Title: Released second hotfix for Sync errors
Post by: Blackbishop on November 24, 2012, 01:30:18 AM
Hello Eastern Front fans,

The second hotfix has been released, and it will fix a couple of different sync errors and AI error issues detected after the first hotfix was released. It will fix the invisible gun of the Jagdpanther as well.

Don't forget to post any feedback from the patch, it is very important to improve Eastern Front; thanks to your feedback the current sync issues and a potential AI error have been fixed.

As this announcement is quite short, I'll post a couple of screenshot of a new models finished (courtesy of DMz and Beefy^):

Oh more updates, ;D i myself have not encountered any Sync errors( or crashes for that matter), but i have some feedback on stuff i found that seems out of place.

The ppsh makes a reload sound after every burst, sound pretty strange,

The mosin is missing the bolt animation(nothing major, just something i noticed)

Also the IS-2 seems to have been outfitted with a railgun, because the shells are travelling at the speed of light (instantly hit target when fired)

The American commander voice is also pretty strange(although i can understand if its for clarifying reasons, so you know whats happening)

The AI seems to have a fetish for Geschützvagen too, played 3 games vs ai and they used them every time, could be random change though. Will check more tomorrow.

So the Ostheer's gonna using half-track opel blitz to secure sectors instead of normal one, and what about the AA opel blitz?

Edit: oh the half-track version was called Maultier :P

For me too. This is what happens endlessly: http://i49.tinypic.com/2ppino1.jpg (http://i49.tinypic.com/2ppino1.jpg)
It seems to me that the EF Launcher does not manage to connect to the EF server.

because server is busy. It worked for me this morning.
If you dont want to wait you can play by unticking the autoupdate button in your launcher settings. Then restart the launcher. If you want to update you have to click "update" manually.

Not sure why you took away the off-map tank riders. the low fuel maps make it impossible to use that ability effectively

Because the ability was redundant with both the SU-85 call in which is now an option with the KV-1 and also redundant with the same tank being called in that you could easily produce. It also didn't fit the doctrine well, having all soviet corp infantry ride on the existing T-34s is a much more economical solution.

Even on low fuel maps you should be able to pump tanks or at least save for them when it becomes endgame.

The new mechanic ability will make it more economic to produce tanks with this strat. Also, the ability unlocks PPSs on Guards if you go T3 or can't afford your tanks.

ive got Hotfix 1 and 2 but still geting sync error's, i havent actually been able to play a match with any player's o.O

It is because ppl with different hotfix version can connect each other and try to start a game.

So before start a game, ask another players what is their version. If they are still on 1.7.0.1 you will get sync error right after game loads.

indeed this issue will be fixed with patch 1.7.1.0 we are working on atm :P

Uh, just played a skirmish. Fooling around with mines and such.

figured i would end the game by rushing the WH base when i noticed there is something wrong with the IS-2, the shots did almost no damage to the WH armoured car. Figured i'd let the devs know.

Hmph. We'll check it out but it should be fine.

Did the shots penetrate? Or Miss?

Replay would be good.

Well it hit and penetrated, 100% sure of that.

Don't really know how to post replays and such though.

Save a replay next time you see it, go to My Documents->My Games->company of heroes->playback

In that folder, find the replay according to the date, time, and the map played. Once you have the replay, post it here by going to "Additional Options" while posting, go to "Browse" and find the right replay.

Cheers!

If you saw it a lot in one game, but forgot to save the replay, no worries! Just stop playing, go out, and either upload your "temp.rec" file, or rename the "temp.rec" file so that you can upload it later. If you start a new game, at the end of the match it will be overwritten.

Seems to be an error in the IS-2 armour table. I'll pass it on.
Thanks for the heads up  ;)
