wooooo!

[maddogx 13]

Netcode improvements, AI driving improvements and handgun animation improvements... awesome! :D

Does the latter mean that the dreaded AI handgun stance-lock bug has been fixed?

Can't it be implemented to the core of the game so that any different version of the game than the server's version cannot connect to the server? I thought it has already been done.

Where do I need to look to see the changes?

It is.

This one is to force betas I assume.

I don't see these in the changelog:

Improved: tracked and wheeled vehicles steering and braking AI ability.

Improved: animations with hang gun and gear animations.

Were they deleted?

[maddogx 13]

As always, not every fix is listed in the changelog. No idea why; that's just the way it is.

It seems still broken, dta\bin.pbo and languagecore.pbo signature mismatch on v2 enabled servers.

Bugs introduced by intermediate beta versions and solved in later beta versions are not included in the changelog.

Still, they should mention them seperately :P (Yet the community can assist with some of them too at least from CIT tickets)

They started a clean new changelog it seems.

The new setting allows you to control buildnumbers, while normal the server is version locked (1.58, 1.59 etc).

The betas keep increasing buildnumbers but not version number, until the final patch or a big change was introduced which really needs to bump the version number.

[metalcraze 290]

Also choppy falling objects animations were fixed

[Electricleash 133]

Improved: animations with hang gun and gear animations.

Wo there was me thinking we would never see this fixed.

Unable to check this right now, but nice one guys!

[carlostex 38]

Very nice beta. Keep on fixin' BIS.

[themaster303 22]

did anyone also get that jerky movement as gunner when you are with a teammate in the same vehicle.

also checkt in the backseats. really jerky view.

greetz

[pauliesss 2]

Thanks again and again BIS! :bounce3:

Seems the handgun stuck problem is gone, I tested with my mission that could reproduce the problem with 99 % certainty, and it never happened now after several tries. The machinegunner still prefers the pistol over his MG36, but that seems to be a faulty range for the G17, as has been mentioned here before.

Thanks for the fix, that was really an annoying bug that cost many a good soldier a bullet to the leg ;)

[nkenny 1057]

Does the latter mean that the dreaded AI handgun stance-lock bug has been fixed?

While KSK soldiers still prefer the Glock17 to their main weapon, I've yet to see a soldier irrevocably locked in place with this beta.

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Can you add a button in options,"Fix personal bugs" :D

It would be awesome.

Excellent release,gonna test (i had lags using 290)

[themaster303 22]

thats really funny, with this beta, you look at your teammate, he walks/runs around, you switch (alt-tab) to desktop and back ingame. and you see:

:D

Yeah, I had those as well, and without switching to the desktop.

I also noted that animation of players from other clients are slower than normal. You can even see their own footprints overtake them.

I just saw this too and it affected Players and server controlled A.I. as well in MP. Looks like this build is not good on 1.59 servers. We need 1.60 as a new base.

no, we where on a dedicatedserver (beta) running on my system. so server and all games where the sane beta.

@burns:

[On_Sabbatical 11]
