Im not sure about the file size or weather there will be a small v.38 to v.39 patch. Hopefully there will be. If there is none i may be asking for a CD again ........

shinzon

It says on the blurb there that its compatible with the 1.45 patch, is that also coming out tomorrow or is it already out

Regards

As of yet i havent heard anything of the v1.45 patch. EA/Dice are keeping quiet on that. There is a chance that it may be released tomorrow but as of now no news has been released.

The 1.45 patch will possibly have something to do with the Secret Weapons Of World Ward II expansion pack [Release Date: 5th September 2003]. I know with Road To Rome there was a 1.25 patch that only existed on the RTR CD and was never released.
This 1.45 patch probably adds some features to Battlefield1942 for Secret Weapons compatability. I know the DC team have been given [i think] patches by Dice in development. Thus helping the DC team create patches as quick as possible.

We will just have to wait though. Ill have information on it as quick as possible. Though ill be busy weekend tomorrow. [Friday and Saturday down here]

**** Note: You need Desert Combat 0.38 to install 0.39K ****

Good ole' Rev Hellfire adding a local Mirror , you are the savour. I need a server and Broadband connection. And moer Barcardi and 7up. im almost out. Back in Dublin tomorrow lunchtime. I have a LOT of downlaoding to catch up on

DC 0.39k is quite tasty alright. New sounds galore - radio chatter has been shortened, M16A2 sounds chunkier, with an iron sight on the grenade launcher (but theres a bug if you select it then get into the M103 artillery launcher), hydras and hellfires have new smoke trails, the hydras twist and turn, looks really cool The Apache's seem easier to fly, too.

Oil Fields is a great new map, the animations from the flames look really nice. Haven't found the Dune Buggy yet, nor the Cruise Missile. It's a lot more aesthetically and aurally pleasing, overall.

I love the cock.

It's true.

And I'll love yours too, if you send me a cd-r. Tbh.

For some reason .38 wouldnt install on me comp from the pcgamer disk

dieselfreak

I like the afterburner, and new smoke trails from the missiles, and the m16 now sounds great, but..

On DublinWAN theres quite a few gamers playing the DC mod, and have been doing so for some time now.

Since installing the .39k patch we've experienced a crash of all systems when a "chopper duel" is in progress.

Judging by other forums were not alone, so uninstalled it and went back to .38d, a shame

I hope they sort this soon

Im a bit sad the Stealth Fighter wasn't in it this time around
I was looking forward to seeing how they handle

I was watching the discovery channel and apparently they handle like a brick

I wounder if they will be true to life when it comes out

Meadows

If it asks fer the 2nd disk, its cos the file on the disk was only about 50MB, or less, and the actual size is upwards of 300MB
