Peter Panzer Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Will the NATO Module be accompanied by a v1.22 "patch" in the same manner that previous expansions were paired with fixes and enhancements? As a player who prefers a contemporary setting, I am hoping there might be one last round of spit shining before "M4" refers to armor instead of small arms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If I recall correctly I believe they said that NATO would be released along with a new patch, but don't quote me on that. Are there any bugs left in the game? I can't remember seeing any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Panzer Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply Phil. Perhaps a Beta Tester or BFC guy can confirm your recollection. As for remaining fixes, CMSF really solidified for me after v1.21 and I have been having plenty of fun with the game ever since. The things I have noticed are admittedly minor such as the crewman on the M707 (Recon Humvee) not orienting himself when a cover arc is set or the omission of a unique unit portrait for Syrian armor crews (I believe they are assigned the Mech Infantry portrait). I also seem to recall an issue discussed after the UK Module where Syrian machine gun teams could not properly resupply from their IFV's/APc's. Of course, if your memory is correct and BFC did mention v1.22 was planned, I guess they noticed some bits and pieces for the next go 'round too. More to the point, BFC also has a welcome habit of slipping in occasional AI adjustments, such as the ability for infantry to briefly pause and return fire when executing a movement command (introduced with the USMC Module?). I suppose with all of the effort directed toward the NATO Module and the Normandy game I was hoping a surprise or two along these lines might find its way into a potential v1.22 update. In any event, I know folks are not permitted to divulge details prior to any release - I was just curious if the established pattern would remain and the "Modern Theater Guys" would get one last belly rub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If the USMC module was v1.10 and the British Forces module was v1.20, won't the NATO module be v1.30? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan8325 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Another bug mentioned in the thread linked below is the lack of damage to surrounding troops by exploding vehicles. It also seems that secondary explosions from cooking off ammo do not cause casualties or suppression anymore, except for the troops still on or in the vehicle cooking off. In any case, a JDAM direct hit on a vehicle should demolish everything around, people included. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=92072&highlight=jdam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems that secondary explosions from cooking off ammo do not cause casualties or suppression anymore, except for the troops still on or in the vehicle cooking off. I've seen that particular behavior with destroyed BMP-3s. The things are spewing explosives everywhere, yet troops that are 20 meters or less away from them just sit there unharmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Although I can't officially confirm it, but I do definitely recall Moon or Steve saying there will certainly be a patch with NATO. Whether you buy NATO or not, all CMSF customers get the update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 One of the major new features to come with the update will be an in-game web browser. The other new thing is an "Undress" command that makes your soldiers strip off most of their clothes 300 style. Remember, you heard it from me first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 There will be a general patch for Shock Force, yes. There are a number of issues cleaned up for all players, but the focus of it is on supporting NATO specific features. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Fantastic news, thanks very much. I'm coming to the end of my USMC campaign, and hopefully have faired better than before. Then it's on to another British campaign, then hopefully, NATO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmil Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Just wondering if the next CMSF patch will resolve the map-wide flashing that occurs on post 186.xx nvidia drivers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmil Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Highly doubt it, i think it's a Nvidia problem not a BF problem If it affects the new addon & upcoming games, it's going to present problems for anyone using nvidia & current drivers. Someone needs to be leaned on.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 But it's Nvidia who have broke their drivers with the implementation of the openGL, if BF were to tweak the openGL protocols then it'd probably break it for people with ATI cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case 'we' need to lean on nVidia. Only question is how best to do that - a petition online? Tactical nuke? I'm open to suggestions... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
