Time to bring this thread from page 2.
Patch 1.3 Release Notes QUOTE =============================== Patch 1.3.1 =============================== New Content • Two on Two game mode is now available for ranked play. • Two new four-player maps have been added to the game: (4p) Medean Cliff Mines and (4p) Ruins of Argus. These are available for ranked and custom games. • We have added a benchmarking performance test; you can find it in the Graphics options tab. • There are eight new sync kill animations in the game. Keep your eyes open for some new carnage! New Options: • We have added a “Push to Talk” option for in-game voice chat. When enabled in the Game Options screen, tilde (~) will control chat. • We have also added a “Advanced Sub-selection” game option. When enabled sub-selection behavior will be the same as Company of Heroes, where a sub-selected squad will be the only one to receive orders. Stability • Fixed several crashes where invalid data was being written to logs. • Fixed a common multithreading crash. • Fixed some out-of-memory crashes on Vista 32. • Fixed a crash that could occur if Avitus was reinforcing when a game ended. UI Change • The previous PvP squad decorators have been replaced with decorators based on the squad role. The new decorators identify units in a way that is consistent across races.

Tunnels are also vulnerable during construction.

Post-game stats • We now show a “Player has left” message for all players when you quit out to the post game screen. Achievements • Fixed a bug with the Sweeping Advance achievement. Previously it wouldn’t be awarded if the retreating unit was the last entity in the squad. Audio Improvements • Speech events now fade out if a higher priority event triggers. • Medium sound quality preset now chooses 44100Hz instead of 22050Hz. In-Game HUD and UI • There are now two map ping buttons, Attack and Defend. (Hotkeys are F8 and F9 respectively.) • Added a Retreat All hotkey. (ALT-X) • Added a Retreat Hero hotkey. (SHIFT-X) • Fixed an issue where the camera would get locked to a position if you band-box selected and landed on a button, then pressed it without moving the mouse. • The camera no longer strafes when starting a move facing or band-box selection. • Squads that have sergeants now display the count correctly on the reinforcement UI. • Unconscious heroes no longer get selected when bandbox selecting multiple units. • Targeted abilities are now usable on multi-select portraits and on squad tabs. • Implemented a fix for starting squads not receiving hotkeys when another player loaded slowly. • Player list bars no longer fade in and out while using voice chat. • Fixed an issue where “Rear Armor Hit” kickers were triggering multiple times. • Selection circles no longer disappear on a selected unit that is performing a sync kill. • Fixed a bug where greyed-out unavailable abilities would show up when a squad was retreating. • Fixed an issue where the portrait health of a unit could display zero when the unit was still alive. • Clicking a squad tab on a unit in a Webway gate or Ravener tunnel will now correctly select that squad. • Fixed a bug where squads with a sergeant would sometimes get two decorators when exiting a webway gate. • Reinforcement UI no longer displays when a hero is selected. • Fixed an issue where a blank square would appear when a squad was reinforcing. • Opposing players no longer see random players’ race selection in the Player List panel. • Fixed a bug where helptext on purchased hero accessory wargear wasn’t visible. • Fixed an issue where a black border would sometimes appear on a garrisonable building. • Pressing space bar in a chat no longer results in two spaces entered.

Wooo~~
Update is here. Added on May 13, 2009, 9:45 amJust tried a game on the new patch. -RA could no longer instant pop out of the tunnel now.About 5 seconds construction time. -The AI is better now,but still need a lot of improvement.I still literally beat them with not much effort.Win the game with 316-0.It's very bad at building gens now.Causing me to have lack of power for some time.They use abilities much better now. -New decorators are much better and easier to read too. -The new map looks damn nice. -I love 2v2. Hopefully can try a game online tonight. This post has been edited by Cheesenium: May 13 2009, 09:47 AM |

QUOTE(Date Masamune @ May 13 2009, 04:44 PM) i finished the game......they should make more campaign , wheres CHAOS? wheres Ork?? wheres the dark eldar??? Relic have a pretty limited budget.I dont think they can put all the races into the game.Wait for expansions. Come,IG.Come to me. QUOTE(gengstapo @ May 13 2009, 04:46 PM) It still have caps.Doesnt matter anyway. You wont be able to reach full caps in a proper game. Even half of the cap is a problem.

More patch info: 1.3.2 update on the way.
QUOTE We are going to release an update to Dawn of War II to deal with a few of the more critical problems users have run into. Bugs we are targeting in this data patch: * Some users with existing saves are only getting one point to spend with each level. The second point is getting automatically allocated, we hope to fix it in a way that will return all improperly allocated points back to the player. * Orbital Bombardment damage was drastically reduced. We will be increasing the damage at the outer edges to have more of an effect on infantry caught in the well. * Tiber Outpost's lighting is very bright. We will return it to a less eye-gouging lighting scheme. We may get a few more fixes in, but we want to get this patch out quickly, and we want to keep the size small. A few people have been asking about when we will do a balance update. We are working on a major balance update, and have been for some time. We will release a balance update in our 1.4 patch, which is currently in development. Thanks to everyone for bearing with us, if you have any questions feel free to post them in this thread. Source More patches,this is good. |
