BV patch is out
KatEnigma:
I patched, I started to see the first evidence of a memory leak since installing, so I unpatched. (Okay, did the uninstall/reinstall Roomba) No more patching for me until they take the time to fix the memory leak and maybe get rid of the perma-sunburn.
Teren_rox:
I've been following up this situation and I must say:
EAxis that was very unsmart move
I mean BBS is crazy right now but of course there's the kidos that kiss EAxis boots or ass and in other words say that you can trust EAxis.
But most haven't read that people who installed the patchie are having BSOD due to their graphic cards ( Nvidia ) and there's also more problems.
Madame Mim:
I haven't willingly installed an EA patch since Pets. And I just don't understand why people keep doing so. It's simple. Pescado and others work and we finally get our games semi-stable, then the patch comes along and all of a sudden there's new things broken and none of the third party fixes we already had continue to work. If we'd all just agree not to install EA patches modders would have a standard edition to work on for a longer amount of time and our games would all be so much more stable.
Pescado 'good', EA patches 'bad'
(Baaa'd to the 'tune' of Four Legs good, Two Legs bad)

I'm going back and forth on installing this. I know the official word from El Presidente is to not install this, and I really dislike the idea of getting the SecuROM shit back on my machine. But I'm really getting tired of the for-no-apparent-reason lags. I played for about 2 hours last night, and only in dorms (no one went on vacation), and I remember at least 8 times the game would just pause for a couple of minutes for no apparent reason. Nothing but the disk spinning -- the mouse, screen, and sometimes even music was frozen solid.
My PC is 2 years old, but no slouch -- 2.8Ghz processor, 2Gb RAM, ATI/VisionTek X1300 512Mb video card. The only time I ever saw lags like this pre-BV is when the game was rebuilding a catalog. I may bite the bullet just to get rid of the lag, and hope that some expert out there puts out a patched version of the no-cd .exe.
KatEnigma:
:-\ I didn't try it on a new hood, so that MIGHT have been the problem, but my lag got worse post-patch, not better.
Removing SecuRom and going with the hacked exe when I reinstalled BV to get rid of the patch? That made it faster.
