According to a recent post on the official EA Battlefield: Bad Company 2 forums, the big ole' PC patch for the follow-up is now live. Among the host of fixes are a host of tiny single-player bug squashes, including a fix for character voice issues and low volume problems during the cut-scenes. The MP component has received the brunt of the work. Serious server browser woes have been addressed, and even flickering assets got an extra pass.
The full list of the fixes is available below the fold. If you have the Steam version of the game, it looks like your patch will be delayed just a bit more due to the service's lengthier QA process. EA apparently expects it to hit tomorrow.

Here's hopes that we'll see a more tweak focused patch for all versions of the game soon.
Hell, maybe they'll do it right and provide new content to all versions through patches... Minor stuff like new all class weapons and whatnot...
Though chances are they'll launch a booster pack and charge for it.
The weird thing is there's an auto updater but it doesn't check for updates when you launch the game and you have to launch it from the program folder.
It's really pathetic how everyone is hailing DICE as some sort of Demigod yet they can't even get standard features they've had from their 5 year old game right. I see Bad Company 2 as a huge step back from Battlefield 2.
I think I'm love with battlefield, as always......
Before the patch, when the server browser wasn't working at all, I just had to hit "Play now" and the game would find a nice server for me. Now, after the patch, and can join a game both way.
Did I say I'm love with battlefield???
AMEN
