So, is this a new patch?

Woo Elephant Yeah · Post by **Woo Elephant Yeah** » August 14th, 2006, 15:37

No, I've just had a tidy up across all the forums. 1.4 is likely to come out tomorrow, and as soon as it is, this post can be updated, and I will download/upload the full/incremental patch as soon as it's available.

Fair enough, cheers for claryifing that

Bingo!

Patch is... (possibly, maybe a fake) DELAYED.

Ack. Oh well, better late than buggy. Well, buggier than it will be anyway...

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » August 15th, 2006, 15:12

Seems it's only a small bug, should only be a 24 hour delay.

Hope so

We do not anticipate this delay being a lengthy one, however we do not have a fixed date for release at this time.

We will update you as soon as there is further information.

Apologies to those who were expecting the patch today, however in order for this patch to succeed in the way it is intended a little extra time is being taken to ensure it is right.

omfg there's actually a thread titled "omfg patch delayed"!
What does it matter? It's only a patch and it's not like it's going make much difference. The new map would be nice though and the infantry mode also.

Maybe it's because I'm probably at least twice as old as the people making those comments....

If this means driving a tank up a curb will no longer take off a bar or two of health, hurrah!

I like how you didn't bold the red nametag bug fix.

Post by **Dog Pants** » August 16th, 2006, 7:08

Increased armour of transport helicopters? Fucking hell, they'll be tougher than tanks soon!

ZOMG THIS!

Also, vehicle damage when driving and server stability. However, the proof of the beef is in the playing...

Probably because it's been in every changelog so far and is therefore redundant. Although I have to say it's getting very rare now, I don't remember seeing it myself since 1.3
