Hello PC fans,

I am happy to say that we have entered Phase 5 of our PC Patching Process, and are preparing the patch for worldwide distribution!

As such, I wanted to shed some light on precisely what Patch 1.2 has fixed. But first, I’d like to introduce a NEW MAP we’ve included in this patch – Makin Day.

      Items addressed in 1.2:

    *
      Free Multiplayer Map! The tide is out and the sun is high – this daytime version of Makin sheds new light on the battle!
    *
      Fixed exploits that allowed for power ranking servers.
    *
      Fixed router related server authentication errors.
    *
      Fixed HTTP Redirect functionality for downloading mods
    *
      Fixed sound device crashes stemming from Emulated Sound Devices
    *
      Fixed exploit which allowed players to color their name tag.
    *
      Hits now register properly while targeted player is leaning.
    *
      Enabled /cg_drawfps in multiplayer games.
    *
      Fixed command-line +connect functionality
    *
      /cg_fov no longer resets to the default value in between matches.
    *
      Dedicated servers automatically reconnect to the Master Server in case the Master Server resets.
    *
      "Accept Game Invite" is bound to its default key, F10.
    *
      Implemented fix for attempting to join password protected servers from the server browser.
    *
      Fine tuned Bolt-Action Rifles for balance.
    *
      Screenshots no longer overwrite each other.
    *
      Fixed various multiplayer map related issues and exploits.


We are aware that /record is not on this list, but are happy to say we’ve already begun working on a Patch 1.3 which will address /record. More details on that patch will emerge after the 1.2 release.

So get ready to get your frag on – Patch 1.2 is releasing TOMORROW, Feb. 6th 2009! Mirrors should start being made available in the morning, PST.

Regards,
