Re: Patch 1.03 Live!

[Delphi-PG]

Hi guys!

 

We just wanted to let everyone know that patch 1.03 is live and ready for download. Too download patch 1.03, simply auto-update by signing into the multiplayer “Internet” component of Empire at War. As soon as we have FTP links for manual download, we’ll let everyone know.

 

Have Fun and Cya online!

I just installed this.  But there is one thing...I checked my mastertextfile that had been edited by the update, and I discovered that all the missing stuff was there....hmmmm....Anyway, W00T PATCH!

[Neba1G]

Unfortunately the bug that allows ships to cloak, seems to be even worse now. I see it regularly in multiplayer.

[plokoon9619]

I crash every time i try to host a server!

[swgbex]

U know whats funny ive connected  to one game .. it worked then i was in delphis game and.. that one didnt work at all :/ hmm maybe delphis causin our trouble

[Bill]

I"m downloading it as I type this out. Why do I need this patch, I don't play multi-player games. This is a waste to me.

[marine436]

why not play mp? seems like a waste to me if you got internet to not play mp

[malric]

MP in almost every game is for rushing teens nowadays..no place for older i play to play the game for fun, they play to rush and end it as quickly as possible wich is fun for them, but not for me...if there was some norush server i may find a free afternoon after work Seriously last time i played something MP intensively was Starcraft and back then i was a lot younger

Delphi-PG pls. start the preparations for the 1.04 patch free beta testing system before release! This way we will avoid many bugs that get worse or are left behind.

Ok I have a wierd problem!  I installed patch 1.3 from fileshack and did a direct download when the game asks me to.  Anyway I cannot play now! It tells me to insert the real CD not a backup (%CODE%) and gives me a link to SecuROM.  I have a retail version of the game wtf is this crap? Pardon my french but i'm poed!

[Spiralarchitech]

On patch, multiplayer greatly improved for me seems more stable and less laggy also the lobbys seemed to have gone a bit more quieter now that you can ignore people, the test connection works well.

 

Lands battles don't seem to lag as much as they once did.

 

Ohh and have played online 8 times now and not had that exception error once.

 

just a question i see it has cpu and fps?

 

How is the fps scored is it based on the cpu? as someone could have a fast processor and an intel graphics chip or a decent processor and an ati 1800xt graphics card.

No problems at all. I playeda a game with Ben online on the Correlia map and we had a blast. Took our time crushing the Rebels and securing the area  We came across 10 pathetic spammers and blocked them all. Its great  ;D Now I dont have to listen to the people who think the Americans won every single war crap AND seeing them flood the room  ;D This patch also helped with the connection stability since we only experienced 3 lag spikes and usually there are 2 then a boot from the game. Gonna play space once my Guild War Fever breaks.

I'm curious, did the 1.03 patch solve any of the issues with the Battlecam? Specifically in ground battles, where it zooms in on individual units too closely, rather than occasionally zooming out for better shots of the overall action?

[Isamu66]

Ever since 1.03 came out, I've been having serious lag issues that I did not have before pre-patch.  The screen is extremely choppy and becomes nearly unplayable.

 

Prior to 1.03, my only issue was connection.  That seems to have been fixed with the patch.

 

My video card is NVdia 6800 and I am on DSL.  My roommate, who is MCSE and a network guy, assures me that our internet connection is fast.

 

I have tried lowering my video settings but the issue remains. 

 

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?  What happened with 1.03 that is causing me to have huge lag issues?

 

Thanks,

 

Charles

reinstall the game and  patch it fresh

[DragonShadow]

GAH!!! Now I have to sync up my modded files with the new base files...*sob*

 

And I'll have to sync up again when the 1.04 patch comes out...*louder sob*

 

Oh well, it still beats homework...

hey cain, ive got a dozen or so suggestions for the same item in the next patch... ...stronger MUCH stronger mines so that games will actually be able to last past the first two tech levels.... and so people will actually have to use... whats that called...? "strategy"?

[Selak]

I installed the 1.03 patch and I can no longer get into the game.

 

I do not get a secure rom or emulator error.

 

Shortly after the first screen comes up (the one that says "Star Wars: Empires at War") prior to the Lucas Arts animation and the Petroglyph animation, the game throws some exception in inself.  The Exception error window says look at _error.txt and _exception.txt or something like that to see the problem, but only one of those two files exists.

 

I have removed the game and tried on a fresh install and i get the same error.  I have patched both through the game and by manually downloading the 1.3 patch with no difference.

 

Version 1.2 of the game runs fine for me but as i said with 1.3 I can not even get to the first game menu.

 

Anyone have any Ideas?  I can post my set-up later when I get home.  I do know that the computer should be more than able to play the game (it does run fine patched to version 1.2).
