Bad Company 2 PC Gets a 2.6GB patch

Posted By | On 21st, Sep. 2011

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 receives a 2.6GB patch on the PC and it also removes the DRM. We have to wonder why it took so long for them to remove DRM, since it has been almost a year since the game came out.

The reasons for a giant patch are, ““While it would have been technically possible to create a smaller patch for those who have Client R10 installed already, that would have delayed the release of the patch even further – so we thought it better to release a larger patch now, than a smaller patch sometime in the future.”

Check out the full patch notes below and tell us what you think in the comments section.

  • Removed some memory leaks
  • Fixed crashes when the game attempted to render lots of content (high detail, high FOV or multiple-monitor modes); this should particularly help multi-monitor users
  • Chat window no longer causes lag spikes
  • Chat window reworked opacity & visibility-time is controllable through settings in settings.ini
  • Clantag is remembered when using auto-login
  • Banner URLs can be up to 252 characters in length
  • SecuROM wrapper removed from non-Steam version
  • Minor performance enhancements
  • Reduced rubberbanding on servers with more than 24 active players
  • PrintScreen takes a screenshot, file stored in Documents\BFBC2\Screenshots directory
