I've seen a few complaints about the servers list in BF2 since patch 1.3 but nobody seems to be explaining the exact nature of the problem and therefore few (if any) solutions are being generated.
My issues:
1) The servers list is a general pain in the ass. Oh wait; it was already a pain in the ass before 1.3
2) Favorites list:
a) If one updates most of the servers vanish from the list. Until BF2 is restarted they don’t come back.
b) Since patch 1.3 the vast majority of my servers show up as red. I can select them but 90% of the time they stay red. The IP is correct in the information field. If I do a manual connect to that IP things work. However, the fact that I can’t see if a server is active is tedious. I like being able to see when somebody drops off a full server so I can join. This is a big problem with popular servers.
3) Since 1.3 it’s taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes for my account to login. It used to be nearly instant, at the worst it took 30 seconds. Now I click “login” and go do something else for awhile (ok, I forum whore on another machine).
Is their a solution to either issue outside of reinstalling/repatching BF2?
I did download a “BF2 Autoloader.” Unfortunately it doesn’t want to accept some of the IPs I throw at it. This is sort of moot due to the login issue mentioned in point 3.
