BF:V Patch on its way!

[Spectre8]

I noticed on the BF:V site that there is a new patch (although they like to call it an update) on the very near horizon. I for one feel this is necessary.

The details are :


Update 1.01 Info

DICE and EA are pleased to announce that the first Battlefield Vietnam update has entered the home stretch here at EA and should be ready for release in the very near future. We've spent some time gathering and evaluating the feedback on Battlefield Vietnam from the community, community forums and from the Battlefield Vietnam Performance Issues e-mails we solicited back in mid-March. We're happy to report that we have been able to address many of these issues for the update.

While future Battlefield Vietnam updates will include game features that were added to Battlefield 1942 post-ship (such as the Voting GUI), v1.01 is intended to address community related issues. The following is a list of the major items being addressed in v1.01. Of particular note in this list are tweaks to server functionality that should provide a much improved play-experience on servers that are hosting high-player-count games (please note the server hardware requirements posted in the Community Update from April 9, fixes to the internal server browser functionality, and rebalancing of the M60, the RPD and the US Heavy Assault kits.

SERVER FIXES
General optimizations to reduce server lag
CDkey hash added to game.listplayers output
game.listPlayers uses the new format:

game.gameSpyPort - now working
game.gameSpyLANPort - now working
game.ASEPort - removed (not supported by ASE)
All Seeing Eye updated

CLIENT FIXES

Scrollbar fixed in Server Browser
Soldier prediction fixed to remove jerky movements when walking/jumping

Keep an eye on this space in the coming weeks for an announcement on the release of 1.01.
