PR:BF2 v1.6.0.0 Changelog

current/former players shouldn't have a problem contacting server admin and applying directly for whitelisting

How do you go about contacting an admin? I linked my active steam account (with hundreds of hours on it), and it still rates me as a zero, even though I've been playing PR for over five years.

Are those hours on games bought on steam store?

Find the website or discord of the server and ask there . Often it's in the servername or servermessage.

this mumble bug is very bad, i can not lower volume in game, or if i lower somehow i can not make it high again... also even i lower graphics little bit more i still get around 20 fps in ww2 maps :S .. but this update is still awesome will there be an update for mumble?

[Arch3rAc3]

Honestly, mumble should just be reverted to the version it was before.
There are just way too many problems now; it runs worse, I keep having to restart the game because people can't hear me; it simply stops working at times and then works again; sometimes there's huge delays, ie. I still hear people talking to my right while they are already on my left side (Mumble is behind the character's PR position).
None of this used to happen before, it was stable and worked perfectly.

We released another small update:

[_Rogue_Assassin_]

Thanks a lot! I have a question, was the grenadier nerf intentional? If so, some kits like the MEC still have 19 , I don't love nerfing my favorite kit but I get it as well, can we get 2 extra grenades into french grenadier

[xpugur]

thanks for update ) ... is there any specific graphic option that we can lower and get higher fps ? ..

i mean my options was

FULL HD + 2x AA ++all settings high except dynamic lighting/shadows(these are medium) and lighting quality (this one is low) ... and i had 30-60 fps depending on aciton

now effects quality and geometry is high but other sterrings are low or medium, but at ww2 maps i got 15-25 fps all the time

which graphic settings has the most impact on fps at ww2 maps?

Unfortunately i dont think there is, i got 15 fps on Omaha beach lrg and thats the lowest fps i ever got in this game, i think its hard to keep the game optimized with 100 players and planes and flares etc..

[AlonTavor]

Yeah The flares were a big mistake. Engine just can't do that.

[_Rogue_Assassin_]

As much as i like them but performance matters most, hopefully they get removed.

[Suchar]

some kits like the MEC still have 19

Thanks for the information, I will have a look. Should be fixed for the next patch.

[tmzlifestyle]

Is it just me or Fallujah West is crashing on Coop just after loading and clicking squad assignment?

RIP flares

[xpugur]

thanks for update
i have a question,
i installed PR to my other laptop, and for that i also created another steam account from zero, and i recovered 2 of my old PR accounts, but my level still seems 0 (even after recalculating it, my accounts are 2 years old or even more) so how can i fix this? or is it more depended on steam account?

[AlonTavor]

i also created another steam account from zero

but my level still seems 0

Glad to hear its working as intended.
You do not need 2 steam accounts

[*]Updated non-speech Mumble shortcuts back to default. This was done to fix issue with shortcuts

Can't we just roll mumble back to it's functional version? This one is simply FUBAR.

There's still a huge delay for the mic green/blue icon to show up after pressing the push-to-talk key - especially when the in-game FPS is low - and the mic symbol stays on the screen (probably transmitting) for seconds after you let go of the push to talk key.

This new mumble version is simply way too glitchy and feels extremely heavy - I still don't get why would you change it when it used to work perfectly.

Otherwise, is there any way I can install a previous mumble version and still connect? I have barely played PR so far because every match there's a comms issue, this is just ridiculous.
