EDIT by ph1l0r: Please download and install. We'll have servers patched with the new version.

<s>Please download now but don't install unless you read to do so here. If you want to play on publics please create a backup copy of your Battlefield 2 folder before installing the new patch. We might play with 1.40 this Saturday.</s>

GC exclusive download mirror:

http://europe.global-conflict.org/patch ... h_1.41.exe Full Patch 536MB

(as always. only works if you click the link here and don't block referrer headers)

Most likely there won't be an incremental patch available.

Vortex knew about the new patch first

1.41 came out last July as a beta. There is talk about an official news release stating there is a final patch. The official news release is supposed to happen this week.
Note: I have found no official change log for this 'patch'.

<s>Yes, exactly. Therefore the patch isn't out yet so I am suggesting that the released file is still a beta, albeit a beta probably in the very last phase of testing.

There is no mention of the patch on the main EA website so one can only assume that the final patch isn't out yet.</s>

Stop spreading FUD guys. 1.40 was available as beta1 and beta2 in summer. This is 1.41. Please quote some sources when making statements about updates being beta/broken etc.

http://www.battlefield.ea.com/battlefie ... ch141.aspx

doesn't read "beta" anywhere. This one is a regular update. During the beta tests no server builds have been released to the public. I already downloaded the server binaries for linux yesterday. I am checking with Gameservers.com if they have 1.41 ready. If they do we'll play with 1.41 tomorrow.

Gameservers.com will provide 1.41 shortly so we are good to go.

Everyone please download and install. 530mb for one fix seems silly but hey this is EA ;-)

To not scare someone with FUD I will make a backedup statement about the compatibility of BF2 1.41 patch and POE2 1.1.5.

http://www.pointofexistence.com/
POE would like to let everyone know that we are fully compatible with the newest version of BF2, version 1.41.



Wow how did they comfirm this so fast? :roll:

Boo!


Btw: thanks are due for the work required to bring this patch download sight to us. And so quickly also.

Those of you who are playing the match against Gamert tomorrow, will need to update in time. We'll be playing on patch 1.41!

I guess this won't be me?

First I am not aware of Gamert.

Second the patch does not work with the current PRMM (no source listed here - so FUD to you, but true to me).

Edit: Nov 20: PR works with 1.41

Its common for the latest patch to break mods until the mod makers update. I'm happy to see EA has released a patch, hopefully its not the last one.

Need a tip

Do I install full 1.41 over 1.4 or should I do something else...?

Thx
