All Bad Company 2 servers have been updated to version R9 this build includes a number of crash fixes.

The full change list is:-

• admin.say command implemented 
  • - the output currently looks a bit funky on the game client, like so:    Player: [Server]:   but with the next game client it will look like:     Server:
• admin.yell to squad has changed (you need to specify both team and squad)
• squad numbering has changed - the "no squad" squad has ID 0, and real squads are 1 and up.
• Autobalance improved, it shuffles people both during and between rounds now, and does a better job. Note: There is currently no way to turn it off
• mapList* commands reworked
• banList* commands reworked
• listPlayers command added
• admin.listPlayers command reworked (GUID, kills, deaths, ping and score added)
• Players have non-PB GUIDs now (these are distinct from PB GUIDs)
• onChat event reworked
  • now it specifies target player subset as well
  • shows text before profanity filtering
  • client-originated chat messages starting with "/" make it to the server, and broadcast via onChat, but are not broadcast to other game clients
  • use "/!" if you want to be able to send commands to your homemade rcon tools without showing the commands to other players
• player.onAuthenticated added (it's triggered when a player receives GUID)
• player.onSquadChange, player.onTeamChange implemented
• Couple of crash fixes
• Support for server-side "region" setting (not yet used by the game client)
• Ranked ON forces game-password OFF
• Ranked and PunkBuster settings can only be changed during server startup
• A server is marked as "hardcore" either when Friendly Fire is enabled, or when all the typical hardcore settings (hardcore killcam minimap etc) have been flipped
• exposed number of rounds per maps in maplist.txt, and via the remote admin commands
