Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since installing the update, I am unable to resume my current single player campaign. A quick Google search led me to the EA forums<\/a>, where it became apparent that this is a problem being experienced by many gamers.<\/p>\n

When I select the option to resume campaign, the game loads for a couple of seconds before crashing to Windows.<\/p>\n

Currently, the only way around it is to restart the campaign. <\/p>\n

Update 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems that a way to circumvent the crashing has been found. A forumite discovered that if they go into the “My Campaign” tab, they are able to select the last mission they were on and continue from there.<\/p>\n

Original<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developer Dice has released a patch for the PC version of its first person shooter, Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The patch will automatically be downloaded the next time you start the game, provided you have an active internet connection.<\/p>\n

A patch for the Steam version will also be going live shortly, but it has been confirmed<\/a> that the Steam patch will remove the game’s Steam SecuROM.<\/p>\n

The multiplayer servers will not be patched, meaning that all users will still be able to play online, including Steam users who have a different version to regular owners.<\/p>\n
