Game server biatch post

Caslon · 10-17-2005, 08:22 AM

Try typing in a map name in box and spelling it wrong. Then hit Enter or whatever to join sever. Nothing happens. OK.
The Main server list turns blank.
Try backing out the wrongly worded map name. Nothing. Try hitting bottom left Rejoin button to get back to main servers list. Nothing.
The Main List Server window remains blank...no servers listed.

I have to quit BF2 and start up the entire game anew.

Another biatch thingy. Go to Favorites server list and hit the Refresh key.
Nothing happens. None of your Favorites servers refresh even tho DICE provides a REFRESH key in that area!
You have to go back to the Main server sniffer screen and do refresh/update there for any servers in Favorites to be updated/refreshed.

Yep...very annoying. My soloution is to join any server, press escape as soon as it starts loading then click on update server list....works for me and saves quitting the game.

Thanks for the tip! I've had the same problem as Caslon and also had to exit the game and load it up again. Your work-around sounds a lot easier.

anyone notice that if you join any server from the ingame browser, that the server is added to your favorites? Even if you connect by entering in the IP, it gets added to your favorites. Kind of annoying seeing as someone might join a server they have never played before and probably won't play at again (lame server rules etc that you find out about after you have connected). Another petty annoyance with v1.3. Did they actually beta test the patch or did they just say that they did?

It adds it to the favourite screen, but not as an actual favourite (shown in green). It has something like the 10 servers you played in last on there, aswell as ones you've marked as favourites.

I found that after u spell a map name wrong just erase the name and take off all your filters. Then hit refresh and they usually come back for me.

You must have the special addition of bf2 then. If I mess with anything other than the refresh button it seems, the whole dam thing gets wacked.

K_Shizzle · 10-17-2005, 11:49 PM

I don't think i have anything special, besides the fact that its the 3 cd set (i would have prefered DVD but its what i got)

jackbauer06 · 10-18-2005, 12:12 AM

the cd and the dvd are the same exact things, i have heard people that say that "oh, my bf2 is glichy cuz i have the CD version" thats is the dumbest thing ever. it just is. there is dumb, then, omg, wtf, gay dumb. arg

K_Shizzle · 10-18-2005, 12:19 AM

I'm not saying the cd is glitchy or anything, i am just saying i can get the browser to work, ok? He asked me if i had a special version and i said just the cd version. I just would have pefered DVD because it is only one slot in my game case as opposed to 3
