Cpt Kernow Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 At what looks like a reputable german website http://gamesweb.com/pc/downloads/patches/detail.php?item_id=29252 You can download what they claim to be the CM patch v1.o1. In a post not to far from this MAT said that patch was not out. Im very confused as if you goto this sight it really looks like it is. Think theres been a comunication breakdown somewhere. What I want to no is: Is this patch official, do BFC approve of it (I dont care what CDV think about it, and I suspect they have released it.) Is it safe to download or should we wait? Sorry aslo for satarting a new thread that is very similar to one below but Matt had allrewady posted in that and his anwser left things still ambiguos. We (I) need to get BFC's official word on this patch at this specific website.

Scheer Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi all, this thing is 68 MB. Didnt Matt and Steve state that the patch would be around 25 MB ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoerner Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 It's the patch 1.01 for all CDV-versions. Read here: www.combatmission.de under DOWNLOADS [ November 21, 2002, 12:59 PM: Message edited by: Schoerner ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I would then have to guess that the OTHER non CDV patch for the rest of the known world will be forth coming VERY soon like today or tomorrow! -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 68mb?? wowsers.. So will it work with the UK CDV version then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakim Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Guess it should work for all versions that CDV distribute, i.e all european versions (incl. UK), right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoerner Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Originally posted by phil stanbridge: 68mb?? wowsers.. Now we all know, that the BTS guys are fakes only. The real maker of CM is CDV and the programmers and developers are the same who made Leisure Suit Larry 6. Although i'm happy that the CDV-patch is out already, it's like a bad joke: BTS is waiting for CDV and they release it, as soon as they can? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzig Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Anyone get the idea that the communication between CDV and the Battlefront guys is not that great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jKMkIII Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Good that I checked forum before going home But oh boy it is slow server, do I now have to still stay 43 minutes at work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseJedi Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Before anyone starts on Battlefront for all we know it could be a patch that was used to test compatability only and not the final release. 43Mb copy protection is extreme in the least. I can only think that the patch will include lots of video adverts for other CDV products (or an early beta of CM:Austerliz to Borodino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseJedi Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 We can all not d/l now and swift can never play another game against a human. With European patch this size could BTS try to get it on a few magazine CD's for the broadband challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we all will be running 1.01 soon so i don't see any problems... And now the U.S. patch is out [ November 21, 2002, 01:45 PM: Message edited by: Swift ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 The patch has been released. Unless you have a CDV version of the game DONT install the CDV version of the patch. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseJedi Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 MatMatt - is there a reason the two versions are so different in size? edit: Stpid question really, answer is yes. So, what is the reason for the size difference please? [ November 21, 2002, 01:53 PM: Message edited by: ScouseJedi ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Originally posted by ScouseJedi: MatMatt - is there a reason the two versions are so different in size?Yes, the CDV patch has a quite a few textures that we managed to include at the last minute in the Battlefront CD version 1.0 originally.

Huh ? You mean didn't manage to in the Battlecom version ? So is the US version going to be replaced by a larger US version with the new textures ? Why put up and old version then - I'm sure folks would rather wait a couple of days than download twice ? Or will there be a seperate textures pack ?

It has automatic reconnecting to your ISP, will do scheduling, resumes, all sorts of features. I've been using it for years and find it very reliable.
