BF2 Patch 1.01 Recalled! (Server files included!)

[LeeRyder]

EA Has released an urgent call for everyone who installed the version 1.01 patch for Battlefield 2 to uninstall the ENTIRE game and reinstall it without the patch.

HOTFIX for Battlefield 2 v1.01 Coming Soon
First off, a HUGE thanks to all of you who emailed me in regards to the memory leak found in the update we released earlier this week (v1.01). Your emails found their way to our production team and they’re in the process of evaluating what needs to be done in order to get this fixed. In the meantime, and since the 1.01 update is causing memory leakage on some systems, we recommend that you reinstall the game and NOT the v1.01 update we released earlier this week.

Reinstalling Battlefield 2 will not affect your in-game medals or ranked server statistics. EA and DICE are committed to getting a fix for v1.01 as soon as we possibly can and will continue to keep you informed through this web space in the coming days.

NOTE: If you installed and are running the newer server files (Win and Linux versions) we made available earlier this week, please revert those as well. We found that those files had the same issues with memory leaks as did the v1.01 update. You can download the older versions here.

So get crackin!

Thank you VERY much EA...
Ever heard of Beta testing???

On dial-up the next few days now, so I'm not able to upload the old server files myself yet.
I hope Clanservers automatically downgrades all of their BF 2 server now..
