BC2 Patched then Unpatched
Posted by Waz on 15th Mar 2010

It just goes from bad to worse for DICE and EA. No sooner had they released news of a patch for download on EA's servers than they have to take it down again after finding crashes during QA.

They stated, "As some of you will have seen there is a new patch on EA download servers v522174. This isn't quite live yet but it will be shortly, also we are working on putting together the changelog for the patch and I'll add that to this post once I have it."

Later they updated, "*UPDATE* We have had to pull 522174 from release as QA found some last minute crash bugs on two of the multiplayer maps. The team is working on releasing it as soon as possible but can not confirm at this time if it will be today."

Nevertheless, the upcoming patch fixes the following issues:
