De tweakers die Battlefield 2 spelen kunnen even stoppen met het afmaken van het andere team, want EA heeft een patch uitgebracht die het spel een upgrade geeft naar versie 1.2. Deze patch kan in twee uitvoeringen gedownload worden: de volledige patch neemt als download ruim 357 megabyte in beslag en kan elke versie van Battlefield 2 updaten. Mocht dat echter te groot zijn, dan staat op deze locatie de zogenoemde incremental update van 82 megabyte, die bedoeld is om versie 1.12 te patchen. Welke zaken EA heeft aangepast en toegevoegd lees je onderaan deze meukpost.
Update: Voor de handigheid hebben we de incremental update op onze fileserver gezet. De patch kan door te klikken op deze link gedownload worden en neemt 81,59 megabyte van het datalimiet of FUP in beslag.

KNOWN ISSUE
- VISIBLE UAV
The UAV that is placed by Commanders will now include a visual element. An actual UAV will appear within the UAV detection radius and circle the area. Players will be able to shoot it down, bringing the UAV detection to a premature end. The Commander will be able to continue placing UAVs once the timer resets, as per current design.[break]
- ATI CROSSFIRE CARDS
Crossfire cards with 256 Megs of memory, running in CrossFire mode will run out of memory at very high resolution settings. On very high resolutions, such as 1920x1440 with 6x antialiasing. In CrossFire mode the ATI drivers are more restrictive about where resources are allocated, and as a result run out of memory sooner than with a single board. This running out of memory causes the device context creation to fail. The result is that the game just sits in a loop with a black screen. If you experience a context creation failure change your resolution to a lower setting (e.g. 1024x768 or even lower).
