There were serious problems with the Battlefields in the later parts of the game, but I had grown bored with them by then and didn't use them. As long as you stay out of the Battlefields there are no problems with 1.43 - or at least none that I found <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I have read on the forum that the Battlefields in Act Three are impossible to escape from in 1.43, which would certainly be a pain to anyone using them.
