In order to play the game on the new game server version you need to patch your installation with the patch located ( here ).

Please note that this patch is not backwards compatible, meaning that you won’t have the possibility to join servers which are still running older version of the software.

Patch R32 for Bad company 2 servers has been released.

Changelog as follows:

- The PunkBuster module can now start talking to master servers immediately once the server has connected to Plasma (about 30 seconds after launch). This means that any server that has been online for 30+ minutes should have auto-updated itself to the latest PunkBuster version by then. Prior versions of the game server required a player to enter the game server before it was able to talk to the master servers.

- The current version of the PunkBuster module can be queried via the serverInfo command
- Added info about join queue enabled/disabled status to serverInfo command
- Added server region setting information to serverInfo command

All game servers will be autopatched till tomorrow morning.
However you can install the update yourself by visiting http://gpanel.diabolic-servers.com and clicking on “Game updates”.

The master servers for BFBC2 will be taken down at 10AM GMT+1 Friday morning. The purpose is to fix something that could otherwise cause login problems for some EA accounts in the future.

While the master servers are down, all game servers will become unavailable.

Dice has released R30 Server patch for Bad company 2 / Vietnam.

Changelog:

• Some vehicles on Operation Hastings, Panama Canal CQ, White Pass CQ and Laguna Presa CQ did not get destroyed when left unattended. This has been corrected.
• Servers send player stats to the master servers less often (this reduces load slightly on the stats database)
• Fixed a major memory leak
• More protection against bogus data being sent from game clients
