MP Demo Patch für BF1942

Kaum eine Demo sorgt für so viel Aufsehen wie die von Battlefield 1942. Obwohl es sich wirklich nur um eine Demo mit einem Multiplayer-Level handelt, zocken diese nach aktuellen Statistiken von Gamespy bereits mehr Gamer als Q3: Arena und RTCW zusammen!

Um den Spielspaß zu perfektionieren gibt's nun einen Patch im Internet, der die Demo auf die Version 1.1 aktualisiert.
Den knapp 13 MB großen Download findet ihr auf der BF1942-Fanseite PlanetBF1942.de.

Hier die Feature-Liste:
Server Fixes

Improved server stability.

Fixed bug that caused server to say it was full when it wasn't.

Servers started from in-game now use settings from dedicated server tool if those settings are not in the in-game Create Game front-end.

LAN servers no longer report to Gamespy master server.

Limiting the bandwidth now works from the dedicated

Client Fixes

All Seeing Eye server browser support added.

Fixed refresh rate locked to 60 hz in Win2k and XP machines. We're working on getting this fix for Win98 and ME machines, but we're waiting for dev support from Microsoft before we can proceed. To enable this on Win2k and XP machines do the following:
-Open the videodefault.con file found in SettingsVideoDefault.con
-Edit the line: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates # (where # can be replaced by 0 or 1)
-Changing this value to one will allow you to select the refresh rates from the Options>Video section of the in-game frontend. NOTE: the game will default to 640x480.

Fixed bug that caused ammo-boxes and health-cabinets to not work occasionally.

Considerably faster internent in-game browser.

Added icon in the in-game browser for dedicated servers

Added icon in the in-game browser for password protected servers.

Added icon in the in-game browser showing server CPU status, if it's doing well or if it's bogged down by too many players for it's capacity (this is dependant upon the CPU not the bandwidth).

Added server CPU info in the in-game browser under the server info>rules tab.

Chat text in-game has it's own color so it's easier to see.

Server version number will show correctly in server info> rules tab

Fixed some instances of the internet browser crashing when pressing yes to update to newer version on a 98 machine.

Fixed player ability to sink Jeeps and Kubelwagens into the ground.

Fixed free spectator camera does not turn off, even when unchecked in the server.
