Re: Revert to 1.4

Considering the IQ of the majority of our playerbase, I highly doubt we would have an increased playerbase if we decided to go to patch 1.4

Re: Revert to 1.4

As far as I would love the idea I'd still say no because of the reasons said already.

Re: Revert to 1.4

The WaR('@')'s are almost entirely a 2142 Clan (we started that way) and we just branched into the FS Mod.

The problem with reverting back to 1.40 is that you are asking EVERYONE (2142 & FS) to Uninstall their game, re-install, download patches, install patches, reset their settings, listen to the annoying "help" tutorials and use up more hard drive space by having to maintain separate install directories.

Seems more of a problem and you may lose interested parties to your AWESOME MOD!

Mind you that I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about modding but I think that maybe the best thing to do is to try to find a way to fix the probs.

My 2 cents anyways.

Re: Revert to 1.4

theres a way to make the current revision level work in the next FS patch , but ... Im not saying I know what it is ... Im saying theres something that can be tweaked and added to the 1.3 or whatever is released , that would fix the 1.5 bug.
A tall order for people working for free and out of love for the game basicly.
Something good might happen , and something will get identified and addressed and fixed with 1.5

Re: Revert to 1.4

Yeah, I'm of the opinion of biding time. I think we can all agree that our interest in this modification and what it seeks to inject into gaming is strong, even if we don't play the mod on a regular basis. But forcing people to do some fairly time-consuming things may alienate some fringe playerbase to the point of losing them permanently. And the word of mouth from players we lose won't help us at all.

Let's wait for a patch, either on the BF2142 side (there's strong evidence that there will be another patch, including more community content), or with First Strike finding a solution to the problem and releasing a fix for the mod. More people will play when a new version is released, just a question of how many we lose before that. I think we need to keep the loss number as low as possible.

You devs aren't about to give up on us just because we've a small player base, or that the engine support isn't perfect, are you?

Re: Revert to 1.4

Basically it is a bad idea, we need to hang in there and hope that DICE sort out the problems with 1.5, and then either FS will be more stable again which it does seem to be at the moment compared to the other weekend, or we can tweak (if anything can be done at our end) FS to make it more stable with 1.5 in our next release.
