Quick Friday Update - Next Patch Info
 

[Edit] The patch is here. Sorry, no coherent patch notes today. As usual, apply to the latest steam version.

The most important component of this beta patch is the changes to multiplayer. We're hoping you'll find the new code more exciting, and statistics more fulfilling. This is, of course, just one footstep in our continuous journey towards a well-rounded multiplayer experience.

Stuff in this patch:

1. Major changes to online code, statistics, stability, etc.

2. More performance increases, including streamlined block loading that lets you switch between planes over England and France instantaneously (then watch the landscape underneath load in).

3. Force feedback.

4. True full screen, VSync.

5. Various changes in aircraft animations, FM, etc - a huge list.

6. Lots of changes to ground object AI and DM - another huge list.

7. New IL-2 style QMB missions.

We've also been working on SLI and Crossfire support. Crossfire is probably a couple of weeks out, while SLI is most likely going to wait for the next driver release from NVidia. By the way, SLI/Crossfire hardware should no longer cause slow-downs as of the last patch, so this shouldn't be as huge a let-down as it could have been.


Known issues:
* Temporary Army icons, not yet appearing everywhere
* No localization for new content other than EN and RU
* New briefings for campaign do not re-display the mission texts
