Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patch Released, DRM Removed

[Sep 21, 2011, 10:12 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The promised patch for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is now available, offering changes and updates for DICE's military shooter sequel, including the removal of the SecuROM wrapper from the non-Steam version of the game. The patch is automatically available through Steam, and a manual version of the 2.6 GB patch is available for download on AtomicGamer, AusGamers, and The Patches Scrolls. Here are the recently released patch notes:

  • 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

EA hates paying customers. Why are they removing the DRM?
