Author Topic: NEW PATCH! Tell us your thoughts (Read 1724 times)

Will I thought I start a thread on the new patches that just came out. (Version 2.08 Patch 1) Just post on what you like and what you thought was dumb, or didn't like.

Liked: The new flak explosions and tank round explosion hitting the ground.

Hated: Having to redo all my botton commands. Took awhile to get them all right, but still need to do some fixing.

What I think needs improvement. I love the new tank explosions hitting the dirt, but do you think maybe you could make the dust a little bigger, with like dirt particles falling from the sky. You know how in a war movie when a building or the ground is hit by a shell it sends tons of dirt in the air, then the next thing u see is sand like dirt falling from the sky making a rainy kinda throwing sand sound. I like to see the explosion look like that, some time in the future. Or just make the explosion a bit bigger.

But other than that it looks great.

Redoing the whole joystick thing was a real pain. However, once it was done, I liked the screen text telling me which mode I am in. I have wanted that for quite awhile.

Framerates are still great, at least for me. Other than that, it's a good advancement. They really did need to have an extensive help file ready for the joystick business though. Not having one was pretty poor.

Final verdict?: good patch, poorly done.

from my view of it, all seems pretty good, would like a toggle switch to turn off the little popups over the buttons, is a tad annoying.....

Framerates are the exact same as they were in 2.07 version

we may have only had a week or so of beta testing this, but after 6/01/06 release of 2.08 patch1, HTC(Skuzzy) posted an updated controller setup file/page on the help index page. most people did not even bother top review or check to see if it had been updated though, most just complained without venturing a link or 2 to see if anything was updated.........it was posted on 6/02/06.........yet most people with problems are still saying they can't get their controllers to work, Hammer also posted an updated controller setup file on his netaces site, but the link is in the Help & Training forum, not accessable through netaces website itself......

the people who did a complete fresh install of 2.08 patch1 verses just updating the patch to patch 1 ( the small update ) seem to have faired far better than those who just did the auto update from 2.08 to 2.08 patch 1 ( my personal opinion from all the threads I have read )

Dislike.......1-No more voice box in tower/hangar
2-Clipboard open to the right side of screen

Like: the enormous volume of whines generated, streamlined UI, new flak/tank rounds, no more buffs gunning from the runway.

Dislike: Faux wood grain, clipboard refusing to remember size or placement, pop up tags on everything, lack of ability to customize loadouts or select gun positions on the CVs.

Want: toggle for pop ups, clipboard to remember where and how big it is.
Also, the ability to set people on fire whenever the words "collision" and "model" are used in the same sentence.

I've observed no change in the appearance of the game, nor in how fast it runs. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this patch an A-.

I think 2.08 patch 1 has a good beat, and you can dance to it. I like it.

Overall not bad.

Bit of a pain setting up mapping of some things but not a real big deal

Likes: GV explosions

Dislikes: clipboard refusing to remember size or placement, pop up tags on everything, lack of ability to customize loadouts or select gun positions on the CVs. (same as Hub)

Want: GV icons only seen by friendlies. I think if an nme gv can't see your icon, niether should an nme plane. Why have trees in the game if a GV can't hide from a plane. You fly by and get the Huge Icon below screaming at you....Down here in the trees...come bomb me. Ofcourse i don't do GV's much but still think it would be better that way. I know the LTARS would like it....LOL

hub as for your 1 -10 rating then giving it an A- doesn't make sense, shouldn't you have said like 8.5 or something...LOL
had to razz ya about that

1st is was a Dead joystick, driver conflict I read. Loaded and re-loaded a poop load for an hour or so before reading it was an admitted mistake. Neat side effect, driver / usb fubar caused FPS to 1, mouse to do the jig.

Patch 1 revives joystick, somewhat, force feedback all screwey, still to this day, had to re-map every-fluff'n-thing.

Waiting for the feedback fix that HT says 'maybe' is still an issue...

Dislike: ever notice when you are on a CV in one of the guns and you go to tower and then back to hangar to switch which gun your in, the ships get tiny and misplaced in the hangar? They are so small it's hard to tell which gun position your selecting, and the cruiser is way over on right (behind clipboard) leaning up against the wall!
