[cod] Patch 1.3 Beta

Thu Feb 26 11:38:52 EST 2004

I second that. BETA is not for working, it's for not working. So you might
wanna provide feedback on what's not working. Well, you've kinda done that
if Bryan will take this into consideration but providing details would
rather help more.

>> FEEDBACK
>>
>> INTRODUCTION
>>
>> ATTENTION: THIS PATCH IS A BETA PATCH and is not supported by
> Activision
>> Customer Support. It is intended to address the critical issues listed
>> below.
>>
>> Please carefully consider the following information before downloading
>> and/or installing this Beta patch:
>>
>> - This 1.3 BETA patch only supports English-language versions of the
> game.
>>
>> - Once you have installed this patch, the ONLY Call of Duty games you
> will
>> be able to see or join will be on game servers that are running the
> Beta
>> patch code.  You will NOT be able to access any of the servers running
>> non-BETA Call of Duty code (i.e. 1.2 or earlier).  If you have friends
> or
>> teammates who are not utilizing this patch, you will not be able to
> play
>> with them.
>>
>> - Once installed, there is no "uninstall" for the patch that would
> roll
> your
>> game back to the previous (release) version of Call of Duty.
> Therefore,
>> once you have installed this beta patch, the only way to revert to the
>> release version of the game is to uninstall Call of Duty completely,
> and
>> then reinstall the game from your Call of Duty CD-ROMs.
>>
>> - Installation of this Beta patch will make you ineligible for any
>> Activision Customer Support on this product.  HOWEVER, reverting to
> the
>> original release code by re-installing the game from the CDROM you
> purchased
>> will reinstate your eligibility.  Installing subsequent official
> patches
>> will also reinstate your eligibility for Activision Customer Support.
>>
>> - This patch does not address all known issues with the game.
>>
>> IMPORTANT NOTE:  Use of the in-game console is not supported by
> ActivisionR.
>> Please do not contact ActivisionR Customer Support with issues that
> arise
>> from using console commands in-game.
>>
>> NOTES FOR MOD USERS:
>> - It is recommended that any user modifications that have been
> installed
> to
>> the Call of Duty directory be removed before installing this patch.
> These
>> modifications are not supported by ActivisionR and may not be
> compatible
>> with some of the new features that are included.
>> - Call of Duty does not support mods that have spaces in the mod's
> folder
>> name.  Be sure that the folder that contains your mod does not have
> spaces,
>> otherwise users will not be able to download the files.  For example,
> a
> mod
>> in a folder called "My Mod" would be invalid, whereas "MyMod" or
> "My_Mod"
>> would work.
>>
>> FIX LIST
>>
>> - Fixed a slow update problem with the server list.
>> - Fixed a problem where the server list would improperly list servers
> with
> a
>> ping of "1."
>> - Fixed a problem with the server list being incomplete.
>> - Fixed an exploit where prone players who leaned around corners could
> see
>> the enemy without being seen.
>> - Fixed an exploit where players could switch between prone and
> jumping
>> positions to move rapidly across a map.
>> - Fixed a bug with the sway animation of the sniper rifle scope on
> high
> ping
>> servers.
>> - Made improvements to Autobalancing.
>>
>> FEEDBACK
