v1.00.03 (11-21-06)
GENERAL
1. Removed obsolete commands from Tactical Orders Menu.
2. Minor localization fixes.
MULTIPLAYER
1. Removed support for UDPSoft master server system in our in-game server browser since Yahoo! (who bought UDPsoft) is no longer supporting it. Now using our own master server app which is now far more responsive and accurate.
v1.00.02 (10-26-06)
GENERAL
1. Updated for DirectX 9 October 2006 Runtime. Run .directx9dxwebsetup.exe to update your DirectX runtime drivers if you haven't done so already.
2. Verified and tested to work under Vista. This does not mean that the game is Vista compliant as that entails several conditions set by Microsoft which are unattainable by most legacy (pre-Vista) software.
MULTIPLAYER
1. Removed support for UDPSoft cd-key auth system since Yahoo! (who bought UDPsoft) is no longer supporting it. Now using our own cd-key auth server.
2. The cd-key number entry is no longer case sensistive.
3. FIXED: Sometimes the wrong character was sent when entering the cd-key number when prompted by the server.
4. FIXED: The game server will no longer abort starting up if the GameCQ master server is off-line or cannot be reached. It will still startup but will not broadcast to the master server and so will not be visible in the GameCQ lobby server list. NOTE: Since Yahoo! is no longer supporting tools licensed from UDPsoft, the in-game server browser which also uses another of their tools, will cease to work at some point in the future. In which case you will only be able to browse (you can still use direct connect via IP. See the game faq) for servers using GameCQ. In the meantime we are implementing a new server browser developed by Replica Software.
v1.00.01 (08-24-06)
MULTIPLAYER
1. A game server no longer reports to the GameCQ master server by default. So /gcq command line parameter was added to enable this. This allows it to report to the GameCQ master server IF the master server is online. To determine if the master server is online, use the GameCQ lobby client app.
NOTE: The GameCQ master server is only used by the GameCQ lobby client app. If servers are not reporting to the master server, they will not appear in the lobby client.
v1.00.00.01 (08-05-06)
MULTIPLAYER
1. FIXED: Joining a server from the GameCQ lobby was executing UCAWA instead of UCSE.
NOTE: This is a minor maintenance update. So the game version will not change. Only the version entry in SETTINGS.INI will change.
