phil stanbridge Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Regarding the CDV patch can someone please tell me what's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 As soon as the 1.03 beta patch is done being tested we will release the official 1.03 patch in both CDV and Battlefront flavors. ETA, when its ready. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 It being the last CMBB patch and all, every i has to be dotted and every t has to be crossed. Nobody want anything like that old unhittable AT gun problems to pop up in the last patch. We can easily forget just how subtle a simulation CMBB is. All that arcane board discussion about russian penetration values and German armor quality actually does show up in the game in the end! I'm mighty impressed by the level of scholarship involved, and equally impressed by their willing to go that last mile to do it right. I tip my hat to BFC.

Meach Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Any idea how big the new patch will be? I am really looking forward to the patch and I suppose if it takes longer it is cos they are working on it and refining it. We don't want or need a half-baked patch, so if it takes a little longer then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I'd bet the patch will probably be just about the same size as the Beta 1.03 patch was. I can't remember, was that 6 megs compressed, or something? A regular walk-in-the-park compared to past patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 The final 1.03 might be larger than the beta depending on whether BTS will be adding new models or textures in the patch. IIRC, these graphic elements are what push patch sizes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meach Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 So say about 8Mb for arguments sake. fair enough. I don't think we will have that much longer to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Originally posted by Meach: I don't think we will have that much longer to wait. Wouldn't bet on that... because, I just today noticed a game-destroying realism killer! In real life, Finns noticed that the original 50 hp engine of the three-axle BA-10 ac was not powerful enough. This otherwise useful armoured car was improved by replacing their engines starting in the autumn of 1943 with 95 hp Ford V-8 engines. All the armoured cars were modified. In CMBB, however, Finnish BA-10 has only a 50 hp engine in 1944, making this AC almost useless against IS-2. I demand a fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimorodok Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Sergei, did you really say "useless against an IS-2?" You use BA-10 Armored cars against IS-2's? :eek: Zim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 No new models this time around. Patch should be less than three megs in size or approximately the same size as the current 1.03 public beta. Closing this thread up now. When we have an update to report on the 1.03 status, we will make it. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
