Shamelessly ripped from Penny Arcade, a list of features to be included in the new Battlefield 1942 version 1.3 patch. More sound and memory optimisations, balance tweaks, new gun models and a new Forgive/Punish system for dealing with TK'ers are a few of the changes being made.

Read the whole lot here.

These problems can be avoided by enabling HARDWARE ACCELERATION in the sound options menu

i thought a lot of problems were solved by disabling this option

same

Finally! fixed gun damage.

Took them long enough

sounds good.

go bf!!

I kept your seat warm at QGL strex and still got no love :(

Also - I hope the fix up the assault rifle which does 32895294357 damage from half a map away.

omg sifn't patch.. features sound cool.. woot radio block!

did they add a feature where everyone you play with isn't completely retarded?

no denny, it needs to be "your team isn't full of 12 year old retards"

:/
i've never had any huge issues with the game, it obviously needed tweeking, but for me it was always playable

my problem was always that i had to play it with other people

my problem was always that i had to play it with other people

isn't that the problem with CS?

it would be if i played normal cs

i play CS funmaps where the objectives and maps are so tiny that people can't possibly act like f*****s

Erik: turning hardware sound off fixes lots of sound problems on SBlive cards. However, if you have the hacked down audigy 2 drivers, or in fact install the new 1.3 patch, those problems are fixed. I'm running hardware on at the moment with the new drivers, and it's really sweet. Creative just don't want them used on Live cards because they want people to have to upgrade.

hardware sound = should be enabled?

Mr X, not if you have an SBLive and are using standard SBLive drivers

I don't know why it took them so long to get a proper voting system in place, it's an ESSENTIAL part of any game where ff might be on.

Nice to see the fixes on getting shot in the cockpits too, i was getting rather sick of being killed without a scratch on my plane (or even hearing or seeing the bullets).

cs funmaps are.. fun! i like glasswars :P

I like how the reduced the AA damage vs Planes. Now they are compleatly useless, might as well use the Basooka.

:D

AA rips up planes something bad (provided you can use them of course) and you can't just repair your plane as easily as a tank. Assault guns vs planes was a bit overpowered too, you take alot of damage trying to swoop them.

ermm...i'm guessing if a shell with exploding shrapnel hit a real plane, it would f*** it up. a lot. so why'd they lower the damage :(

actually, you're the fag, as only little CS kiddies talk like that and have their name like that, thinking they're cool

once again, another threads decends into a flame war..

true. my apologies. doesn't change that he's a little CS kiddie though :P

ALtz ur a Fag, I ownz j00 all

k.

I ownz j00

Err, dude, it's illegal to own people & the nazis lost, so no one owns any jews...

what?

the?

Thank god for the improvments on kicking tk'ers.

Ever played CoralSea? TK'ERS EVERYWHERE!

They kill you if you take there plane. But they dont realise that 10sec later another spawns. And while they are killing you, they miss out on the next spawning plane, and then the kill that person.
Its a never ending cycle!

Possibility to tag specific players as a 'buddy' and make them more visible in the minimap

Sounds good

Another new person acting like a ... I dunno, we should make a word for someone like that. Idiot will do for now.

patch changes look good, I was hoping for some f/feedback support for joysticks in there but pfft...ah well

gees Phyco, soon you will want it to be a full on flight sim :p

heh yeh Toll..maybe. :P But I would like some kind of in game calibration for sticks, even if its to set pitch/roll paramters for sticks differently.

Hmm, I might try and get someone to code it for Blackhawk Down psycho, I would love some force feedback.

cool mate, not only would it be great for planes but I am sure a lot would love the rumble and recoil of a big arse tank when she lets loose a slug. Hell AA recoil would be good via a stick, adds to the immersion.

:)
