So this has been a fairly big news week with the DLC release and all, so here's a bit more:

We just got word that the title update has FINALLY passed through all but the final stages of the submission process. It is planned to be released in the next couple of days, maybe as soon as in the next 24 hours. It's been a long time coming, and we truly appreciate your patience. Here is a list of the fixes:



TU2 Details

* Fixed Voice communications issue that occurred after player had connected with 30 other players over time
* Changed Ranked Rooms so that players may only be Kicked from the Room after playing a match
* Changed Ranked Scoring to remove scoring penalty for losing to much lower ranked players
* Changed information displayed in Search Results to show Host's Camera Options instead of IFF information
* Fixed Player Rank appearing as 1 after playing in player matches
* Fixed some problems relating to sending invites and joining sessions not always being available for player matches

* Fixed Zone problems on some maps that cause the zones to begin neutral in Territory Games and caused flags not to be able to be captured in Objective games

* Fixed Several bad Solo spawn points on Locks
* Fixed problem with Helicopters stopping spawning occasionally on Helo Hunt
* Fixed issue in Clan Matches where scoring elements might be removed if a client disconnects during loading
* Fixed Officer related scoring issue in Team Objective
* Fixed problem with Clan invitations not being able to be dismissed in certain circumstances
* Changed message relating to duplicate clan invites being sent to be more clear
* Fixed problem causing some interactive objectives to not complete properly in Co-Op Campaign Missions
* Fixed bug causing connection quality bars to sometimes flicker wildly in custom search list



Again, thanks for your patience with us in this matter, and I look forward to seeing you online, hopefully not in the "Kill Cam" view!

Thanks for the update. It is much appreciated.

Very nice.. There are only a few items that aren't bug fixes (prevent kicking, change scoring rules, and search for FPV rooms), but they're all things that I've seen specifically requested here in the forums. THANKS!

The list also looks like it's all related to multiplayer. Was anything updated on the single player side (freeze issues, etc)?

Now that the PS3 version is out, PC version out, Throwback pack 2 is out, and the update is almost out, will you be working on NEW maps and new weapons?

* Fixed Player Rank appearing as 1 after playing in player matches

brilliant thankyou. I have been whinging about this bug for months. I know now i can go play player matches then ranked with no STRESS cheers!!!


Changed Ranked Rooms so that players may only be Kicked from the Room after playing a match
* Changed Ranked Scoring to remove scoring penalty for losing to much lower ranked players

Excellent. these two changes will bring back the enjoyment in Ranked games - and hopefuly ease the EGO factor in some ranked rooms. Nothin like being booted by a 1 rank above u player who really isnt that good anyhow haha excellent stuff

So the hundreds, if not thousands, of us whose gamertag has somehow mysteriously become "corrupted" and can no longer play the MP portion of GRAW 2 still get overlooked huh? Garbage.

Well then, I'm off to play the CoD4 Beta! Even in Beta stage my gamertag still works!

Thanks. The Hosts view option is an impressive addition to the game.

Was thinking it was just me when the connection bars started dancing away merrily.

I hope the whole "cannot boot until played a match" doesn't result in people closing the room only to reopen with the "higher" ranked players invited in.

Now can someone please fix my inability to score a kill, I mean it happens all the time so it must be a bug

Excellent stuff, guys. It's good to see that these forums do actually work! All of the above have been regularly requested by the posters here.

Allowing the host camera view will keep the FPV guys a lot happier I'm sure, and the improvement to the rank rooms is very welcome. A lot more rank 1's and 2's should now start coming in and ranking up I hope.

Some of you high rankers will take the slapping you deserve. You've forced a lot of good players out of rank all together by not letting them get into rooms.

Good stuff there, now I'm looking forward to playing tonight.

Thanks for the Info.

Thanks geridak, I've passed the info on

Maybe this should be held back until the Goverment District Map is fixed from loss of sound and freezing issues

Check my other thread about the new issues currently being experienced with the new DLC Throwback Pack 2

he works for RS they only handled the mutiplayer.
ubi will have to answer to the single player portion. like that will ever happen.

as for the update
this is great. i dont play ranked but they are good fixes.
the FPV search is awsome. much needed.

as for the voice.
why could someone not come in and say what was causing is so we would know untill the patch got here. its great you guys fixed it and we did eventually find a way around it but it would have been nice to know.
did knowone want to acnowladge that this was a problem till the fix was definatly found.? this was not in the first list of problems being worked on.

Any info on this update?

I was one of the people who took the time to complain about some of those issues, so let me take the time to say "thank you" for fixing them, it is greatly appreciated.

I'm with you there, but I lucked out it was only a one month trial account that became corrupt and froze every time I loaded the multiplayer portion of the game.

On a side note...that gamertag was FirstPersonGRAW, so I'm quite happy that they finally added a way to find rooms forcing 1st person.

Just too bad they were so busy making the PS3 version, because I sold both copies of GRAW2 after an unenjoyable evening where I hosted games of Blind Siege for a couple of hours and couldn't find anyone who knew what they were supposed to do!

Ranked games were always more enjoyable for me, that night and many others like it I would come across so many Ghost Recon noobs (in player matches) that don't know to play Siege and don't ask any questions! I swear, most of the Ghost Recon veterans have left the series or only play ranked :/?

I thought the flicking bars was a feature, if I remember correct they was present in the demo as well. Regarding the mic "fix" is this going to fix the problem when you drop out of a room and renter and no one can hear you anymore?

That's awesome! Thanks for the info
