BRAVO BIS!

I wasn't too happy with the trivial improvements in 1.30 (new vehicles / weaons excluded), but 1.40 is an excellent, solid set of fixes and improvements. Finally some of the most critical gameplay problems have been addressed. The friendly fire checks and the team sighting bug where probably the most complained about issues of the past.

THANK YOU BIS for finally addressing these issues. Now the only real complaint I have left is how the AI will continue to attack empty vehicles (including jeeps) and how the machinegunners always fire above them.

I agree, though I think BIS should have added some new vehicles or weapons.

Well, I hope they continue hunting down bugs, like jumping tanks, and glass tranparency (which affects much less objects than in 1.30 now, but is stil there.)

New weapons or vehicles would only bring new bugs, as it always was in the past.

1.40 has so much changes, it feels very different from 1.30, even in parts that were not covered by patching.

that the problem with such complex software.

A little change here, and another thing is messed up.

So every addon ist dangerous...!

At least, we have a playable OFP right now, nearly half a year after release.

We've had a playable OFP before.

Well it was playable since 1.0 but there was just a load of bugs, which let the game down but it was still enjoyable and playable.

I think 1.20 was the first OFP version that was bugfree enough to enjoy the game.

i didnt really notice any gameplay affecting bugs in 1.0

[Damage Inc 0]

I think there was and there were even more in 1.10.

I found a few joystick bugs in 1.40:

A. While the flight control with jets seem better, the throttle is messed up now. I use a slider throttle on my joystick and I cant get the jet up to full throttle in the game anymore. The fastest take off speed i can get is 150 m/h, which isnt enough to take off.

B. Helicopters are still d*amn near impossible to fly with the joystick. Using the slider for altitude control, u change altitude WAY too fast. This isnt a new bug in 1.40, but it still needs to be fixed. Its almost impossible to fly straight and level in a chopper with this bug.

C. I dont know if this is new, but its the first time Ive noticed it: you can get infinite altitude using the joystick to control the chopper. The highest I went before stopping was 2500m, but Im guessing you can go a lot higher.

Just a few bugs concerning the throttle on joysticks. The most annoying one is the jet one since I could never fly them with my keyboard and now I cant use my joystick, meaning I cant fly the jets at all now....

P.S. Just to make sure, I recalibrated my joystick several times

1.0 version was just fine for me too. Maybee i didn't notice the bugs because the game was new, but i really think that 1.0 was just fine.

V1.10 was good but i noticed some new bugs.

v1.20 was better in some way. AI in v1.0 was better. I tested everything. v1.20. AI was better just when the soldiers shot at you from far distances. As for bugs. There was also a list of the new bugs. Some of them were really annoying.

V1.30 was far better than v1.20. ASlmoust without new bugs. I noticed only two new bugs in v1.30. Very good patch.

V1.40 patch is the best. I didn't notice any new bugs and all old bugs were fixed. MP is really great. Everything is great in that patch, though. I have been playing with this patch for two days now and i'm sure i won't stop.

OFP 1.0 was perfectly solid

so why bother fixing something that is not broken

they should've added new vehicles

Will this be the last upgrade?

[CADman-GUN- 1]

Great work BIS, thankyou.

I was having fun with the demo before 1.0, very playable

[Damage Inc 0]

The demo was cool, especially after using a hack to get a tank or chopper.

[Renagade 0]

I guess the reason why you can only fly a certian height with choppers in OFP is because the view distance is capped after w while going straight up everything fogs over and goes green but its good fun for a suprise attack by navigating form the map the dropping down from the sky and letting off a few paras before zipping back up into the clouds.

[CADman-GUN- 1]

yeah ehe I ment the demo code, made a few missions for it and lost many wonderfull hours stunned by ofp glory that was then and now... bloody great, improvement after improvement.

hmm I thinks you guys (BIS) need to put up a new 1.4 code SP demo
