yay, i dont play it on-line, but it rocks at LAN parties, for those who havent tried it, play the Desert Storm mod, it rocks, but the migs are a bit sh*t, far too fast with inaccurate weapons and pointless in dogfights, but apart from that its superb, love the choppers.

My god this patch is the business. New weapon sounds, models, and the graphics and AI routines have been streamlined and optimised. It now visibily runs better on my machine, and can even bump up the detail now a lot more. Fair play to EA for eventually getting it right.

Patch Readme

Well worth downloading if you have performance issues with the game.

Also, here is a shot of the wallhack, screen taken from http://www.bf42.com. Hope Dice get a 1.4 patch out quick and pix the problem. There already working on it now.

Most players seem to hate the patch...

Flak supposedly does 50% less damage to aircraft, and most handheld weapons do less aswell. Even good pilots are saying that this is making the planes almost invincible, more players seem to be queueing for planes now and some maps (like market garden) have become incredibly onesided.

Alot of people are saying that the game is now crashing alot in XP, and that sounds aren't working properly. The old trick of turning off hardware sound accel in windows and in the game doesn't seem to work as well anymore.

Ive read a few who like it, this patch certainly isnt as welcome as the 1.2 one was.

er!!! Screwed up patch?
Most of the servers and forums i go to love the patch.
Performance is incredible now,netcode is better,better sounds.
Basically everything runs so much smoother now.Ive heard AI are really good now.I havent tried them yet but dont really care as online is where this game comes into its own.
The wall hack thingy was just a debug command left in by accident and Dice know what sort of a monster game they have on their hands therefore will and have been proving their commitment to improving things.
The performance increase is incredible with this patch.

KdjaCL

Seems to be 50-50 love hate from what i seen.

Cons
Wall hack
AA gun
Sounds

Pros
server is better
ping is better
Tking fixed.


Im happy with it but those aa guns are stupid someone on our forums making a "fix the aa gun mod" wonder how many dloads that will get.

I just got the game and reckon it's about time I got my ass handed to me online. I know it's been asked before, but recommend any good servers?

spooky donkey

I was thinking of getting to this game to play at LAN`s and such like but with a load of patches to worry about its purring me off!

Is this game worth the bother?

KdjaCL

This is possibly the best multiplayer game ever made.
Its different to CS and MOH in that you have to work as a team to win.

Its even fun when your losing and getting pushed back to your base.
Never played it on a LAN tho do play online almost everyday.

Some good servers

I'm an absolute monster in those fighters.. I don't see why they're making them more resistent to hand-held weapons. The flak guns did need to be toned down a bit though, they require zero skill to use.

can you patch from retail with the 1.3 update or do you have to update to 1.2 first?

There should be a full patchand an update, if your on version 1.0 you will need the full patch, if your on 1.2 you only need the update.

Woden

hmm want to update this game running 1.0 at the moment, can't seem to find a full upgrade to 1.3 should i just download 1.1 and 1.2 first?

Pugsley

That 47meg is the full update, shouldnt need the others for it.

Woden

cheers

Yes! In concept it's like Operation Flashpoint, except for the fact that it's fun. It's way easier to get into, and more like a game than a simulation.

my bf1942 1.2 used to work fine, now with 1.3 I get crashed out to desktop or in worse cases my computer resets totally.. no amount of troubleshooting on the planetbattlefield forums or elsewhere has helped..

apparently dice/eagames are working on this ..

BKtje

they are working on a 1.31 patch.

There are still a lot of 1.2 servers so just go back to 1.2 and play on those.
