Patch v1.1 Released!

[GrossKopf]

I already overwrote the 1.1 patch file with the old one and it still won't start the server. I am running xfire but I'm trying to start the server not join one.

This is CLIENT SIDE patch, not a server patch. It's even an OPTIONAL patch for clients.

[-Shifty-]

Do I need to gget it to play???

yeah but the issue at hand is they didn't tell anyone this either way, and the client file is the same as the Server file since your required to upload the whole directory. Either way I replaced the said file that I overwrote on the server with my original one on my Gaming PC and it still gave the same DirectX error. The lack of support from IW on their own forums is driving me crazy not to mention the lack of Dedicated Server files. I've removed all 6 gigs of the game from the server and I'm in the middle of uploading it all over again to try once more. If that doesn't work I don't know what to do cause the option of reloading the OS is out of the question since its about a 12hour drive to get to the server.

If they would have come out with a smaller dedicated server directory problems such as this would be different than client stuff and most would be avoided...not to mention the wasted bandwidth of uploading the whole damn thing.

All I have to say is lol... I would have to argue that IW support is 100x better then EA and not to mention IW takes there time making a game. Not every company can go by your standards man. You have to understand the game has just been released. Give it a week or two to get themselfs together. :salute:

no, the lack of server files is the shot in the pants... I can't believe they haven't released anything along those lines yet.

The files might be the same, but you are launching a server, not playing a game, so that might have been part of the problem.

This no dedicated server stuff seems to be the standard lately - MOH:A, Crysis, COD 4. I'm surprised ETQW had a dedicated server! :)

I'm re-uping the files once again all 6gigs worth.. so if it works great if not then ohh well I'll be selling the game and saying the hell with it.

I'm also dealing with the fact EA and Crytek didn't send out dedicated server files for Crysis. However, I did call them and they signed me up as a trusted server provider so not sure how that will fan over.

Update: well I finished uploading the whole 6gigs of crap to the server and yep once again the Directx error. I have no idea what to do now as this patch has screwed something up and there is no support to fix anything.

Has the patch been made available on steam? BTW when i launch multiplayer i get a message that punkbuster is not initialised. When i check the box for PB in options then restart the game i find that it hasnt been saved. Would apprechiated some help

How about a patch to remove the UAV, plane strike, and helos? Or at the very least allow ranked servers to disable them.

...I can't use xfire and COD4 anymore. DX error everytime unless I exit xfire first.

i agree, helos, and air strikes get annoying all the time, at least make it 10 streak for a strike and 15 for a heli, not this 5 or 7 kills.

Resolved, found a cool softwear which finds the latest updates for the selected game.

You'll have to play on an unranked server to get that. I removed them on my sniper only server.. :)

The Steam version should automatically update whenever a patch is released.

Newest update from 402 on the IW.com forums:

Hey Guys --

Wanted to keep you informed, that we also have a 'Lean Glitch' fix / update in the works, thanks to everyone who sent us links / videos / information on it so we could repro and jump on addressing it. Expect an update to the Patch page when it's finished and set to go out. Just giving you a heads up.

meh.. this patch caused nothing but problems for me. I'm going to have to either have my Host reload a OS for me or have it shipped back and I reload the OS in which it will cost me about 100$ for shipping costs. I'm really pissed at this game and how they required so many files in which can screw so many things up its crazy. No need to lecture me either on "it worked for me" since I know what i'm doing and the cause was the patch and IW's lack of support for its community with no Dedicated Server files. :shakehead
