Something I noticed last night whilst setting up BF2 on my computer since it recieved a supported graphics card, created a new windows account, installed and then I played BF2 online a bit with no problems, obviously I installed 1.12 otherwise I wouldn't have been playing online. I then installed SF, loaded up a match on devils perch, forgetting to reinstall version 1.12. The map loaded the same speed at which normal BF2 maps would load, except when Join Game appeared the game went back to the GUI saying that my version of BF2 was incorrect.
So, I installed 1.12, and joined the same server. This time, the game spent more than twice as long loading than it did previously.
I uninstalled the game completely, and then reinstalled to the exact same location, but did not put the 1.12 patch on until SF had been installed. This time, the map loaded seamlessly as it did previously without the 1.12 patch.
Thoughts?
