This is the completely new version. Almost everything has been reworked. Weapons, models, vehicles, buildings, infantry, everything. Completely changes the game. Also includes new tech. such as bumpmapping and shaders like crazy. Completely different from the old version. Get it.

All vehicles and 1 or 2 other things have been normal mapped and had shaders applied. There is also a fancy new shader for the gap/stealth effect. A bunch of vehicles are either new or have new textures/models. Lots of new/updated weapons and infantry too.
All the purchase icons are new and there is a LOT of interface and gameplay type changes like the sidebar.

Great release, but am I the only one it's a little buggy for? Crashes to the desktop more than anything, and it's always when it goes to load a map. I did just install scripts 3.4.4 so that may be it, as I haven't tried Renegade yet, but it was fine with 3.4.3 before that. What's bad is it seems to have a 33% chance of happening too.
There's other small tidbits I noticed (the image for the thing you killed or destroyed gets shown one a half times), and some changes I dislike (all buildings are white when you taregt them?), but despite these things, from what I've tried so far, it is an improvement.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Well.. I've haven't had any happy games with it, it's seems to be made of lag and my fps can't keep still, kinda noticed my fps hitting the 60s with it, which never happend before in the old version, but it's dropping down to 6 then all over the place.
Must be the shaders doing that, gonna disable them or remove them if I've can find where to turn them off.
The installer didn't have an option not to install that.
New tanks like the phase tank, looks fun.

Well, I've already installed it. Now when I try to use the desktop shortcut, the screen goes black like it's loading APB, and a message comes up saying I need the latest version. I click "OK" and the application closes.
|
I've have the newest DX installed, which is DX 9.0c, and the installer said, I'll needed to update...
Am guessing you might have to un-install the DX software, re-install it, then re-install the game, but this time, don't install the DX when it asks you too.

Bleh. That's a lot of trouble to go through. I guess I'll try it anyway though.

If you wanna be a badass ex-marine law enforcment game programmer college graduate, then you can be! I'm just glad we don't see the other part of you where you join AOL chat rooms as "hotchik69" and cyber with guys while you spank off into a sock and then cry yourself to sleep on your cock-shaped pillow.

Not only did you immaturely edit what J_Ball said in your quote. But you fucking got in the irony truck and drove it straight off a cliff.

Didn't it come in the installer or did you update that one?
|
Well, the one in the installer has some typos that were updated and fixed in the version I just posted. Plus the new version is only 3 MB.
