[histeria6363 26]

I ask, then it is worse than the previous patch final vesion and also stop working on the project ??

 

It is not possible , do not understand , what a serious disappointment, my incognita that is a mistake and is not the final version , which will have been wrong .

[rowdied 44]

Gunter got the wrong files and did not get the proper patch.

 

He does have it now and will test it further.

 

I have to say, it looks like BIS latest patch 1.54 fixes the tanks form auto repairing themselves when hit and not destroyed. I will do further tests to see, but it looks like we have a patch that can make IFA3 functional again!

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

Update

1st posted updated!

• added links for download
• updated installation
• added known bugs list

Notes:

After applying all the patches in order as seen listed in the installation, you should have the following versions

seen at the bottom right side of the main menu of the game:

 

• Iron Front A3 version: 1.11
• Iron Front DLC version: 1.09

[histeria6363 26]

Gunter, steam the second link does not work

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

Updated.

It just links to IF Fan forums release thread, its same as this thread for patch release.

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

Anyone have any issues they want to report?

Looks like my partner Scar will look to fix those after he fixes the bugs i listed on the 1st post.

 

I will compile the issues reported in a list here, here is what we have so far from your guys reports:

IFA3 patch 1.14 Bug list

• a lot of sounds are far too quiet, especially in first person (e.g. all aircraft cannons are barely audible)
• muzzle flash on stuka guns still not fixed

• The "Pz Kpfw IV Ausf.H" tank has misplaced textures.

• Fw 190 is bugged - it's impossible to take off

• All Opel trucks have Bugged textures.

• Only ambulance, repair and refuel

• m3 halftruck the machinegunner do not eject when he dies, only in m3 halftruck , in m3 scout works fine.
• tanks are to loud

[chortles 263]

Should I be of the understanding that none of this applies to IFA3 Lite, or...?

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

No this is for the full version, if those that are running the lite version want to try to patch it on their end, then try it, but all patches and any fixes for the full IFA3 version should, I

would assume also work for the lite version as lite version from what I understand is low res textures and setup not to require IF in order to convert.

IFA3 Patch Update

Got word from Scar a few min ago, he is very busy with his studies and stuff with this time of year but he said he will get to the fixes, and should be a day or two before they are done,

thats specifically the sound issues, but at same time I sent him a link to my other post here with the list of issues you guys reported.

 

One thing I discovered through my testing and i been testing on and off today with my mods, and with IFA3 is that that satchels for IFA3 dont work, the mines,tripwires, and charges do,

also the sapper tools if in the binocular spot the mines,tripwires, and charges wont work as you cannot place them, however if you move the sapper tools to your inventory they will work,

also note the satchels dont work either way, so im adding that to the list.

 

updates list:

 

IFA3 patch 1.14 Bug list

• a lot of sounds are far too quiet, especially in first person (e.g. all aircraft cannons are barely audible)
• muzzle flash on stuka guns still not fixed

[Hate 232]

So I was following the instructions on this page to the letter:

 

https://dev.withsix.com/projects/lib-issue-tracker/wiki/IFA3_manual_install

 

It all went smoothly until I got to the two DLC patches. I recieved several errors, mostly relating to LIB_something to do with US characters not having weapons.pbo or something to that effect. "addon LIB_US_characters requires LIB_US_weapons pops up during game launch. The launch itself is smooth and quick, and in the home screen it says:

 

• Iron Front A3 version: 1.10
• Iron Front DLC version: 1.09
• Iron Front version: 1.14

How can I get my A3 version to 1.11?

 

Bugs I've seen for this include on the Omaha map. There are Polish place-names in random places (like in the Channel) and no buildings. No towns, houses, or bunkers.

 

When I spawned a Red Army mechinized infantry group, it spawned with a German half-track/crew instead of Red Army's equivalents.

 

I was unable to spawn a Polish Home Army squad, but could spawn them individually.

 

And finally (But not lastly, I'm sure) I can't spawn any US units. I presume this is related to my errors during installation of the DLC patches. I apologize if I'm being a noob but I just got this semi-working after like two years of being to lazy to try. It looks fantastic right now and I want to play it (will play it, really). I just want to know what I did wrong here. Help!

[Hate 232]

MY GOOD SIRS

 

I see where I may have gone wrong. Installing the latest update fix.

[Hate 232]

So the update fix has solved the problems it was supposed to, but I'm still having DLC bugs with Omaha having no buildings and US units being absent from the game.

[Hate 232]

Update: I found individual US soldiers under INDEP, but weapon textures are buggy/white and they lack ammo.

[interectic 8]

On the first mission for the German Campaign the Russian plane crashes before it even gets to its way point so you cant move on. 

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

interectic, the campaign issue is not because of the 1.14 patch because as per the changelog, the patch does nothing to the missions or campaigns,

that issue your reporting has been in IFA3 for a while, only way to fix it is if someone edits the campaign and actually fixes it.

 

@Hate send me a pm I have a fix for you, as your issue with the dlc is because the conversion tool hasn't fully converted the dlc.

[Moon_chilD 200]

I don't know if I'm supposed to ask that here or in the other thread (just tell me :3) 

I have not really a bug report, but something missing (no sound related things for once  ;) )
When inside the Sherman MG gunner (in 1st Person) you can't see where you are aiming. When going into 3rd Person you get a cross hair. So..a cross hair in the interior view of the Sherman would be nice (I know for the sake of immersion but if you'd use this thing in real life you would somehow know in which approximate direction you are aiming atm ^^)

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

Thats specific to IF feature, so heres a question overall, and tbh i forget myself but does the hull gunner for the Sherman have crosshair in vanilla IF itself?

if not then the feature/function was never created or added to the game for that tank position.

[foffy 58]

Is this available on PwS as Iron Front Standalone, or is this a separate setup?

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

This is not on PWS, and download is just rar.

[giallustio 770]

Any possible fix for the mg42 and thommy sounds?

[Gunter Severloh 4063]

Only way to fix them right now is to either use my IFA3WarMod---> https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/184291-ifa3warmod-release/

which adds and fixes alot of things, including those weapons, or just use Santa Six's sound mod--->  http://www.missionrepository.com/sound-mods-2-2(top mod) go to release thread for more info on it.

Other then that I have no one to fix anything in the list, no one has any time to do anything,

[giallustio 770]

Thank you very much!

[giallustio 770]

I made few cfg fixes, for the weight mainly.
