Devilchaser 0 Posted December 22, 2001 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.

Damage Inc 0 Posted December 22, 2001 I agree, though I think BIS should have added some new vehicles or weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted December 22, 2001 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.

Damage Inc 0 Posted December 22, 2001 We've had a playable OFP before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 0 Posted December 22, 2001 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. RED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 22, 2001 I think 1.20 was the first OFP version that was bugfree enough to enjoy the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Op 0 Posted December 22, 2001 i didnt really notice any gameplay affecting bugs in 1.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 22, 2001 I think there was and there were even more in 1.10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr ThunderMakeR 0 Posted December 22, 2001 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceAlex 0 Posted December 22, 2001 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antichrist 0 Posted December 22, 2001 OFP 1.0 was perfectly solid so why bother fixing something that is not broken they should've added new vehicles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CADman-GUN- 1 Posted December 22, 2001 Great work BIS, thankyou. I was having fun with the demo before 1.0, very playable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted December 22, 2001 The demo was cool, especially after using a hack to get a tank or chopper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted December 22, 2001 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.
