Har fulgt med i hans tweets siden den her patch blev annonceret, og hvis vi ikke får den mandag er det sikkert samme grund som vi ikke fik den i onsdag... =P Konstant udskudt pga elendig overholdelse af egen deadline

De har vist ikke lovet nogen patch på mandag endnu, blot sagt at det tidligst bliver på mandag (hvis den fejl steam qa fandt igår er blevet rettet).

Hvorfor fanden er der ikke en option, så man kan fjerne det forbandede muse acceleration

Men altså der sker noget ... blev helt nervøs den anden dag jeg faldt over en tråd hvor man fik opfattelsen af at de bare ville udgive bc2Vietnam og måske patchen ville komme i den pakke...

The PKM, Type 88LMG, G3, An94, and 40mm shotgun have returned to their former glory.  Hvor har den været henne ? - betyder jeg powner endnu mere nu ??+ muhahaha

<3 BC2

"BFBC2 PC patch is back on its way for STEAM compatibility testing with Kalms making all the fixes and QA here confirmed it working."  http://twitter.com/Bazajaytee/status/16926100828

Så hvis de har rettet de problemer Steam fandt (man må formode at både dice og EA QA har checket dem) er mandag/tirsdag vel rimelig realistisk. Altså forudsat at steam ikke bare har sendt den retur ved den første fejl de fandt...

Nå med jeg er nu mest glad for disse ændringer ...

Server - Ticket counts and bleed rate are controllable per-level

- Knifing people in the back works again (we backed out the change that we had done for Server R11)

Fixed a bug where the Saiga12 with slugs would do too much damage at long range.

Fra Twitter:

7thbpoint: "Patch still due for monday? Looking forward to it! keep up the good work!

Bazajaytee: "Not sure about the patch. The call will be made tomorrow based on results and best release scheduling etc"

Hvor virker det bare forsikrende...

Så må vi bare se om den skulle komme i dag, kunne da være rart bare for engangs skyld :D

Twitter:

 

Ja, det ser endelig ud til at den kommer på onsdag:

"After a lot of trials and tribulations, all versions of the game client has now completed QA successfully.
We will do no more testing on it.

All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on Wednesday Jun 30th at 07:00AM (GMT+2). Most of them should be back up by 11:00AM (GMT+2).

During this time window, we will also release the new game client.

Check back after 11:00AM (GMT+2), and try out the new game client!"

Så er patchen frigivet! :)

890 MB er da alligevel pænt stort for en patch :Oo

Nogen af jer der har afprøvet den endnu?

Sidder her på kontoret og overvejer den bedste undskyldning for at blive syg og smutte hjem.. :)

Flot... Nu får jeg konstant at vide at jeg skal reloade.. selv når jeg spawner og ikke har brugt våbnet endnu... For helvede DICE ...!

Den kan være jævnt irriterende at have på i længden..

Ja, det er ret træls at den reload tekst fryser fast indtil man spwaner igen.

Jeg har spillet det meste af dagen, og kan ikke sige der har været et eneste tidspunkt hvor jeg har tænkt: "ÅRH FFS! DET SKIDE RELOAD ER SKYLD I JEG FAILER!" :P

Patchen løste mine problemer med knife kills...  På 1 måned lykkedes det mig at få 4 knifekills så jeg opgav faktisk kniven i og lod mig dø hvis jeg var tør for ammunition i en nærkamp... Siden patchen kom ud har jeg høstet noget der ligner 10 dogtags på samlet 4 timers spil - så jeg er ihvertfald glad :-)
