EA: nice job guys, you came through and saved the game. Here's a feature listing and my opinion:

1) In-Game browser: A pleasant suprise, still needs a couple of things:

a) Needs to display Game Version (1.0, 1.1, etc)
b) Needs Auto-Retry feature with a configurable delay (for joining full servers)
c) Needs to Take you back to browser on 'Server is Full' or 'Timed Out' msgs, rather than the main 'room'.
d) Needs to not automatically refresh the entire list whenver the browser is reloaded (due to disconnecting, etc) - when there gets to be 1000+ servers, it's gonna be a bitch. This means auto-saving the serverlist every time the game is closed and reloading it into the browser upon startup.
e) Needs option to filter servers by country or even 'coast'; west/midwest/central/east.

2) Netcode: The new netcode is great, i feel like it's playing as it should. Great job!

3) Dedicated servers: Finally we don't have to load the game! GJ on that...suggestion(s):

a) People are asking for a linux port.

4) Admin utility; no clue what exactly you did yet, but i'll check it out. However, seeing as you listed it as a patch feature, i'll say kudos for addressing the problem =)

Also, i seem to be able to alt-tab now without many troubles.

This may have already been in there pre-patch, but i see now that in OBJ maps, the map isn't over when all the allies die and the bomb has been planted - they have to defuse the bomb as well. (Could be server-side).

Overall myself and the general public seem to be quite pleased with the patch. I'm glad to see corporate support.

If i think of/notice anything else i will edit.

edit:

1) buddy list allowing infinite# of buddies (don't see why the # should matter, tribes and tribes2 both allow as many as you want w/o any sort of refresh-performance hit.)

Keep 'em comin'!

You forgot to mention add a buddy list to the ingame browser
with at least 100+ friends, not 4 like All-Seeing Eye

I hope this patch really blocks cheaters! But, I guess it works for now!

Hey...I'd like to see the pink kill text replaced with colored names based on team sides. This makes it alot easier to tell who killed who.

this would be better off posted in the board of developers

Definately need to ditch gamespy and have something like UT does that shows the servers IN the game. I'd also like to have a box with recent IP's of the last couple of games..

One big problem that I have found about the new patch is that I have lost all my medals from the missions.... had 5 now I have none...

The MP patch works OK - no more cheating anymore... not even in SP.... but I agree, it kinda sucks if you can't connect to a server (ie: Server Full or they don't have the patch) and then ya get kick out to the MP room, then ya have to reload the server list every single time.... kinda gets annoying after a few time.....

Anyone else having these problems?.... or is it just me?

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>i think i may have found the problem.

i was using the nocd crack from gamecopy world.

i know for a fact i patched the server today at work.

but, its listing my server as a version 1.00 server.

meaning, the .exe is still the old .exe and maybe this is my problem.

so ill go into work tomorrow and screw with it. hopefully it will solve the problem i want rcon power damnit!
