The official 1.6 patch

[LionRampant]

Slap me if this has been said before.

Besides Punkbuster, the 1.6 patch will include "a fix to the game's chat lag, the addition of the Russian Ilyyushin IL-2 plane, and two maps (one for the original game and the other for the Secret Weapons expansion pack). Images from the two new maps, Liberation of Caen and Raid on Aghelia, have been reproduced below."

New game server allows hosting of different mods, maps and modes in the same server rotation

8O 8O 8O OK - everybody has to get RtR, SW and DC.

The possibilities could be endless - - a night of all Objective-based maps (Coral Sea followed by Eagle's Nest, then Weapons Bunker, Telemark, NFZ2 [when the code is optimized], etc.)

No sleep for you. :sleep:

That is teh r0X0r5

[Hsnopi]

ok so i downloaded the .6 patch (6l I think) and ran it. Instaleld fine. Runs a bit laggy on both MG and Desert Shield. These were the only two maps I played and am hoping it is just those two maps and not indicative of overall expected performance.

[Hsnopi]

LOL.....I found it quite laggy myself running 512 ddr 2700...so I crossed someone off the ole christmas list , added me and just installed another 512 and am all set now ....darn better reduce the lag which makes it impossible to attempt some maps....aarrgghh!!! now I can't use that as an excuse to be pwned :evil:

im out of it so dont flame me if soemone has already corrected you. That is NOT a true helicopter. It is a gyrocopter if im not mistaken. the germans started developing helicopter like things as early as the 30s.

I'm getting horrible lag since installing this patch. At times, it's almost unplayable. I get great pings to AK's server....so I don't know what is going on.

*in a Chucky from Rugrats voice* "Nobody knooows."

[Astro]

All these damn patches make my head explode. :?

I meant the .6 or whatever the last DC version is.

does get confusing.

[Dr.Strangelove]

Just one observation. People mentioned that this new BF patch will allow the server rotation to run different game/mod types. I don't think this is a good idea. After playing a map or two of DC, having to adjust to BF style weapons, and then BACK again, would be challenging (at least for some of us). I say leave vanilla and DC seperate.

my extremely valuable and insightful two cents.

Good point. Maybe a trial run to see if we like it or not?

all i have to say to this is:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!

hehe ;) just playing with ya ^^

i think it would be grand fun to have the server highlight the best of all 4 options in one rotation, but we dont have to do it 24/7 either.
