Problem with Update 1.01

[A TIN OF IRNBRU]

Just thought I'd stick this up.

Community Update - 7/8/05

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.

Basically all your memory on the game is deleted so you loose accounts and rankings i think.

nope...

...in a nutshell..

a memory leak happens when an application doesn't control how it uses the ram on your computer properly

rather than flush used memory so it frees up space for the next action, it uses free space, and it keeps using it till there is none left.

...then the application usually crashes...

naaaaa it is more like this:

The programe asks the system to make a memory block and then doesn't use it, over and over again. First normal RAM then when you are out of it it will make a swap file. That swap file will get bigger and bigger the longer you run the game, untill you completly run out of all sorts of memory. The the game crashes and you return to windows where all memory is cleared.
