Battlefield 1942 v 1.1 Patch is out.

[HoowahMan]

Yes, check it out at www.bluesnews.com and download at 3dgamers.com or fileshack.com.

SERVER FIXES
-Improved server stability.
-Fixed bug that caused server to say it was full when it wasn't.
-Servers started from in-game now use settings from dedicated server
tool if those settings are not in the in-game Create Game front-end.
-LAN servers no longer report to Gamespy master server.
-Limiting the bandwidth now works from the dedicated server

CLIENT FIXES
-All Seeing Eye server browser support added.
-Fixed refresh rate locked to 60 hz in Win2k and XP machines. We're working on getting
this fix for Win98 and ME machines, but we're waiting for dev support from Microsoft
before we can proceed. To enable this on Win2k and XP machines do the following:
-Open the videodefault.con file found in Settings\VideoDefault.con
-Edit the line: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates # (where # can be replaced
by 0 or 1)
-Changing this value to one will allow you to select the refresh rates from the
Options>Video section of the in-game frontend. NOTE: the game will default to 640x480.
-Fixed bug that caused ammo-boxes and health-cabinets to not work occasionally.
-Considerably faster internent in-game browser.
-Added icon in the in-game browser for dedicated servers.
-Added icon in the in-game browser for password protected servers.
-Added icon in the in-game browser showing server CPU status, if it's doing well or if
it's bogged down by too many players for it's capacity (this is dependant upon the CPU
not the bandwidth).
-Added server CPU info in the in-game browser under the server info>rules tab.
-Chat text in-game has it's own color so it's easier to see.
-Server version number will show correctly in server info> rules tab
-Fixed some instances of the internet browser crashing when pressing yes to update to
newer version on a 98 machine.
-Fixed player ability to sink Jeeps and Kubelwagens into the ground.
-Fixed free spectator camera does not turn off, even when unchecked in the server.

Think you mean www.bluesnews.com, that other address goes to somewhere else.

Edit: Oh, you fixed it.

[odanelus]

So this must mean release is close upon us... yay.

[StarFucker]

everytime i try to connect to a server it fails. anyone have or know how to fix this problem?

[HoowahMan]

I think that might be because servers need to upgrade to 1.1 as well? *Shrug* also after this update my menu text is kinda screwed up anyone get this?

[deth502]

This sux!!! so far no luck actually connecting to any servers. But lets hope that the final release aint to far off

[Cyberz]

ok

Why does everyone keep saying "I hope the release is soon"..? Can't you people fucking read? The release date is set as Sept. 10 if you did some research.

I think they mean that they hope the iso will be released sooner.

WOn't be able to play online with the iso anyway, just buy the game ;-)

[StarFucker]

[ZiNo]

Only drawback is that it consumes alot of bandwith when you play the game online Anyone know the excact upload and download in megabytes when you play the game for an hour???

You sure it's gonna have a key to play MP? If so where did you find this out? Not a rag, just a question. Btw-if pre-ordered from EB you get free shipping+$10 coupon at EB (should be a rebate, bastards). But it's still $45. Not that I can't afford it, games here where I live go on sale when the weekend hits. Example, SOF2 $50, on the 1st weekend it was $35.

I'm just pretty sure of that... A big company like EA games always protects their games with cd-keys, maybe there will be some work-around but i doubt it... And I also think games are too expensive, I agree with that, but buying one game a year must be affordable I guess, at least it is for me

Yes, you have a point there... But let's just wait and see, my guess is that you'll need a valid cd-key...

Isn't counter-strike enough.

[Norco]

Not sure what your implying, but CS is Sierra...

[HoowahMan]

definitely there will be a cd-key. When was the last time a game didn't have one? A big MP game? Quite a while ago I'd think. Maybe UT?

I dunno.
