***UPDATE***

I have e-mailed the list along with the url to three people inside of EA/DICE who's e-mail address' I aquired from certain...."people".  In addition I also posted a thread in EA's forums which can be found here.

If all this crap doesn't get someone's attention then nothing will.  Let's sit back, wait and see what happens now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This thread is intended to be a report and list of all bugs, glitches and problems concerning BF2 in regards to patch 1.3, please keep discussion to a minimum.  This thread is not meant to be a place for you to voice your disgust or complaint's with EA or DICE, so don't do it.  This is also not meant to be a place for people to whine or whine about people whining.  Lastly, this is not a place for you to list what weapons-vehicle-class is overpowered/underpowered.  Only list things that are broken or are inhibiting game play (i.e. game crashes).

Rules:

1. To report a bug, glitch, problem, simply state your problem like so:  "BF2 freezes when I open Team Speak and then crashes since 1.3".   

2. List all things you think may be relevant to the cause on your end like changes to your system right before or right after 1.3, i.e. "I just installed a new video card after 1.3 and now BF2 doesn't work right."

3. Try to put as much detail as to what happened when the error occurred, i.e. "I open up BF2 and click on Leader boards, when I click jump to player it crashes.  It also crashes when I select kit, weapons, or vehicle class leader boards."

4. No whining, bitching, complaining, flaming, "your different view on things" or posts about upgrading/downgrading weapons, vehicles or classes.

Below the original post I will be updating this thread daily with a list of problems you members have posted.  When we believe we have enough or if we identify a major problem we will send the list to EA/DICE through whatever channels we think may get the list to the people who can make a change or a fix.


OFFICIAL LIST OF 1.3 PROBLEMS

1. Server crashes/drops clients often and randomly.
2. Vehicle drop can destroy artillery.
3. Sometimes servers don't show up on server list.
4. There are no co-op options when the create local section is checked in multi-player.
5. For single player there are no bot options.
6. Verifying client data taking over 3minutes.
7. There is a problem with your connection error happening very frequently.
8. "Unloading resources" takes up to or over 5 minutes for some people.
9. Clicking "Join Game" causes some people to crash to desktop.
10. Non-responsive keys followed by the message: "There's a problem with your connection"
11. Fluctuating ping 36 -> 450 -> back to 40
12. Some people get the Blue Screen of Death when video and sound settings are set to "High".
13. Some people get stuck in the ground when they spawn and are unable to move normally until they enter a vehicle and then exit the vehicle.
14. Squad Leaders sometimes have a vehicle drop icon above their head instead of a "1" or "2".
15. Red name bug still existent.  Blue name bug is occurring as well.
16. At least half of the servers on the Favorites list disappear after clicking "Refresh".
17. Server IP addresses are not showing up during loading and do not appear from the drop-down in game.  IP address shown is usually a "(:0)"
18. Vehicle drops are being used in numerous locations to "glitch" into buildings.
19. XFire no longer seems to recognize people playing in 1.3 ranked servers.
20. M1A1 Abram's still loses considerable health after driving over seemingly insignificant bumps that do not affect other vehicles.
21. When joining a server with reserved slots, first you connect and when your not allowed to join, BF2 crashes to Windows desktop in stead of a normal message that the server is full.
22. Players spontaneously dieing with nothing displayed in the console or the kill log.
23. The message "    [ARTILLERY] Player Name"  Displayed in the kill log, seemingly at random at sometimes while the player is still alive.

Server crashes/drops clients often and randomly.

-Server previously stable
-Progressively increasing number of crashes/disconnects since 1.2+
-Server has been freshly reinstalled and patched, twice.

Most of the client-side CTDs are as a result of changes made server side in the 1.3 patch, so if it happens while connected to a server it is a safe bet it is as a result of those changes and not the client itself.

I disagree.  The fact that all airplanes are overpowered and unbalanced is the problem.  No way they should be able to fly under 15k without one hit near deaths with no warning.  Arm without landing and fix in flybys.  The J-10 being overpowered makes this map un-playable and that is good maybe EA will nerf all planes when they realize that 2 people on the axis team on WAKE are the only two people having any fun on the map.  It takes  45 secs to pick up five m-16 clips out of ammo box while a plane re-arms up to 4 bombs, 6 missiles and 2 bars of health  in a 2 sec fly-by.

didnt the guy request that this not become a discussion thread for whining?

anyway,here is my issues with the patch

1)there are no co-op options when i check out the create local section in multiplayer
2)for single player there are no bot options
3)however despite these missing options it is evident that the patch is present since vehicle drops operate fine.

Servers which I used to have a average ping of ~40 is now consistently ~100.  Further, these servers which used to never give me connection problems are now consistently showing the message "There is a problem with your connection", the message is usually followed by BF2 crashing to the desktop although that does not always happen.
Lag spikes are now happening a few times each round, when they used to rarely occur.
Nothing new has been done to my computer between 1.3 and the previous version.
The problems occur with the incremental patch, and with a re-install plus the full patch.

To get on co-op mode, you have to go on the usual server list, (JOIN INTERNET) and do the following:
1) In the game type box, change it to Co-Op
2) Uncheck the RANKED box, (no co-op servers are ranked)
3) And just make sure any of the name/ping/players/map boxes are filled in...



Hope that helps!

random CTD when I press "Join Game" after the map has been loaded and client data has been verified. Happens 4 out of 5 times. Never happened in 1.22, so don't tell me this is caused by my settings.

random server crashes or "there is a problem with your connection" during online play. Never happened in 1.22 either.

Unable to add new favourite servers to my list of favourites. If I press "refresh" in the favourites, all favourites disappear ( the green ones ), leaving me with the recently played servers.

those are three major points that have made my gaming experience a nightmare since 1.3 came out

Cougar asked me to add this here. I've only gotten it once, and only while playing with the 1.3 patch.

1. everything loads pefectly and quickly, click on 'join game' crashes to desktop. this must have happened to me 10+ times today. Never happened before i installed 1.3. All drivers etc are up to date and direct x.

2. There is a problem with your connection. Again, this happened 10+ times today.

It is so annoying!

For me the game is running better than ever until I get into a server and then all hell breaks loose. Funny EA is more worried about there Comcast Wallpaper contest then getting a hot fix up. (Sorry about the EA bashing)

a funny fix that i have found with the crash to desktop problem when clicking on 'join game'.

when 'join game' appears don't press it straight away, give it a few seconds. then, click 'auto-ready' a few times. there is usually a small sound produced when you click 'auto-ready'. this sound, if it is going to crash, will not be present. only when the sound IS present click join game or use the escape key.

of course, this may not work for everybody but it seems to for me.
