*Downloads patch*

[Paranoia]

Obviously I shall have to look in 'the game dir', next to the 'game gibberish' no doubt.  What is a game dir?
Directory maybe?
Dirty?
Dirgible?
Direction?
Direwolf?
Dirrrrrrrty a la Aguilera?

Me is n00b remember. So I go, G drive, program files, EA, BfBC2, dir, auto updater.
Sumfing like that?  kk.
 

Further to this, do you have a shortcut on your desktop Monkeh?

I've modified my shortcut to launch the updater instead of the game now, as the updater launches the game if there is no update found, so everytime I launch the game it checks for updates.

If you want to do that, right click on the shortcut, and choose properties. Then modified the target from bla/bla/BFBC2Game.exe to bla/bla/BFBC2Updater.exe

[Monkeh]

Oooooh, nice Para, cheers.

Will my problem be fixed....who knows 

the idea of the patch is to fix connection problems first and foremost, so hopefully...if it doesnt work, its something at your end i would assume :/

[lifeless]

apparently securom activation is to be removed in the latest patch!

Well then....you assume wrong my friend, nah its an EA issue, hopefully this patch will sort it, is it out yet?

[DrKagon]

Yes Zofo, it's out.

[DevilsRefugee]

well zofo...

has it helped??

hope so!

[Enef]

I assume not, as the patch is client side and the problem is server side.

Waiting for next server patch would probably be better, as that should be the one that fixes the problem.

yeah very good point actually, i was just thinking the patch was meant to address connection issues, and zofo is having a connection issue..

what is the actual error message/what actually happens zofo?
