FC2 PATCH....

Our first patch for PC will be released today worldwide, and will autoupdate when you launch the game. Patch 1.01 will feature several fixes and update including all of the following key improvements:


Multiplayer

- Server's IP address now displays in lobby, beside the match’s name (for direct IP join to work)
- Dedicated Server can now be launched in command line.
- Improved match start conditions. Ranked games can now also start if the player max is attained and everybody but the host is ready.

- Ranked matches in progress will no longer display in the match list.
- Fixed players with same name by using identifiers instead of names.
- Fixed crash when creating a LAN game without a network cable.
- The diamond pool is now always validated after class upgrades, reset or rank up to avoid getting more diamonds than you are supposed to for your rank.
- When creating a dedicated server with PunkBuster enabled, then close it to create another but this time with PunkBuster disabled, PunkBuster will still be considered ON, on this new server.
- Fixed a problem where a player could get stuck (and couldn’t get killed) after pressing the interaction key while wounded and getting rescued by a teammate at the same time.
- Fixed players getting disconnected if they have too many user maps and try to enter the map rotation menu in a Player or Ranked match.

- Fixed users not being able to see a match if the host switched match mode after a rank.
- Fixed a glitch that could make a player invisible to another.
- Fixed incorrect check for negative values when adjusting diamond count.

- Fixed Field Manuals not unlocking after game mode change.

Graphics are on par with Crysis but the gameplay does not cut the mustard for me. I hate games where I have to find things to get better guns, the dreaded gun jam gets annoying after the 3rd time that happens, the ai is very dumd (tried in Normal first), you can unload a full clip on them and it won't face them or a simple shot will kill them (wierd).

Worse part is... running around from point a to point b in those jeeps or cars.

Yeah It's annoying right damocles? Think I'll just wait for a patch. I still can't figure out the problem to that being unable to open it in full screen.

here's a few screenies of my own, this game is visually amazing....
though super H/W intensive, i have a BSOD whenever i play & the central heating is on ... it seems to seriously cook my RAM!!, but i am loving this game. :D

& Joshes, have you installed the patch i linked above...?? i have never had a non heat related crash while running this....

Don't think FC2 will run on my pc.

Press Alt and Enter to get back full screen

I have updated to the latest patch skunkmash. Still doesn't work for me. When ever I run it full screen it starts to lag a lot. I mean really! I have tried turning off SLi too. No difference.
And thanks Mr GRim for that tip. Alt Ent works to get into full screen but I'm still experiencing that lag. So until ubisoft gets it fixed I guess it's windowed mode for me.
