Game Bug Fixes

DICE released a small hotfix today to fix a crashing issue when users would Alt + Tab out Battlefield 2.
A large number of players who have installed 1.50 have been unable to use ALT+TAB without the game crashing out to Windows desktop. As such and with thanks to nea_alecu doing some investigations, our programmers have come up with a fix.
- Download the attached file
- Extract it into your Battlefield 2 install directory (you must have v1.50 installed already)
- When prompted accept that you want to over write the existing file
- In My Documents go to Battlefield 2\mods\bf2 and delete the cache directory
- Run BF2 as normal
We are also working on a full installer which will be the 2Gb file for those who are new to Battlefield 2 v1.50. This will replace existing files once ready and I will post here when that is released.

Sandbox 1.0.1 for Battlefield 2 patch 1.50 has been released.
Sandbox 1.0.1 adds the eight new maps in update 1.50 to the mod, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the potholes of Road Rage and ditches of Taraba Quarry, then drop boats on them. This release also fixes a few bugs that were discovered by players in 1.0 over the past couple of months.
Sandbox 1.0.1 is fully compatible with Sandbox 1.0 – as long as you have BF2 1.50 installed, you can join any servers running either 1.0 or 1.0.1. Of course, server admins should go ahead and update now. You can see the full changelog in the readme.
