April 27, 2011(!!!) - Beta Patch #2 - It's old thread

[timholt]

I have been hanging off applying any beta patches to the game but it looks as though the actual patch is now going to be some time away.
Can I just apply the latest patch or does the previous one need to be installed first.
If I apply it and it is worse than what I have now, how do I uninstall it, by updating files through steam, is that all that is required?

best to perform a File Verification through Steam (restting the sim to "current official version"/ or "roll back"), defrag game cache through Steam as well, and apply the beta patch to that... try not to do a Beta over a Beta

Open the Steam user panel and look at the game in the Library, right click it and select Properties and look at the Updates Tab. If Automatic Updates is set to "Always keep this game up to date" and if you have been using CoD through Steam then you are up to date except for the last beta patch. If it isn't selected then select it and Steam will update to the last official Steam release.

Then all you have to do is download the beta patch and unzip it to your Game Folder and you are done. I would suggest you try CoD out first after the latest Steam update before d/loading the beta patch. Some people report problems after patching and 1C have held off releasing it as a Steam update so I'm sure there are things that need tweaking. Personally, I haven't had any problems that I can relate to the patch. You may be happy with what Steam gives you and decide to hold off on the beta patch. Your choice.

Looks like Crossfire users are having problems, what about SLI?

I'm ordering a new 27" Dell U2711 LCD tomorrow, this one has a res of 2560x1440 over my current LCD's 1920 x 1080, running 1 x GTX570 SC just now and thinking I might need one more in SLI to help at this resolution (+ I like comp parts because I'm a hardware geek) if no performance gain in SLI is there at least no performance loss?

I do believe SLI was meant to be in this patch.
