Look for the first patch to BF2 today around noon or so (probably pacific time).
Only 5 fixes listed:
none of which is the team color bug, nor a favorites add in to the in game browser, etc.

The main fixes for this patch were server stability issues. On the server admin email lists Dice announced that is mainly what it would cover last week.

ATF server is patched and running for what it's worth, unfortunately still unranked.

Gryph, you waiting for EA's baptism of the server?

Is that why nobody is ever on it?

Ghryphen · 07-06-2005, 10:51 AM

Ya heh, nobody wants to play on unranked servers

I have some l33t ideas for making sure ATF members can always get on in the event that it was ever to become a popular server. But sadly those ideas lie idle.

Fixed in issue that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become
unresponsive.

Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be

reflective surfaces.

Fixed a crash that happened when a client picks up a kit that doesn't

And while I haven't tested it yet (still at work), many people are reporting on forums that All Seeing Eye and Xfire now work to connect you to servers...yay!

Now that last bit is great news! Wonder about qtracker though?

Ghryphen · 07-06-2005, 09:47 PM

The Qtracker developer has added support and should have a release out shortly.

o.O

It's true--grunt lives!

I'm happy that when you click up/down it now only scrolls one server at a time.

Malthus · 07-07-2005, 08:30 AM

When you restart xfire, you should get the 1.42 update which will let you join a friends server now also. Much easier then tracking people down and having them read ip addresses. So if you don't have it yet, get xfire, it's free.
