Bugs you have experienced in bf2 1.2

I know there is a big list of supposed bugs doing the rounds but would like some input into bugs that you have personally experienced in 1.2, this is not a rant at 1.2 I personally dont mind the patch too much, but then again im a foot soldier most the time

This is just to get a few things straight as to what should and what shouldnt be happening in bf2 1.2,

Ill kick things off with 2 things that have happened to me and I have checked over on EA and they are known issues:

1 if I throw medipacks out to snipers on top of some buildings they actually dissapear and fall through the building??

2 cannot hear gunfire from people shooting at me.

Thanks guys

Just found this list over on ea forums, but dont know if any of these may be made up by people not happy with 1.2, thats why I wanted to know bugs you have actually seen, but check out this the vids are quite amusing especially if it happens only to the enemy,lol :eek:

New Problems brought about by Patch

1) The Sound Bug:- There are some missing sound files or something along those lines. Occasionally in game you cant hear people shooting at you. This maybe guns firing at you or maybe artillery. But sometimes you just cant hear people shooting you. There is probably just something wrong with a few of the sound files.

2) Medic Packs:- When you are on a roof somewhere, or on a raised bit. eg hotel flag on karkand, when someone throws a medic pack it falls through the floor onto the ground. This was alledgely apparent in the previous versions but by no means as much.

3) Anti Tank Missiles:- Now you are getting anti-tank missiles that are not firing properly. It is like they are firing ghost missiles that just dont do anything. Watch this - http://phatserver.net/temp/BF2_ATmiss.wmv

4) Zatar AA Bug:- Best explained by this clip - http://media.putfile.com/zataraa

5) Flag capture bugs:- Become increasing more common that you cant capture the flag, the flag just doesnt go up or down.

6) BlackHawk Bug:- Accuracy...what has happened to that? Also watch this clip to see the blackhawk flare problems. http://media.putfile.com/Battlefield-2-12-Blackhawk-bug

7) Medic shock paddles bug:- Shock paddles reload stupidly quickly now, infact they dont even reload....again watch this http://media.putfile.com/Medic-bug-12

8) Screenshots:- Cant be taken. Enough said

9) ATI Graphics:- Problems with some ATI cards, heard this is getting fiexed though. http://imagecloset.com/8/02320714-untitled.JPG

10) Special Forces Bug- Server crashes:- Humvees with tows on them, i think this has already been heard of and is being dealt with.

11) Server browser:- Meant to be fixed, try searching for a map in the server browser, nothing appears. This needs fixing.

12) Watching demos:- Heard there has been some problems with watching demos, please review this.

13) That red number that appears in the bottom of your screen from time to time.

14) If you jump or prone while reloading/run. It shows that you are reloading but when its done you have to reload again

15) Special Forces shows wrong version number (1.12) and BFHQ of Special Forces doesn't display rank correctly

16) When you fall into water from a height you walk as if your legs are broken. (May be intentional not sure).

17) Gun reload is still buggy (reload animation isn't showing)

18) "sometimes you throw 2 (instead if 1) medkits/ammopacks at once and after a few seconds the second pack disappears" and "Sometimes when I try to throw flashbang or a handgrenade it doesnt throw any, but on the next throw I see TWO flying at once (only visible, not actually two grenades flying and exploding)!"

Bugs that are still present in the game

1) Red/Blue Bug:- Players looking as if they are on the opposite teams.

2) Double reload on M203/GP30.

3) Server browser

I am sure there are more of these bugs around but i can not think of any. If there are then please post them below, or if you dont agree with any of the above, please supply evidence. I will edit this post everytime i see something new, as long as you can proove it.

I hope that someone from EA will take a look at this and give it to DICE to take a look at for the next patch. SOme of these bugs are very serious and so i hope that they will be looked at. Again i ask please do not spam abbusive comments on here about your opinion on the patch, if you dont like something tuff, its the bugs in the game that do need sorting.

Hope to hear from you soon EA/Dice.

andyp said:
are AA missiles supposed to bounce off 'copters?

was playing Oman yesterday and saw two stingers hit a Cobra, the first of which bounced off the engine cowling straight up into the air - the second hit it and brought it down.

I dont know for sure, but yesterday my assault grenade launcher/noob tube bounced of a vodnic and went into my team mates and exploded to give me 2 TK's, the vodnic was unharmed, is this a new feature or what?

Im also finding a lot of enemy out of range of my sniper gun that werent before, eg wake island I used to snipe at the soldiers on that little spawn island as they went for the boats, now I cant touch em, they also dont show up their red tag name above their heads????

Im finding it hard to tell what should and should not be happening in this new patch, there are so many different things happening

It gets worse lads

been playing about today and seen the red distance marker bug (same as the ones telling how far a flag is) but it corresponds to absolutely nothing,

Also today had a mine fall through the floor in a building entrance,
and noticed that if im in a vehicle or plane then get blown up or crash there is no explosion sound.

Oh yeah and its still possible to dolphin you cant shoot while in mid air but you can still dolphin up and down quicker than going prone and standing up again,,, go prone then press crouch, just as you come up press jump and repeat.
