    Patch Is Buggy

    We played on a few severs today only to find that the patch is real buggy. Have found that almost all domination servers have reverted back to vanilla. Trying to get CO-OP working was a pain. Ends up in the black screen of death. Bommando, Bonehead and a couple of us have nothing but issues with the patch trying to get CO-OP games going.

    Reverting back makes the issues with CO-OP as it was, playable. No hosting issues.

    Re: Patch Is Buggy

    I'd like to add that every single one of the top notch Domination servers has reverted back to 1.02.

    Re: Patch Is Buggy

    So would it be advised to just reinstall the game and NOT install the patch if we want to join up for some CO-OP?

    So everyone's rolling back their game? I shudder to ask this, but how exactly would a downloaded version of the game be rolled back? If I have to re-dl this game to play with everyone I'm going to blow a gasket.

    Some people have reported problems using the retail patch and have had better luck with the "download" version patch. You could always try applying the other available patch and seeing what that does.

    Needless to say, it's not like UBI and GRIN didn't already drop the ball with this title.

    Actually, thats where I messed up earlier. I had downloaded the patch made for the downloaded version. I run the retail version. End result was the game just wouldn't even start up, so please, DON'T try that!

    But, despite the bugs with the gameplay... I enjoy the game. I hope they can work on and make it that much better.

    I agree with Clod on this one. I made the mistake of installing the DL patch and had to do a reinstall.

    Re: Patch Is Buggy

    If the patch didnt' have problems, I wouldn't think that all of the good Domination servers would still be at 1.02. Given how prone to crashing these servers are, and therefore how closely they must be watched over, I doubt that the patch has simply been overlooked or forgotten about at all of them.

    Re: Patch Is Buggy

    Well I'm glad there's consensus. I guess the only true test will be hopping on with a few of you and giving it a try.


    Really, I should be compensated for being a beta tester of this title...

    I am game. I'll hold my revert till later. Even after Bonehead left and other people joined we had issues. Everyone of us tried to host with the same results. So it was across the board. with us.

    heh your lucky, you don't have 4 cd's to switch in and out


    As for the patch being buggy, I guess it's just a wait'n'see? I thought it was a problem with the pings (albiet I only played with you guys a short time this morning, that being my only time with the patch), running around with a 250+ ping online always messes with me. But I wouldn't doubt it being the patch, as it's almost always a common sight to see a patch break more than it fixes.
