Wow two patches before the Linux server is out.

[rudedog]

Garrett, was on this right after the 1.1 patch was released. It's awesome how quickly IW reacted and got a fix out!

[Scrapie]

i see we will get a patch for each bug:D

hopefull they are clientside

edit: i've installed it but in console i still get "1.1"... rush rush and then...

[GreyMaster]

It's strange. How server will check client version? So, now somebody will play without glitch and lean bug, and someone will continue using bugs? Looks like some beta-patches...:confused:

[rudedog]

be careful if you only uploaded the files to your server and tried to run the patch it only patches the SP exe so I'm told.

I'm in the process of getting a file list of patched files.

[rudedog]

changed file list added to first post

It's strange. How server will check client version? So, now somebody will play without glitch and learn bug, and someone will continue using bugs? Looks like some beta-patches...:confused:

No you have that backwards.

Anyone with the patch will be able to spot the guys trying to left lean and be able to kill him, the guys without the patch will not see these guys glitching nor will their hits make contact with the glitcher.

So it's recommended to patch your system so you can spot and kill glitchers.

Shouldn't sv_pure prevent someone with a different version from connecting to the server? I understand that sv_pure isn't working right now, but I believe that is one of its purposes.

[rudedog]

correct

[GreyMaster]

Thnx, Rudedog. for nfos. Well, we will find next patches imo soon. And some update for server too imo. Fixing sv_pure bug impossible to fix by client patch sure:D Now i wait for nix-bins and thnx god, we still can use 1.0 bins. And later, we will again waitnig for next version linux bins :S To many busyness, so :D

There seems to be some confusion on this patch. In the first post here it's saying that it's a client side patch only but 402 at iw.com is sort of saying that it's client and server. I honestly don't think he knows considering the use of the word "should".


From 402, "Yes, this contains the 1.1 fixes, this should be both Server and Client side.

You should not have a problem connecting with earlier versions but I'm verifying that right now."

Here is the response from IW's fourserotwo posted late this AM on their forums:

Hey guys --

Let me try to clear up some confusion, essentially the server is the only one who needs the 1.2 update as if the server you are playing on is patched, no one will be able to effectively use the Lean Glitch. That doesn't mean they can't lean, it means they can't lean and seemingly disappear visually to the other player.

Therefore, if the server is patched, and the client is un-patched, he can still play. He can also still lean, but he can't lean glitch.

The glitch was essentially a visual / hit detection one where the player would lean as normal, but to the other players he would seemingly be hidden behind the entire wall / object he is leaning behind. This fixed it so he can still lean, but now he looks as he should, leaning behind an object, not fully hidden by the object.

Keep in mind that is a very watered down way to explain it, but essentially that how it works. So it doesn't matter if a client patches or not, he still can't lean glitch on a patched server.

http://www.infinityward.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,3592.75.html

Thus, the front page is incorrect that it is a client-side only patch.

[BoSBrian]

Edited. Thanks for the correction. I guess I should have explained myself a little better in that the patch fixed issues on the clients and that it was not required to patch a server to have v1.2 clients connect.

[Scrapie]

can someone send me iw3mp.exe because patch didnt patched it?:X

[Busterking]

The patch 1.2 installer put out by Infinity Ward is not installing properly. After applying the patch, the game is still registering as version 1.1. With the help of Mike Nomad and others in the modding community we have created a proper patch installer. You can download it here:

COD4 1.2 Patch.exe (http://www.10-78.com/Upload/COD4%201.2%20Patch.exe)



Works great for servers also.

[BoSBrian]

Nice work guys!

Any chance we can get a zip version? I see alot of requests for a zipped patch for servers.

[Busterking]

We patched all our 10 servers with it, just brows where the folder is and it will install it all.

We don't have a zipped format.

[BoSBrian]

Here's what I don't get. A 13MB download from IW = 7.5MB files?????

[rudedog]

The 1.1 was the same thing, I guess the installer takes up a large chunk of space.

[Scrapie]

link broken:undecided
edit: nevermind... site is blocked to portugal :X i got it with an proxy...good work guys

[Lod]

Works great client and serverside.

Many thanks for the installer guys.
