After the massive rush to download the Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC beta client on Thursday, players have been dealing with a rather odd bug that causes the beta to crash to desktop when using the game's server browser. Now it looks like developer Digital Illusions is aware of the bug but has a rather simple workaround for the issue.

On the game's UK message boards, a DICE rep states, "We are aware of a number of crashes when people are using the server browser in game. Please help us pin point the issue by avoiding the use of the browser and instead using the PLAY NOW button. This will help us locate the cause as well as allow you into the beta servers without CTD." So in other words this is the equivalent of the old joke, "Doctor it hurts when I do this." "Well then don't do that." Hehe.
