New Patch v522174

*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.
This is now back in QA for them to run tests. The earliest the patch will release is tomorrow lunch time (European time)


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.

And so the patch list begins,......lets see who can pounce on the next once.

In all seriousness, Thank you for the post Jarrod
 
Also besides me does anyone else have a problem with the leaderboard being all mashed together?
 
Update: DICE's Mikael Kalms posted on the Steam forums that the Steam version of the game will have SecuROM removed.
In addition, the Steam version will no longer have SecuROM.

The patch is going through Steam compatibility testing as soon as possible.

The patch is backward compatible. (We are not updating the servers, only the game clients.) So old & new game clients can play with each other.
Steam Fourms
*UPDATE* 533175 is going live now. STEAM will launch later, possibly tomorrow, as it needs to go through extra QA before it goes live on Steam.

Version 522175 is going live within a couple of minutes. This has fixed the multiplayer map CTD's we experienced with 522174.

Wonder why they are removing SecuROM?
 
No, steam patch isn't out yet.
Update 2: Steam users will have to hold on a little bit longer it seems.
I screwed up when removing the Steam DRM from the main game executable. It's 00:40 here so I'm going to correct that tomorrow (euro time) and then testing of the Steam version continues tomorrow morning (US time).

Re patch notes: noted.

Do you think there is any chance that we could add our Retail BF:BC2 keys to steam in the future? I would love to have that.

Re retail keys: no idea.
 
Patch came out for the retail gaming. It was pretty big too. It downloaded than it wouldn't play the game. I had to go into Task Manager and stop all BFBC2 activity and than it started working again.
 
Yeah I would have figured it would have been out by now, but my steam has showed 0/kb transfered today..



** EDIT **

PATCH IS OUT!!
