New patch was released for Bad Company 2 today for Steam users – which is very exciting if you’ve been having troubles with the game.

More information for the patch notes/change-log.

I’ve added the Battlefield v1.5 Patch to my mirror. Depending on where you are in the world, this may be available to you faster than on other servers. The information about this patch is on the EA website in the Battlefield 2 section. There are also a list of localised mirrors.

Get Battlefield 2 v1.5 Patch from splents.com.

Note: You MUST install the v1.41 patch in order to get 1.5 to install.

I would also say that version 1.0 of the game do not make a registry key titled ‘Version’. For the patch to install you need to create this key. I can’t remember what it is but if you Googled around you would find it.

I had this problem where I would go to play a game of Battlefield 2 (Single Player or Multiplayer), and when I would get to the spawn screen the mouse would just be frozen.

It hadn’t done it before, and I had been playing both the retail version of BF2 and the Steam version. Turns out it is caused by a profile conflict. All I did was delete my profile from the ‘Documents’ folder and away it went.

This poster had the same problem and solved it by deleting his Battlefield 2 Profile.

So you’ve suspected that there are hacks in the game all along, but haven’t had the evidence…

This is about as good as the evidence will get, and unfortunately Infinity Ward are either incapable or unwilling to address the problem.

From a technical point of view, I find the hack funny. Having said that, I’m sick of rage leaving games because some n00b is using tools similar to this. Ah well.

So you’ve noticed that whenever you get into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 you get this annoying “NAT Status: Strict”, or perhaps more annoying – when you and your friends try joining the game lobby it says unable to connect, and counts the connection attempts up until it throws an error.

You’ve followed the borderline offensively abandoning instructions left on Infinity Wards website, with still no change.

Well  I have a few more suggestions that have so far worked for everyone I’ve shared them with.

1. You have additional network adapters – perhaps from VMWare, perhaps physical. Try disabling all but the one you need for internet in the network control panel. 90% of the time, it works every time.
2. You have uPNP disabled in the network control panel. Enable it

Restart Steam and see if it helps. Hopefully it does, because usually this means you won’t have any more squad trouble.
