DICE has dropped details about a massive incoming game update for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
And by “massive”, I mean it’s massive in size, not massive with new stuff.
According to a post over on the Battlefield Blog, the 2.6 GB patch is mostly about addressing “stability problems with the game and performance issues”, and the reason it’s so big is because it contains all previous game patches.
The patch list includes:
• Removed some memory leaks
• Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users
• Chat window no longer causes lag spikes
• Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini
• Clantag is remembered when using auto-login
• Banner URLs can be up to 252 characters in length
• SecuROM wrapper removed from non-Steam version
• Minor performance enhancements
• Reduced rubberbanding on servers with more than 24 active players
• PrintScreen takes a screenshot, file stored in Documents\BFBC2\Screenshots directory
The update is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, 21 September 2011.
