Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Mega-Patch erneut verschoben

So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change
involving SPECACT kits.



As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd)
of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval
the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick
enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as
it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release
patches at the end of working weeks).



This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as
we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the
new modes like Map Pack #3.

After a lot of trials and tribulations, all versions of the game client
has now completed QA successfully.

We will do no more testing on it.



All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance
period starts on Wednesday Jun 30th at 07:00AM (GMT+2).
Most of them should be back up by 11:00AM (GMT+2).



During this time window, we will also release the new game client.



Check back after 11:00AM (GMT+2), and try out the new game client!

DOPPELTE PUNKTE bei rundenende für gewinnerteam und MINUS 50 % PUNKTE für Verlierer !!!!!

KD ratio ist doch sowas von schnuppe hier,das ist kein COD.

Das starke schwarze Flackern liegt an den Grafikkartenreibern. Nvidia hat Beta Treiber draussen mit denen das flackern bei mir nicht mehr auftritt. (Hab ich irgendwo in nem anderen Forum gelesen und es funzt)

Heißt ausgeblendet starkes schwarzes Flackern? Das hab ich nämlich ab und zu.
