Hmm.. I'm not sure, I can't get on to Clanforge

Have you tried specifying the IP / port? (see first page)

I'm in the process of rebuilding my O/S...

Just managed to find it on multiplay and then on BF2 - and says I have an older version!

Bollocks! Bit quick updating and so far the best download speed I can do is 4KB/sec

Damn and double damn!

Any idea where I can get this downloaded from other than EA, as at the moment it'll be downloaded a week Sunday...

And I can't believe the server is upgraded already!

Unless anybody fancies finding an unused server and playing there?

The multiplay FTP is giving me a solid 240kb/sec download speed (NTL 2 meg connection),so it isn't too bad.

Also worth noting is this patch will have to be re-applied *after* you install Special Forces :

Was there for a while but it was a bit one sided for the 4 maps I played - you can only get killed so many times by Dae1964 or M/Morgue without getting cheesed off

Know what you mean. Had an absolute shocker last night, kept lagging to the point of being unplayable. Would be attacking someone, screen would freeze and then would wake up dead. Very frustrating. And got dumped to desktop twice.

All since the new patch, so I'm guessing thank you EA.

And taking an age to load now when it didn't before. Guess I'll be off to get another gig of RAM then...
