As most of you are finding out, BF2 1.3 patch is a bust on the server side and on the client side.

As soon as this patch was applied to our servers, and most of the 64-player servers out there, crashes are very frequent. We're convinced that it's the 1.3 patch bc we have 2 64-player servers: WiH #1 and Best of BF2. WiH #1 was upgraded first and saw lots of crashes while Best of BF2 was rock solid at 1.22 level. Once Best of BF2 was upgraded to 1.3 level, it started to crash as much as WiH #1 server.

In addition, a plethora of problems surfaced on the client side. Things such as erratic server browser list to CTD's are common with 1.3 on client side.

We are very displeased with EA's ability to put out a good patch. At this point in time, there is not much we can do as our provider have patched our servers to 1.3. The hope is that EA either will a) roll-back 1.3 to 1.22; or b) release a 1.31 patch to fix the problems. In either case, we're stuck with the extremely unstable 1.3 servers.

We would apologize for your bad playing experience on our servers due to the crashes, but the apologizing should be from EA's part for releasing a patch that was poorly coded and poorly tested.

When you are sick of the crashes, re-install BF2 and patch it to 1.22. Then download PRMM .3 at http://www.realitymod.com and come play on our War is Hell PRMM .3 server.

Well, what do you expect?

With all of the battlefield patches, if it's only a 1.X then that means new features with new bugs. Like uh, 1.21 was the fix to 1.2, and 1.22 was the fix to 1.21. It would make logical sense that 1.3 would be the fix to 1.22, but no.
