Moon Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Combat Mission: Red Thunder v1.03 patch (PC/Mac) CM: Red Thunder - News Friday, 19 December 2014 The v1.03 patch provides a number of important improvements and fixes, including the infamous "26% bug" for those affected, improved stability of internet play, improved building entry for some systems, a mouse text targeting feature indicating range, improved TacAI logic, and much more. It is all-inclusive and can be installed over any version of the game (1.0 thru 1.02) The v1.03 patch is available for PC and Mac. CMRT v1.03 WHATS NEW Corrected the PBEM/saved-game crash bug (note: applies to v1.01 and v1.02 but not old saved games from v1.00). Corrected the “pause bug” when dragging a waypoint. Shrapnel is modeled with higher fidelity. Antiaircraft weapons won’t shoot if the gunner is hiding. Vehicles that are hiding are more difficult to hear, even compared to stationary non-hiding vehicles.

rocketman Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Tanks that "hide" now with the patch are harder to spot. Does it take long for a hiding tank to get moving again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowLarry Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yesss, very cool! Nice start for the weekend! Thx a bunch. Is it me or does the moviemode look just a little more colored? Looks perfect to me now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Tanks that "hide" now with the patch are harder to spot. Does it take long for a hiding tank to get moving again? No. And to the best of my knowledge, hiding tanks are not more difficult to spot. I wish they were, and in fact I did suggest it when I reported this bug but Charles gave no indication that he implemented that. So AFAIK, it just reduces the range at which enemy units can gain a sound contact on them. In other words, it now works like the manual says it does.

Chops Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks for the patch, however, the "Pause Bug" is not fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) The explosion pixels (shrapnel) look really nice, they are smaller and rounded, much better asthetically. It's funny how something so seemly small can make such a difference to the visulas. EDITED: Or does the "Shrapnel is modeled with higher fidelity" mean something completely different than visual effects and I just haven't played RT enough to realize the pixels had already been changed? Thanks for the patch. I wasn't even close to expecting another one antime soon. Mord. Edited December 20, 2014 by Mord 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanir Ausf B Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yeaahh, the shrapnel thing actually refers to an increase in the lethality of explosions. AFAIK there is no change in the graphics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Oh sweet! Will CMBN get some of these improvements or it already has them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Oh sweet! Will CMBN get some of these improvements or it already has them? It should, but when is another question. BF's intent to keep the engine uniform implies that eventually what is in the release will make it to the other game families. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Tanks that "hide" now with the patch are harder to spot. Does it take long for a hiding tank to get moving again? Probably not. But excellent question. Starting a Sherman appears to have been a rather time consuming procedure: http://www.8th-armored.org/misc/36-start.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 hmmm, is something different about this patch? My A/V software (webroot) simply won't let the game run after installing the patch. First time that's EVER happened in several years of use... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 New seurity measures were attached to it. Put your CMBN on your antivirus's ignore list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Can anyone explain what these new security measures are? And putting CMRT on the ignore list didn't seem to work. I've contacted webroot and they are looking into the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76mm Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks, but I'm posting about CMRT, not CMBN, so not sure how that helps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks, but I'm posting about CMRT, not CMBN, so not sure how that helps? it is using the same protection so that's why I pointed it to that post. If it doesn't allow it for you then contact Battlefront helpdesk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have a question. I installed the patch and got the message that it was successful, but when I launch the game, the opening page still reads as version 1.00. Is this normal or did I miss something in the installation process? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 When I turn off my AV and can run the game, mine shows 1.03. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hister thanks. I took a look at your link and noted that it says that "this new system is not using individual module.exe files any more, making it much less prone to anti-virus software false positives." Yeah, oh well... Never had a problem till now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's why I gave you the link, hehe. Looks like the change isn't liked by your AV program regardless of the game being less suseptible to such alerting now. You should just use Microsoft security essentials AV. It's free and does not give false positives. I am more then happy user with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
