Bad, Bad Company: Broken Battlefield?

Looks like the new BFBC2 patch (which just rolled out on Steam and has been available to non-Steamers for a couple of days) is chock full of problems. Tom Francis over at PCG has collated some of the problems people claim to be having, which includes crashes and connection problems. I can report that it's crashed to desktop for me since I patched on Steam this morning, although I've had stability for three games in a row now, so maybe it's okay. Hmm. (You can opt out of the patching on Steam, but that means starting it up offline, I think.) Which is probably a good thing, because I have stacks of work to and an interview to transcribe, but...

Anyone else having any issues?
