some of the comments from planetbattlefield said that people had trouble getting it working. anyone have it working? I probably wont need it because I have ASE and the only servers i play on are TG #1 and TG#2

I bought a life-time registration for ASE a few years ago. Before Yahoo took it over it was the best around. It's still good, but Yahoo hasn't done much to improve it.

Still much better than the in-game browser and LameSpy but after reading the PlanetBattlefield forums I'm going to give this one a try.

The only real issue I saw with people getting it to install/work was it isn't obvious you need to have the .NET 1.1 Framework installed. Otherwise, the most recent posts in the PB forum thread are very positive. There was even a comment about it taking less resources and being a bit faster than ASE.

Since all I really play these days is BF2 this may be my new browser of choice. I did see a note that column sorting (i.e. pings) isn't implemented yet but will be soon but for freeware it doesn't look bad.

asch, did you get this downloaded? Unfortunately, it appears the FP link to download it no longer works as I'm re-directed to the main FP page.

Edit: Ah, found it. You have to log-in to FP and then it takes you to the download page for the specific file.

As soon as DICE re-fixes the auto-login we'll be all set!

This browser is no longer active. The developer has disabled it.

From my understanding EA has disabled command line parameters for network join. This means that you cant join the game from any of these third party server browser apps.

Once EA fixes the command line parameters issue then I might give it a go.
