooting at me, and instinctively (actually i was pretty lucky seeing as he shot first) got him, and it said you have killed x, even tho he appeared to be on my team

I wouldnt really call this a patch bug but - When the enemy is hiding in one of those small houses near a flag, I can sometimes see his legs sticking out of the wall. Pop. Grenade through the window. Points for me.
I feel like I had cheated, still not really my fault.

You didnt even have to send the grenade through the window... You can kill someone by attacking the legs that are sticking through!  Go ahead and knife them next time... And enjoy it, they would do the same to you with no regrets. 

This is not a new thing.

I just payed a game with Chuy (squad leader) and was unable to spawn on him twice in a row.

Then, it got better.. I WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE THE SQUAD. Oh joy. Keep an eye out for this and report here if you experience the same. It scares me to think of the other "features" they have added with this patch.

Oh god, I know when you get the bug!
When you switch to the other team and directly after that get switched back while joining a squad. The Squad doesn't even really recognize you as a squad leader, thereby it was possible for squads to have up to 8/6 people!
It's crazy, I can't leave the squad nor spawn next to the squad leader.

Red text for teammates not fixed.
Also Blue text for enemies.

C'mon EA/DiCE 3 patches and still no fix!

One time, I got auto'd to the other team, but I switched back.  When I spawned, I could see the enemy on the minimap as blue dots and teammates as red dots.  I think I also knew where the placement of enemy artillery was going to be.  For testing, I killed 2 enemy sodiers, but it showed up as 2 teamkills.  I got scared that I was gonna get punkbusted for some unintentional glitch and reconnected, then it was back to normal.

If you ment that you see other players running like that, then you have possibly seen hack in action.
In RTCW it was LEGS...those revealed the ones that were using speedhack.
Then some smartass fixed the hack...
Of course that could be "just an odd happening", I doubt that.

No, that's just what happens when you are revived without a kit nearby. You end up with no weapon and the game freaks out a little bit and puts you into odd poses with no weapon.

Hmm....are you sure that YOU have your game still in "original" format ? You have not "tweaked" some graphics configs...? Or used some "external help software"...?
I'm not saying that you have, just curious...

This, also, is just a bug you see once in a while.
