Call of Duty 4 Patch Released (PC)

fitbabits · 02-01-2008, 03:22 PM

I just now got word from Infinity Ward that a new patch has been released for the simply tremendous Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This brings it up to version 1.5 and includes the following fixes:

Quote:

CHANGES:

* Fixed server browser not showing all of the servers
* The "hold [ ] to steady" sniper scope hint will only appear if you can use it
* Fixed game not recognizing IWDs existing if they are all in fs_basepath and none are in the main/ folder
* Made mod scripts able to change stats
* Allow developer_script for mulitiplayer modding
* Fixed map rotation errors with usermaps
* Fix for reloading several times after connecting to a modded server
* Fixed minimap not showing up in the menu for usermaps
* Fixed an issue with Http redirect downloads.
* Mod tools will now work with other languages

NOTE: patch 1.5 is not compatible with 1.4. You will not be able to find 1.4 servers if you update.

NOTE: Please ensure you have previously downloaded 1.4 patch before downloading 1.5 as you will need the 'Winter Crash' map from 1.4.

Maybe I'm being needlessly stupid, but don't the notes in the italicized portion of the above contradict themselves?

I think they mean that 1.5 players can't connect to 1.4 servers. You of course would need 1.4 before you upgrade to 1.5 though.

It says two different things... say I just bought the game. One note says that I need to download and install 1.4 before I download and install 1.5.

The other note is for people ALREADY using 1.4... warning them that if they update, they will no longer be able to find/join servers set up on 1.4.

Now it's time for the 360 one...right?

Varsity · 02-01-2008, 03:35 PM

You need 1.4 for its content.

Disgustipated · 02-01-2008, 03:45 PM

WOW OK YEAH THE FIFTH PATCH FOR PC PLAYERS YET THE 360 USERS GET THE SHAFT?

Capslock.

FUCK YOU INFINITY WARD/PHILIP KOLLAR

People who don't upgrade to 1.5 can't play with 1.5 players.

Players who upgrade to 1.5 cannot play with people who don't upgrade from 1.4.

Sweet. Steam auto updates the game, so I don't have to worry about downloading it.
I wish steam became the standard for friends and online playing. If you set it up to run your non-steam games, you will be able to access the community tab (shift+tab) just like you do with the 360's dashboard.
I wonder if xfire does that... I need to check that out.

Disgustipated · 02-01-2008, 04:10 PM

Yes, Xfire lets you do that shit in-game.

They're also having a mapping contest. Pretty good support for a doomed platform.

Jesus, it's about time. I'll have to hop on and see how well this is working. It was rare for me to find servers below 100 ping before, they seemed to play just fine but it was a little odd. When a local server did manage to pop up it was pinging as it should (<50ms) so I don't think it was my connection.

Thin_J · 02-01-2008, 05:16 PM

Jesus. I started reading the thread title, got excited, and then immediately any excitement was deflated by the little (PC) note.

Fix your goddamn console version already. We've only been waiting for three freakin months.

I play the PC version too.. but it's already fixed for the most part, and most of my friends play on the 360.

This is great! I bought this through Steam so as soon as I fired it up the patch auto-updated me to 1.5. Awesome!

So I jump right into the server browser to get my game on... only to find that all 13 of the servers in my 'Favorites' list are still on 1.4.

Protip to Infinity Ward: Release your fucking patches on Monday from now on. Jerks.

Deadend · 02-01-2008, 06:17 PM

How about the patch for the 360 version?

Frogleg Special · 02-01-2008, 06:42 PM

Haha, awesome. More power to PC as platform.

ResistanceAddict · 02-01-2008, 07:10 PM

Jeez. The 360 version really needs a patch. Lag is terrible and using a Sniper Rifle is almost pointless.

Beelzebud · 02-01-2008, 09:42 PM

Lag seems terrible in every Xbox Live game. It's the p2p networking. No patch will fix it. For consistent low ping games, you need dedicated servers.

Krom · 02-01-2008, 10:06 PM

360 version needs a map pack really bad

You're wrong. The 360 version does NOT lag unless you have a shitty router/connection. It rarely lags for me, and I know other people rarely have trouble too.

So yeah, you're wrong. Don't be a PC elitist prick.
