Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 That's right! Only hours after the release of the demo, ALTAR have released the 1.2 patch for the English version of the game. The patch fixes a number of issues with the game, and you can read more about it here. The patch weights about 6 MB, and as you can soon find more mirrors here. Update: The German version 1.2 patch have also been released! You can read more about it at the official German forum, or find mirrors to download from in our patch section. Update2: The Czech version 1.2 patch have also been released! You can read more about it at Tiscali Games, or find mirrors to download from in our patch section.

Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yes, they do great! The Cenega server is rather overloaded at the moment though, so it may be hard for some to get it down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutedge Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Interesting. I like that they toned down some of the alien weapons, but did they mess with the Alien Rocket Launchers at all? Personally, the damage isn't what bothers me. It's the reload speed. It's way too fast. Another thing. What does this mean? "The Squad window opens when a mission is accepted."

Pete Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 It should technically go to the squad equip screen before you dive into a mission I guess... Let's you make any last-minute adjustments I suppose I shall download the patch and get a definite answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Less than two weeks after the game was launched and there are already two patches for the English version? Didn't the developers do ANY testing? I accept that not all bugs will be picked up in the testing stages, but this looks like beta testing didn't even begin until after the game was sent to the CD manufacturer.

Centauris Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 What about paches for other versions like POlish ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 CENEGA sucks little bit with the SERVER speed ... Impossible to download for almost 25minutes now ... Do they have DIALUP SERVER or what Why not more mirrors ? But it is good we have feedback so soon - on the other hand it also shows the game was not finished in NOSTRESS conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Did you push the link where I wrote that mirrors will be Ghostrider? No? Didn't think so . As for the equipment screen, that is REALLY ANNOYING!!! ARGH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll also spot a lot of stuff in here that's user-requested and not technically bugs. Not by any means perfect, but a darned sight quicker than other companies would be addressing these types of problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowBlade Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 "A newly captured base in Biomass is set to Anti-biomass by default if that technology is available." Does this mean that a base you capture in Biomass won't be overrun as soon as you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasarstrider Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 The alien and human laser weapon changes are good. I found human laser weapons useless. I manufactured a couple of them just to check the stats, then decided not to make any because they are pointless. Low dmg and rps. Most Reticulans later on are impervious to them. Gimme a good MP7 or Gatling Gun any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasarstrider Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Arghh... MP7 is weaker. The Enhanced Laser Rifle and Warp Ressonator are twice as powerful, SLAW has more range. Hmmm... I guess I need to rethink all my choices for when I play my Hard level game them. The armor changed a bit too I think. The enhanced psionic helmets protect 90%, didn't it use to be 80%? The Sky and Bio armors seem to have slightly weaker protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama8 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Do you have to start a new game for all of the changes to be applied like you did with the prior patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Just thought you guys would like to know that AVault now has a mirror for the v 1.2 patch of UFO:A Snatch the file here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bardos Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Nice to see they're taking some measures to improve game balance. Anyone know if they've done anything to reduce the effectiveness of psi control and those trangen paralysing rays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I did not have to start a new game to have the changes take place Llama8. And no, I don't know about the PSI yet el_bardos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centauris Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 what about polish patch? Running UFO is very annoying: when I try to start it it often starts in 2 session so there are like two UFO`s running at a time - I have to exit both of them and run it again.There`s more: when i try to run it i get only black screen with sounds from menu nothing else. I have to restart my whole PC! But anyway beside of those two thingies game rocks! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
