NoFrag

Bohemia Interactive, la boîte derrière Operation Flashpoint, vient de sortir la version bêta d'un nouveau patch (numéroté 1.94) pour son jeu phare. Des serveurs 1.94 bêta sont également disponibles pour Windows et GNU/Linux.

Les modifications de ce patch améliorent avant tout la stabilité de l'ensemble, mais on notera également des corrections en multijoueur, et quelques autres changements ici et là.La liste des changements :

• 1.94
  • Stability
    • Various crash opportunities fixed.
    • Better handling of virtual memory address space. When this space was exhausted, it could cause a crash or olive green screen.
    • AI waypoint delays and other AI degradation was possible on very fast CPU.
    • Command line option -nomap was sometimes ignored.
  • Miscellaneous
    • Fixed terrain lighting direction bug.

    • Whole partition could be deleted when DirectPlay server creation failed (this could happen when TCP component was missing or it was blocked by a firewall).

    • Faster response in various game setup screens.
    • Testing of server-client mod compatibility is now possible.
