Eastern Front Patch 1.710

[Blackbishop]

Eastern Front fans,

The new version 1.7.1.0 has been released! It contains some fixes that everyone was expecting:

• Pershing ability works as intended.
• Jagdpanther gun is visible.
• Mosin Nagant rifles are now always visible.
• SVT40 rifles are now always visible.
• Rifles now have the correct reload animation.
• Return of the "Save the Christmas" mission without important bugs.
• And many others...

If you want to check what else was changed, you can look at our changelog.

The "Save the Christmas" mission is a special scripted map we made last year; probably a lot of players missed it so it will be available all this week. The objective is simple, don't let the snowmen destroy the big Christmas Tree prepared by everyone. But as the enemy just appeared from nowhere you will have a hard time keeping them away. Survive all the waves and protect the Christmas Tree!

If you can't find this mission, you can find it here:

As additional gift for you, MaxiKing and MonolithicBacon have finished their Winter Map Conversion Pack!
Containing:

• Angoville (2)
• Semois (2)
• Beaux Lowlands (4)
• St. Fromond (4)
• Sturzdorf (4)
• Vierville (4)
• Carpiquet (4)

Just update with your launcher and you should be able to get the latest patch. In case you cannot update with the launcher you can use one of the mirrors:

Mediafire
SpeedyShare

If you already update and your launcher got stuck at "0% gathering information" part, it is because the server is too loaded and can't attend your request, you only need to disable the autoupdater feature in the launcher for now.

Also, remember to vote for us in Steam Greenlight, supposing you haven't voted for us, if you want to have Eastern Front in Steam version. You can check our Greenlight publication here.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
The Eastern Front Team

As much as I doubt that this'll get any more activity for the mod beyond compstomps(Which you should be discouraging), it's a nice mod.

Thanks for posting your opinion.  You really seem to boost self confidence and moral for those developers for your insightful comment, as well as the community.  Your comment has a ton to do about this thread, because you well explained your opinions about this patch and didn't ramble on about something completely irrelevant.  You deserve a cookie.

Thanks for fixing the issues with the Pershing and some other armored problems. That should even the score in the lategame tank slugfest me and my friends often enjoy. Good to see things picking up! Looking forward to some new guns being brought to the fight soon!

There were problems with the IS2 as well. Have they been fixed? It isn't in the changelog.

Nevermind: the problems with the IS2 haven't been solved yet..... it takes ages to destroy a Marder.

Weird, I did saw rifles alright but i'm not sure that reload animation was right.

I mean at 1.7, not in 1.71.

[Blackbishop]

@Sotahullu
Some players had different settings, so for those with high model detail rifles were always visible, but the players with low model detail had this issue. The rifles could be seen when zoomed in, but no one plays like that.

Animations were messed up, kar98s, lee enfiled and other similar rifles didn't perform the bolt action animation and reloaded in an incorrect way.

[Orle]

Uuh, did you forget to fix the IS-2 still do very low damage to stugs and such.

Thanks for another release guys, me and my oldman have been hammering this mod over Christmas and its been great fun!

Looking good.
I had a quick play with the British earlier, the crusader tank is such a weird addition (certainly a few changes to the Brits eh). Loving the new soviet firebase and outpost designs
