NEW UPDATE ANOUNCED

This message is floating around the last days on the Official BFHeroes Forum:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Heroes!

In the next few days we will be deploying a new technical update. This update brings fixes for some of the most common problems:

- We know joining a friends game in Heroes can be somewhat tricky. We’ve been working on a new feature to help improve this for you. Now, when you attempt to join a friend who’s game is full, you will be added to a queue to join automatically when a space comes up.

- We hate cheaters and hackers as much as you do. With this update we’ve implemented some new things to make their life MUCH harder.

- Quite a few of you have been experiencing “Error 15”. For the vast majority of the unlucky this should have now gone away.

While we’ve been working on this technical update, we’ve also been hard at work on a whole new content update. More on what you will find in that very soon!

Here’s the update list in full:
  • Feature: Added support for queuing when trying to join a friend or a bookmarked server
  • Exploit Fix: Fixed an issue that permitted a number of exploits and cheats being used by players.
  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that was causing error 15 in a large number of servers
  • Bug Fix: The game will update/patch properly now, even if you have updated your version of PunkBuster manually
  • Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with banner ads not appearing correctly
  • Bug Fix: Bookmarked Servers should now correctly display online/offline status
  • Bug Fix: Fixed a number of bugs related to VIP system
  • Bug Fix: Fixed a number of server side crashes
  • Bug Fix: Added text strings that were missing

If you want to check/test it out NOW, you can already try it on the PTE!!!

ATTENTION!!!

1. If you receive an error (Can not download Patch info File) when trying to update your version of the PTE you may need to un-install any previous versions and re-download the game.
2. There is a log-in cap and servers are limited to the US east coast and Europe.
