You may not want to install the new patch, apparently it is having problems.

During the first night with the new server files, our Battlefield 2 servers' memory usage managed to climb from 160MB ram to 800MB ram due to memory leaks - per instance. That hurts.
The good news is that EA has been able to reproduce the error - they hadn't seen it previously. However, outside the EA headquarters not a single EA partner has seen a server that runs without memory problems since the patch. It also turns out that Linux servers leak as much memory as the Windows servers do.
EA has now said that it'll make a statement before 12.00 PST/21.00 GMT+1 about what they are going to do about the problems. There are several options:
1) Complete rollback to the previous version 1.0, however all users running version 1.01 are a big issue. EA doesn't know whether the patch can be rolled back. Maybe the game has to be re-installed...
2) Small fix to solve the memory leak problem
However, this is all complicated by the fact that the DICE guys are on their (well-deserved) summer holiday and have to be called back to work. Thus there's a risk of further delays.
