Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

Re: Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

I keep getting this error every time a new map loads up which is making it hard to play.
GAME MESSAGE
"There was an error reading from the server"

It especially makes it hard to stay in those full servers. Other than that the problem is just a nuisance.

Game is nice.

That message is from the EA/Gamespy account server...the one you have to login to in order to play online. Most of us are getting it...even in vanilla BF2. So don't worry, it's not an FH issue.

Jeez, you are right. Went to EA Forums and it's no. 1 up in the sticky. This problem is bigger than I thought. Things were better when I thought FH team was on it.

The least the FH2 team could have done was fix the Flag capping bug in co-op.

'If anyone is interested the COOP flag capture bug is in the python.
I prefer COOP to singleplayer more control of teams spawn time ect. so I fixed the issue for my own game
I went into the C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2\python\game\gamemodes\ folder
and copied out ( gpm_cq ) file renamed it as (gpm_coop ) and replaced the original gpm_coop file.
COOP works fine and there was no issue with my Conquest online play, but I have not tried any COOP online games.
just back up the original gpm_coop file so you can restore it if there is any problem.
I think it does change the ticket counts in the maps but thats easily changed in the COOP setting.'

From BF Singleplayer - this should solve your problem.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

I agree, the new maps are just stunning pieces of work and artistry! Love the new patch and some green grass is a refreshing change. No lag here, but I have gotten some considerable fps drops, just can't remember where. Anyway, great update, thanks FH team for all your hard work!

Re: Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

looks and plays wonderfully for me, truly is a work of art. too bad spawn camping tank whores are still plaguing the mod. i got my 2 hours of getting spawn killed in, that was enough for me.

Re: Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

pictures and stuff look great...nice maps. However, unless the air is fixed I'm rather reluctant to give it a shot again. Does look really nice though.

What's wrong with the air?

What's wrong with the air?

The first and last day I played it, I thought my mouse was going to catch on fire from the amount of moving it over my mouse pad to turn and I still couldn't turn it... very slow and no where near how it used to be in 1942 or FH. The cam views were limited as well which with both of those against the controls of the planes it turned into a major turn off for me.

I dunno... I played the new patch and it seems like there were plenty of pilots taking out armor and troops on the ground. I'm sure the cam views are limited to help keep the realism factor there.

lol if i wanted realism I would have taken flying lessons

Re: Forgotten Hope 2.1 Released

I am a noob flyer and I can fly well with keyboard now. This patch has made planes better by all accounts.

For me this was a stunning update. The three new maps are superb looking and very fun to play. There is far more cover around for infantry from tanks. Fighting for the hill in the center of Gazala is wicked!

Thanks FH2 team.

And from the FH2 forums:
There is currently a temporary solution to the black/white wavy ironsight bug.

You can fix this by manually replacing the BF2 shaders as follows:

1) delete shader cache, as Lightning described above
2) browse to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2"
3) rename "shaders_client.zip" to "shaders_client.zip.old"
4) browse to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\fh2"
5) COPY (not move!) "shaders_client.zip" to "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2"

You have now replaced the BF2 shaders. Run FH2 through the shortcut in the start menu or on your desktop (i.e. the official way, via fh2.exe), everything should now work properly.

If you want to play BF2 again, you will need to undo the above, that means:

1) delete "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\shaders_client.zip"
2) rename "shaders_client.zip.old" back to "shaders_client.zip"

Don't forget this, BF2 may not run properly if you don't switch the files back.

I'm not flaming you, i'm just trying to answer your questions before you swear back.

The longer spawn timer is meant to make you value your in-game life more, not running in spamming and getting killed straight away. Makes people grab cover and play a lot slower and more seriously.

PR is incredibley original, maybe for all the reasons you personaly hate, but none the less, its very different to Vanilla BF2.

FH2 still has a lot similiar to original BF2 gameplay, nothing wrong with that, it has amazing skins and models, thats for sure.

Anyway hope that answers some of your questions.
