<p><span lang="en-gb"><font size="2" face="Tahoma">"</font><font face="Times New Roman">I know many of you may feel a bit left out seeing the console updates that keep getting pushed through, which is why I am making this post.<br>
I want to explain why the PC community cannot receive updates quite as frequently as the console world.<br>
<br>
For that, please read the PC Patching Process sticky here:<br>
</font></span><a href="http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=91072" target="_blank"><span lang="en-gb"><u><font color="#0000ff" face="Times New Roman">http://www.callofduty.com/board/view...p?f=29&t=91072</font></u></span></a><span lang="en-gb"><br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman">After having read that, I want to update you with where we are at in that process. Presently, we are smack dab in the middle of<b> Phase 2</b>.<br>
We have a comprehensive list of what the community has been reporting, and we are reproducing & fixing some the issues for Patch 1.2.<br>
<br>
Now we understand that some issues are more urgent than others. For this reason, we are aiming to release Patch 1.2 as quickly as possible - sometime towards the end of this month, beginning of next month (February).<br>
We want to move quickly on some of the more pertinent and more easily isolated issues, rather than waiting to release a more comprehensive patch that attempts to address them all.<br>
<br>
Below is a list of some of the issues we are trying to fix for Patch 1.2. In order to get this patch out at the beginning of February at the latest,<br>
there may be an issue or two we intended to fix that gets pushed to Patch 1.3. </font></span>
</p><ul>
<ul>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">All relevant console hot fixes & TU fixes (mostly MP map fixes). </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">HTTP Redirect. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Dedicated server reconnecting to master server index w/out reboot. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Fast-XP "Power Servers" exploit. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Server authentication errors. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Cg_drawFPS in Multiplayer. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Cg_fov defaulting back to 65 after death. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">+connect command line argument. </font></span></li>
<li><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Preventing altering clan tag colors (used to appear as friendly instead of an enemy). </font></span></li>
</ul></ul>
<p><span lang="en-gb"><font face="Times New Roman">Patch 1.2 will not address every problem in the game. Patch 1.3 will encompass many more of the outstanding issues,<br>
and will start at Phase 2 again once patch 1.2 passes through Phase 5.<br>
<br>
Additional support for the game will be available by way of patches as necessary in the future.<br>
And before you ask, one of the items still on our list is</font><b> <font face="Times New Roman">/record</font></b><font face="Times New Roman"> (this is unfortunately a bigger task which cannot be completed in time for 1.2).<br>
More info regarding future patches will be made available after Patch 1.2 is released.<br>
<br>
Hope that clears up some of the questions. In the meantime, enjoy double-XP this weekend!<br>
<br>
