1.2 patch

specs on patch due out

The Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars 1.2 Update is currently with Activision's Quality Assurance Team, and undergoing exactly the same testing as if it were a full retail game. It takes a couple of weeks for this process to be completed, but it won't be long before we have the update in your hands.

We've already begun work on the 1.3 Update, which will feature even more improvements. In addition to that, we're currently putting polish to the Software Developers Kit, and, as I mentioned above, we're continuing work on comprehensive tournament support. More on all of that in future Blog updates!

The voip is really clear, that could be a bad thing though :D

Some really nice changes, don't like the fuzzy effect between maps all too much though.

ETQW patch 1.2 crash bug on loading map
« Reply #7 on: October 31, 2007, 09:59:14 PM »
Hi folks,

Just in case there's anyone else out there besides me who had this problem...

After patching Enemy Territory: Quake Wars to version 1.2 the game crashes while attempting to load any map on a system equipped with an ATI Radeon X700 graphics adapter.  Issue probably also appears on other Radeon systems currently running older drivers.

Fix is to update ATI Catalyst drivers to the latest version.

ahoy bosco, I had a similar problem on an x800, I renamed the exe to sidestep the issue, will try the newer driver though, thanks :)
