ParoxysM Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Direct links Clients - Incremental Patch - Full Patch Server - Full Patch CLIENT PATCH CONTENTS New Map - Liberation of Caen Liberation of Caen is a new map for BF1942 owners. It includes a whole new army, the Canadians. The army includes the Sexton SPA and the Lynx scout car, as well as new skins, flags, voice overs, and a new Assault rifle and the Johnson M1941 LMG. The Germans in this map are also equipped with a new scout vehicle, the Kettenkrad. New Map - Raid on Agheila Raid on Agheila is a new map playable for owners of the Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack. This exciting map adds a bevy of new vehicles, including mobile spawn points, stationary rocket launchers, a new tank, new self-propelled artillery, and the Flettner, an experimental helicopter. Modifications to Existing Maps The Russian dive bomber, Ilyushin IL-2, has replaced one of the Yak 9 fighters in Kursk and Kharkov. Battle of Britain can now be played using Objective Mode. Secret Weapons of WWII expansion pack is NOT required to play Battle of Britain in this mode. Invasion of the Philippines has been slightly revised. The Japanese Destroyer has been rotated to face North, giving the Japanese a better chance at the start. The out of bounds area has been pushed back, and ticket bleeds have been slightly reduced. Client Specific Changes/Bug Fixes Added support for Punkbuster anti-cheat software Visit www.evenbalance.com for more information. In-game HUD Player and Map Voting Interface Via Scoreboard To access the new scoreboard features either enter the spawn interface and click the Scoreboard button, or press TAB.

Vote to kick players. Vote to kick a player on your team (only your team can vote). Vote for maps. All players can be seen through scrolling the score list. Integrated vote dialog to respond to vote requests. Added two new key bindings map to Yes and No for the vote response dialog (default: Yes: 7 and No: 8). Added a new key binding for quick access to the map vote dialog (default: INSERT). Please note that if you already have these keys bound in your custom profile you will need to assign these functions to other keys or use for them to work. Improved Server Browser Support for favorite servers as a separate list accessible from the filters pane. NOTE: The favorite servers list must be refreshed manually to reflect the latest information from these servers. Added button to place server in favorites list. Much better filters and updated performance. Added new filter buttons: Populated only. Favorites. Pure Servers (Content Check). PunkBuster only Server Information pane will now detail which mods are present in the server rotation - Fixed the "Add server" button in the in-game server browser- now works for servers that use the standard GameSpy BF1942 ports.

Nemesis Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Yea, no kidding Wargasm. I finally got the "patch" & it took a while @ that. I think we should have ParoxysM host the patch for us to download since he gets such stellar connection speeds -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParoxysM Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 From PunkBuster's site: "The initial roll out of PunkBuster for Battlefield 1942 has gone smoothly. We will be adding detection patterns and routines for all public (and many private) BF1942 cheats/hacks during the next few days. As a friendly notice to the BF1942 community, this news post is made about the topic of permanent PB bans. As with other games that are supported by PB, if a player is caught by PB with a hack or cheat that directly modifies PB or interferes with any PB function (including the ability to take accurate screenshots), that player's PB GUID will be immediately subject to permanent ban from ALL PB enabled servers without recourse. It is in direct violation of PunkBuster's license agreement to attempt to use PunkBuster software in a manner not consistent with PunkBuster's design and purpose. This is an issue we take very seriously and for which we do not give extra chances. If you are an honest player or admin, DO NOT attempt to test cheats that interfere with PB on public PB enabled servers. Regardless of what the punks say on their various websites, none of their hacks are undetectable by PunkBuster. If you are caught with one of the hacks that interferes with PB and your GUID is permanently banned from all PB Servers, we will not remove your GUID from the ban list even if you were "testing" or even if another member of your family got caught when using your computer. You will still be able to play the game on and/or host servers that have PunkBuster disabled." I need to test a few things...D'oh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I saw this link and read the entire post. PB appears to be broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I saw this link and read the entire post. PB appears to be broken. It seems like more or less an issue of WHO is running WHAT. Reading thru the postings, and man are there alot of them, some people have issues while others don't. I'm thinking this is an issue w/ everyone constantly "updating" their version of bf1942 everytime some new patch comes out and/or w/ the mods one is running. It could also be w/ what options the server has going @ that time, but I doubt it. I wonder how well a clean install of bf1942 w/ nothing more than patch 1.6 & DC .7 will work? That's my 2 cents on this. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Nem, remember who your talking to. We cant leave anything alone, else we'd still be sportin our P5's. If there's a new toy, we gotta try it. Who cares if occasionally you wind up wiping the drive, thats half the fun. Then we can sit back and smile when we see someone else making the same mistake. If its broke, we'll fix it. If it aint broke, we'll fix it anyway. Remember, the full BF1942 install is a simple 12 step process, but we always seem to get it working in the end.....barring hardware issues. How else could we invent these problems nobody has heard of?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
