BF2 1.01 patch pulled, EA is 'working on a fix'

Posted on Saturday, 9 July 2005 by Ryuken, source: Electronic Arts
The latest Battlefield 2 community update has some bad news for people who already installed the 1.01 patch EA has released past Wednesday.

HOTFIX for Battlefield 2 v1.01 Coming Soon

First off, a HUGE thanks to all of you who emailed me in regards to the memory leak found in the update we released earlier this week (v1.01). Your emails found their way to our production team and they’re in the process of evaluating what needs to be done in order to get this fixed. In the meantime, and since the 1.01 update is causing memory leakage on some systems, we recommend that you reinstall the game and NOT the v1.01 update we released earlier this week.

Reinstalling Battlefield 2 will not affect your in-game medals or ranked server statistics. EA and DICE are committed to getting a fix for v1.01 as soon as we possibly can and will continue to keep you informed through this web space in the coming days.

NOTE: If you installed and are running the newer server files (Win and Linux versions) we made available earlier this week, please revert those as well. We found that those files had the same issues with memory leaks as did the v1.01 update. You can download the older versions here.

So it's back to where it all started; still the bugged retail version and unworkable Linux servers. Although you can always try to keep playing with 1.01 of course (there are still plenty enough servers of that version) if you don't have problems. Hopefully the next patch will correct the 1.01 error.

I wonder how much of these patch troubles could have been avoided if they tried to finish the game first before putting on the shelves.

rofl
this is so typical for the current games, its like the developers dont take time anymore to test there games.
Everything is getting released so fast that it isnt finished. I really starting to hate it.

DICE are the one making the patches, but they have to go through quality assurance tests at EA in order to be released. EA should've tested the patch better, and thrown it back to DICE for a revision before finally releasing it.
