A few days ago, we posted the news about the latest Battlefield 2 patch (1.3), where we, as many others, predicted more problems than fixes (business as usual). The BF2 server browser, which hasn’t worked properly since its launch has been rolled back, so no update there. EA said:

“After a thorough investigation into the issues plaguing the server browser after the 1.3 Update, we believe that a last minute update in the way the Battlefield servers and Gamespy servers communicate may be the cause. We have decided to revert this change in an attempt eliminate these browser issues.”

If you try and browse for a server, the information will be inaccurate, for instance the amount of players on the server, what map is played etc. Luckily players don’t have to uninstall anything, this is only a server issue says EA;

“All servers currently running must be restarted once this change has taken place.” The statement also observes that “If you are experiencing CTD issues upon start up that any alternate-ranking redirections in your windows “Hosts” file must be removed.”

Perhaps EA and DICE are too occupied with Battlefield 2142, instead of fixing Battlefield 2, which was pretty much in a BETA stage the first 6 months of its release.
