gribble · Post by **gribble** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 2:49 am

this is an unofficial forum post, but some "ranked server admins" confirmed the information on the linux server mailinglist

The new Linux server and Windows servers will also be available. The Client patch weighs in at just over 13 Megs. While the server files are complete re-installs. The server software is the major part of this release. Netcode is a big piece of this for the Ranked and UnRanked Servers.

Patch v1.01

* Fixed in issue that caused the Multiplayer Browser to become unresponsive.

* Fixed an issue where some game controls were not available to be rebound within the Options menu.

* Fixed an issue with increasing performance degradation on servers.

* Fixed a problem with shader caching on client/host : after the first map in a rotation, shaders would be loaded on the fly during gameplay.

* Fixed a crash with rebinding LMB

* Fixed a problem that caused environment mapping to not appear on reflective surfaces.

* Fixed a crash that happened when a client picks up a kit that doesn't
exist anymore.

* Fixed a problem with AI when the game was paused for a long time: bots
would become unresponsive and also shoot more accurately.

* LOD distances tweaked on certain objects.

The new unranked server files are allready downloadable:

Hallelujah!!!

The 1.0.1 client patch is available for download!!!!

Get it at Fileplanet.com

There are probably other places to get it if you don't have a FilePlanet account, but I don't know where they are. If anybody else has mirrors for the patch, post 'em here.

Now...time for me to download it and see if it fixes anything

Hrm...first reports not so good. I just tried to join a server after installing the 1.0.1 patch, and my computer froze at the "Joining Server" screen. Hard drive activity light solid for more than 15 minutes...had to do a hard reset.

I guess I'll give it a rest until later this evening when (hopefully) more people have installed the updated server.

Thank god, server browser is now almost usable! However I just got kicked after 30mins of playing "Punkbuster: Empty Win32 Module" - great!

"Patching failed"

Great, but at least I'm not the only one this is happening to. I just hope that EA releases a fix before Saturday...

wow only took me 3 times of reinstalling the game for the patch to work...Great Job EA.

So after restarting twice, where did you get the motivation to try #3?

Doesn't so so good so far. If it looks better bye the weekend, then I'll install it.
