Patch v1.3

NEW FEATURES

• Air dropped vehicles:
  • Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.
• Co-op:
  • Co-op Mode allows you to play Single Player levels on the Internet and LAN with both AI controlled bots and human players. Several new options have been created that will allow the server creator to modify how the bots behave in game.
  • Number of Bots: This setting allows you to determine the total number of bots that will spawn in game.
  • Bot Ratio: This setting allows you to determine the percentage of total bots that will spawn for each team. For example, setting this value to 25 means that 25% of the total bots will spawn in Team 1, and 75% in Team 2. Team 1 is always the MEC, Chinese, or their allies, while Team 2 is always the USA, EU, and their allies.
  • Bot Difficulty: This setting determines the skill level of the bots. 10 is easiest, 100 is the most difficult.
• Default Kit Selection:
  • The kit that you used last is remembered at the beginning of the round and between maps.

New Feature: Visible UAV

The UAV that is placed by Commanders will now include a visual element. An actual UAV will appear within the UAV detection radius and circle the area. Players will be able to shoot it down, bringing the UAV detection to a premature end. The Commander will be able to continue placing UAVs once the timer resets, as per current design.

Known Issue: ATI Crossfire Cards

Crossfire cards with 256 Megs of memory, running in CrossFire mode will run out of memory at very high resolution settings. On very high resolutions, such as 1920x1440 with 6x antialiasing. In CrossFire mode the ATI drivers are more restrictive about where resources are allocated, and as a result run out of memory sooner than with a single board. This running out of memory causes the device context creation to fail. The result is that the game just sits in a loop with a black screen. If you experience a context creation failure change your resolution to a lower setting (e.g. 1024x768 or even lower).
