Halli~SPARTA~ Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Sparta will upload tonight and be ready w/1.03 tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehgler_AS Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 This looks great, but be aware that they have not released the 1.03 dedicated server executable yet. So I would strongly suggest you keep a function copy of 1.02 around until the servers you play on can be upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehgler_AS Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Were you trying to reload your already in progress campaign? If so, getting a CTD is not a surprise.... From the Patch instructions: It is not recommended to use any savegames created in versions 1.00 or 1.01, if you use a savegame from 1.02 some of the fixes may not apply to that game in progress until the beginning of a new mission. I understand people have also seen crashes when trying to load 1.02 saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 1.3 patch is causing wide scale issues with all original and modded missions at present. Big issue is some map object ID`s have been changed. So any missions at all, that call an ID will not function until reloaded and saved in the editor. Mods and addons are also causing lot of issues with server synching and crashes. Most seem to be they are not compatible any more and need some fixes. Played coop last night with no mods ar anything else, team of 6, all was perfectly fine, big improvement. But massive difference on other servers using any mods or addons, or other players joining server using addons. Constant game stutterings and so, crashed out at least 3 times over a few hours. *Edit* CBA mod update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halli~SPARTA~ Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Will the CBA Mod & it's Update help or is this as stated elsewhere that the server can only run Vanilla to stop the micro studder/desync? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
