Various Update Patches Available NOW

by Rainier on Sept. 7, 2003 @ 3:58 p.m. PDT

Doing a little Sunday Catchup here with a few files that were missed during the past week. We've got :

  • Battlefield 1942 - Updated v1.45 Patch
  • Rebels Prison Escape - Level 2 Patch
  • IL2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles - v1.1 Patch


  • Read more for download links ...

After the 1.45 patch was released, we identified an issue with the incremental version of this patch. If a user installs BF 1942 under the following order:

BF 1942 > 1.4 Patch > Battle of Britain Free Map > 1.4 - 1.45 incremental patch, the incremental patch installer fails.

The incremental install works fine under the following order:

BF 1942 > 1.4 Patch > 1.4 - 1.45 incremental patch.

We have addressed this issue and wish to re-release the 1.45 incremental patch.

The current version (1.1) is not compatible with the previous versions of the game when playing via network. Both the server and client must have appropriate versions of the game (1.1) in order to connect.

This patch (1.1) can be installed only over the version 1.0.

Weapons

Revised the Ju-87 ‘Stuka’ bomb handling:
- When pressing the bomb trigger (‘Weapon 3’ button), the bombs are released in a conventional way, in pairs like on the other planes.
- Opposed to, when the dive autopilot reaches the recovery altitude, it dumps the payload as awhole.
- You now can adjust the dive autopilot recovery altitude with ‘Increase Bombsight Altitude’ and ‘Decrease Bombsight Altitude’ buttons, alike the level bombers bombsight.

Network

Added two new event types for ‘eventlog’. One is generated when somebody kills a player descending on a parachute, the other one represents an event when his chute is damaged and he begins to free-fall to the ground.
