From EA:
A new update for Battlefield 1942 is now available and all official servers have moved to this new version. The update addresses an undisclosed exploit that was reported to EA by community member Luigi Auriemma. Many thanks go to Luigi for identifying and reporting the issue.

Quick review: I'm not sure about what this does for certain, as the explanation above from EA is the only notation about the patch. What undisclosed exploit? What I can tell you is that if you are using a third-party Speed Patch (the no-CD crack released recently), it won't work with this new update. After installation, v1.61 didn't load at all. I reinstalled the Speed Patch, and I was back up and running. My only regret is that I am no longer able to access the EA servers for gameplay, as they will continue to run on the new update only. Should I really be heartbroken about this? You can download it, but as of right now, I don't see it as being a necessity... unless you like the EA servers. Happy fragging!

Yeah... the Hale, as far as I know, has not been updated to this new version. It would be up to the Generals to decide if this update is beneficial to the team. I guess we'll have to see!

I think VR mentioned that there currently isn't a remote manager available that supports this new patch, so we won't be updating until the updated remote manager is available.. or something like that...

Actually ours works great with version bbops "h" They updated our server and then we couldn't get in without updating our games..so we had no choice we have all installed the patch with no probs..well maybe 1..with the speed patch it won't work...you need to uninstall the game to get rid of that speed patch(the one where you dont need your disc)then reinstall everything again..then it all works good...just a little info from a friend ;D Also i believe the patch is to cover up the under the hanger floor flaw..I hated that one

Would have been nice if they made performance improvements in an update....I'm the last usually to update anything...(i.e.win98se still) I guess when all the BIG servers have it I'll take the plunge....
