Upgrade to v1.612?
« on: April 10, 2013, 07:45:56 pm »
For those of you who did not know it is possible to have a Battlefield 1942 server in version 1.612.  To play on version 1.612 you do not have to download or install anything and you do not need a patch switcher. Any player in version 1.6 or 1.61 can connect to a server in 1.612 although it will appeared greyed out. Players who have the origin version rather than the CD version will also be able to join the server and it will not appear greyed out to them.

Your map hacks will still work too. You will need the appropriate map hack for the version you are running. I for example am running 1.6, I can join a server in 1.612 and can use a 1.6 map hack like Legion, if I was running 1.61 or using the origin version I could connect to a server in 1.612 but legion would not work.

The main reason I am suggesting this is because it would allow more players to join our server.

If the change went ahead I would rename the server World Best Soldiers Modded 1.612.



Advantages
  • Players in version 1.61 can join our server
  • Players using the origin version can join our server
  • People who do not have Battlefield 1942 would be able to join our server without paying anything since it is available as a free download on origin

Disadvantages
  • For Players in version 1.6 the server would be greyed out



What do you think?

Personally I like the idea.  But remember ballos moved their server to 1.61.  So they could join our server.

Nothing against the ballos.

Ive been thinking about asking about this myself, the server is too empty too much of the time, ive been sat on the server for 3 hours at a time with maybe one or two players coming on in that time, if it brings more people to the server id be happy for that. I think we should consider it, maybe have the server be called 'World Best Soldiers Modded (CD&Origin) rather than v1.612

I imagine they have a pacth switcher and could play on our server now if they wanted to.

The server name is limited to 32 characters, World Best Soldiers Modded 1.612 is exactly 32.
Your suggestion is too long so is World Best Soldiers Modded 1.6/1.61

Sounds great especially if it means more people will join the server!

1.612 came out when Battlefield 1942 was released on Origin which was October last year. You cannot update your CD version to 1.612 but you will be using it if you are playing the Origin version.

Its fairly new, it was just to allow origin and cd players to join the same server, as when origin was released their servers had to be seperate. Im not sure exactly when it came out, but i dont think its been too long and theres a lot of people who havnt heard about it.

Since everyone who has commented seems to agree then this will go ahead.

The server will be upgraded tomorrow.  O0

The server is now in version 1.612.

I have ended up naming the server World Best Soldier Modd 1.612. Although you can use up to 32 characters in the server name it only displays the first 30 in the server menu.
