DICE has dropped details about a massive incoming game update for Battlefield: Bad Company 2.<\/p>\n

And by “massive”, I mean it’s massive in size, not massive with new stuff.<\/p>\n

According to a post over on the Battlefield Blog<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

The patch list includes:<\/p>\n

•    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<\/p>\n

The update is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, 21 September 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
