CC- Cross of Iron Public Beta Update Available

[Andrew Loveridge]

Hello All,

The v3.50.01 beta update is ready to download. This is a Public Beta version. If you would like to help us do a final test before it becomes an official update, give it a try. We believe this is close to the final version and hope to make it official in a couple weeks.

How to download the Public Beta update:

Register your copy of Close Combat - Cross of Iron in our Members Club here:

http://www.matrixgames.com/community/login.asp

Then go to My Games and Private Downloads for CC-Cross of Iron and you should find the v3.50.01 Public Beta.

Changes in this update;

EXE fixes

・ LOS line now displays correctly when LOS is blocked but LOF is not (i.e. line is light green / dark green).
・ Reduced accuracy when LOS to target is blocked.
・ Muzzle flashes now visible on client in multi-player games.
・ Voice cue & message for weapon ineffective against target protection / armor only plays when target is a vehicle.
・ Gunner now checks if HE for main gun is rated more highly than AP before automatically unloading HE and assuming AP will be reloaded.
・ Fixed a timing issue with multi-player handshaking where both players would get stuck on the multi-player screen after the connection was first established.

DLL & help files

・ Changed About dialog title to “Close Combat: Cross of Iron”
・ Added copyright notices (they were there but hidden previously).
・ Modified various strings that referred to “Close Combat III: The Russian Front”

GETeams.txt

・ Fixed a couple "Full Name" entries that displayed redundant information displayed in the "Default Name" which forced text outside of intended display area.

RUTeams.txt

・ Fixed naming of Russian sniper unit names from SNT-40 to be SVT-40.

Weapons.txt

・ Changed weapon "fire animate" for AT rifle from "bazooka" to "machine gun"
・ Fixed weapon names that used a "." where they should not be used.
・ Fixed weapon name for Russian SNT-40 to be SVT-40

Map fixes

・ Updated map coding of walls to be more inline with the currently accepted map coding conventions. Maps effected are: ver1, ver3, ver7, ver8, ver9, ver11, ver12, Orel, orel2, orel3, Rom1, Rom2, Rom3.

Other updates

・ Added files from GameSaveFixforCoI.exe
・ Added Command Center updates
・ Added MMCC3 Multiplayer update from July 2009
・ Added files from ModSwapBuilderUtility_Patch1010.exe

N.B. This is the first update for Cross of Iron, even with the version number 3.50.01. The original release was 3.50 on the developers end.

Incredible! I can't believe there is still work going on for CoI! Nice one Matrix!

I have a few issues to report, although they are rather cosmetical:

Almost all maps have strange VL names, sometimes mixed German, French and English.
Especially the German translations are horribly wrong. If you could post a list, I could translate them correctly for you if you are interested.

[Q.M]

Excellent support. Thanks guys

Is there any update on the official release, guys?

No update

[Dundradal]

Any update at this time?

[Dundradal]

Any update again? I noticed the WAR beta has the same mention of a "final" patch in a few weeks. I hope the few weeks of COI doesn't turn into the same amount of time for WAR.

And does the beta affect play with mods?

[wurger]

any patch down the track to make it windowable?
