    BF2142 Patch 1.4 - Out Now!

    It would seem patch 1.4 has finally been released today.

    Lost connection to BFB Camp G server, when trying to rejoin it told me I had an older version. Game-monitor now shows the BFB and Battleforce servers running 1.4, so it would seem today is the day.


    And after taking a while for this site to get back to normal, I've found this...


    =================
    XIII. UPDATE 1.40
    =================

    FEATURES

    - Added a new map - Highway Tampa.
    - Added an autosave to kit customisations. After you customise a kit and spawn in with that kit, the customisation will be automatically saved until you change it and spawn in again. Note that you must spawn in with a particular kit for it to be saved.
    - Titans will now spawn up to two gunships per side
    - Squad Leaders no longer have to resupply to re-equip destroyed drones

    CHANGES

    - Exploit Fix: hardcoded the time limits of Orbital and EMP strikes.
    - RDX Shotgun now detonates RDX, Motion Mines, AP Mines with minimum of 2 rounds.
    - Ported EU Assault Rifle changes to the Best Buy unlock as well.
    - Fixed LMG Left/Right Recoil
    - Revised EU Assault Rifle Recoil
    - Increased Clark rate of fire to match Herzog
    - Fixed PAC shotgun attachment recoil to match other Herzogs
    - Further adjustment to Squad Leader drones to prevent them accidentally killing the Squad Leader when deployed
    - Further fix to prevent "pod surfing". Note that some pod movement will still be possible and is an intended gameplay mechanic to allow the player to have some small choice of landing site and to access rooftops
    - Smoke from the CM3-N Radar Grenade deploys more quickly. The Radar range has been slightly increased and endures for the duration of the smoke effect.
    - The CM3-N Radar Grenade may now be resupplied.
    - The screening effectiveness of all smoke grenades has been significantly improved.
    - Adjusted Talon heat source position to improve Gunship missile balance.
    - Beta Feedback: Fixed the placement of an AA gun on Highway Tampa
    - Beta Feedback: Improved the visuals of the swimming pool on Highway Tampa

        got the update... I find it ironic that after waiting this long to get the patch I have to wait again for others to get it (no servers running it as far as I can tell).

                Problems....

                First off... Weird. Downloaded from the EA FTP site.. file size is 304MB. Everywhere else it seems to be 385MB. I run the 304MB install and it starts, then unloads, never installing the update. Same with the 385MB patch.

                Re-downloaded each again, same result. CLick install, I see the patch in task manager then it unloads.

                Tried again by downloading the 1.40 beta2 file from filefront. This one worked, but there are barely any servers... lol.

                No idea what the deal is, any advise? Anyone actually got the 1.40 installed from the final exe's?

                  Looks like filefront just put it up:

                  *edit*

                  I'm having the same trouble as you w3bexec. Maybe the file is corrupted. I'll have to try fileplanet.

                      hmmmmmmmmm

                      Looks like the original installer was broken. Updated me to v1.25 again? And the the game wouldn't load. Currently uninstalling and re-downloading the UPDATED updated patch (the 367MB one, not the 303MB one).

                      Hopefully it works.

                      Great start Dice.

                        I downloaded the one from Hypernia but even though it says I am running 1.40 when I try to connect to a server it tells me my client is running an older version. Going to try a different download, hoping the other was the wrong one.:wall:

                          We're looking into this right now, and of course the first part of that is getting the incomplete file removed from large downloads. Given that the file size was different it's likely that the upload failed, something that's beyond my control. Fixing it isn't, at least.

                          Sincere apologies for any frustration the corrupt file caused, we're currently investigating that and any other issue reports on 1.4, I will keep you all informed.

                              RETARDS, RETARDS, RETARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              FFS, *I AM RUNNING 1.25* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              I try to run 1.40 patch, but the retard installer says "You already have a newer version". Geezus, this is Flapping retarded. I prefer it when Dice actually made games that worked out of the box, like Pinball Dreams for the Commodore Amiga.
