1.02 client+server patch now released!


(nate.h) #61

According to Bani, this is not compatible with the existing mods yet. I wont be installing this on my servers until they both get the code again.[/quote]

Shrub has a beta version of the 1.1 shrubmod that is supposed to work with ET 1.02/2.56. I’m running it on my servers right now ([UVA] et al., http://www.methkettle.net ), and haven’t seen any bugs first hand yet (though the server’s been a bit under used since people don’t seem to be caught up with the upgrades yet :frowning: )

Well… can Splash Damage give us a hint: how soon would these flaws be corrected by next patch?


(clemster) #63

Let me start off by takink my hats off to Splashdamage for this excellent excellent game. A game that is worth much much more than the price paid. :wink: I love this game and I’m not about to stop playing but the new patch is very buggy.

Most noticable and frustrating is the framerate/lag issue. I own a P4 3.0 Ghz with 1 Gig ram, a GeForceFX 5600 and a DSL connection. So basically my system should be able to chew this game and spit it out in all it’s glory. Which it did until the latest patch. Despite having a ping of <50 on a server, the lag can get quite unbearable. Now I admit this could be a player with hacks, but it’s been too consistent across too many servers.

Not being able to pick up items is quite annoying and can be deadly at times. :wink: You can get around it by USE-ing the items, but having to look at your feet as you run by is not a good thing. Sometimes objects can’t be used either, like tanks, turrents and doors.

Losing your team between maps is just a minor annoyance, but an annoyance none the less.

The new voting system is great. Not being able to vote on other teams votes is very smart and being able to disable mines and strike complains lessens the formal complaining.

Unfortunately word on the street is servers such as puregamer.com are highly considering switching back to the old patch because the problems of this patch are just too big to justify the fixes.

Let me re-iterate that I LOVE this game and you (SplashDamage) have created an excellent game that I would be more than willing to buy off the shelf. Please know that these critisisms are meant to be taken constructively.

Please keep up the great work boyz!
Clemster.

the question is will there be a new patch.
And we all know by experience that they are not gonna tell us that…

Is any one else having an issue with locking up after the Introduction Video of ET? After patching, and installing several fresh installations on my box, I can’t get past the introduction video to the menu. My system freezes, I can see my mouse cursor when I try to shell back to XP but the image from the video is locked on. I’m assuming this is a vid card issue, but thought I would post it. I’m using a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000.

Thx,

Honor

Sounds like a videocard (driver) issue indeed.
Probably this won’t help but put this in your config file:
seta com_introplayed “0”

this will skip the intro, but I expect your pc to still crash.
Maybe your pc/videocard has trouble with the animated menu?


(EazyTarget) #67

no servers show up now after i installed the patch i have all my stuff set the way it was b4 so i don’t know whats wrong, i installed a fresh copy along with the patch and still nothing can anyone tell me what is wrong?


(bman) #68

(GAS:InvisableKid) #69

(doG) #70

that being sent to speccy bug at the start of a new map can be a real pain if im playing as a panzer as someone may get their before me and chave it

(pgh) #77

Theres more than one. Use the search fs :]


(squadjot) #78

thats the prob :wink:


(Cryptos) #79

The 1.02 patch only made it worse :banghead:
Something needs to be done about the instabillity with NVIDIA drivers so it won’t crash anymore.
We need a patch witch will be tested with the 53.xx ForceWare Drivers first.

If Spashdamage could do this for us, they would make a lot of ET fans ferry happy. :bump: :clap:

That is a PB and Nvidia issue, not an ET issue. So go complain to evenbalance and nvidia.
