    This effects the following 7 maps only

    Clervaux
    Hosingen
    Lutrebois
    Magaret
    Senonchamps
    Stavelot
    Vaux Les Rosieres

    Variety of road type elements was limited to "Paved Road" and was used to overcome some particular pathing problems found in these instances - hopefully dealt with now as Bridge map coding improved to support better vehicle pathing.

    Ok.

    I noticed the TLD thread has an ETA for the final patch "next week." Is it the same for the WAR final patch as well?

    And any word on a final COI patch or the status of the MMCC3 servers?

    But again, thanks for these beta patches! I can't wait to try them out! [:D]

    Good questions, Dunradal! These Beta patches have actually got me playing CCTLD and downloading CCWAR again. As for COI, I always go back to that.

    No word

    Thanks Andrew. Haven't heard from Heath since 6/7. Might have to drop him a line again.



    Dundradal -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/23/2010 1:01:12 PM)

    No word seems to be the word of the day. :(

    Still great to know these are still being supported.



    Andrew Williams -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/23/2010 10:22:41 PM)

    ATTENTION


    Please don't use the bundled version of BHQ to try and create an account.

    The account creation website is malware infected and you risk infection

    Please download a malware free and updated versin of BHQ here  http://closecombat.matrixgames.com/WaR/WaRmods.html



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/26/2010 12:07:32 PM)

    Can you be a little bit more clear please?

    Do I have to uninstall the current BHQ?
    What if I haven't run the setup that's included with WAR?

    After downloading the one you posted do I install it into the WAR folder?



    Dundradal -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/26/2010 2:01:00 PM)

    It's not BHQ that has the malware it's the account creation site linked with that version of BHQ.

    Download the new version and install over the old and you should be good to go.

    Dundradal -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/27/2010 3:36:04 PM)

    Yeah I just wanted him to be clear it wasn't BHQ itself. He seemed confused.



    Tejszd -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (6/27/2010 10:23:38 PM)

    Dundradal it was good to clarify.... BHQ gets a lot of flack as it is without getting some it doesn't deserve....



    stolidog -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/21/2010 4:16:10 PM)

    Does this patch include adding the "night" turns to WaR as in TLD and LSA?

    Last year when the patch was being discussed, one of the postings showed a vehicle with a mortar blast nearby during a night turn:

    Andrew Williams -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/21/2010 9:11:45 PM)

    Yes, you need to mod the game though by editing campaign.txt



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/22/2010 10:53:42 AM)

    My campaign txt does not show that option.



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/29/2010 2:47:05 PM)

    Has the download been corrected yet to include Night Battles?



    Andrew Williams -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/29/2010 9:25:18 PM)

    No correction needed, the download is as it was supposed to be.

    An update for the Bloody Omaha mod now allows you to play BO with the WaR 10b patch installed



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/30/2010 3:56:08 PM)

    The Scenario Editor is not able to load any files.
    GC's
    Ops
    User scenarios

    The deploy bug still looks to be available.
    When I tested on the map Vielsalm the Germans were left with a rectangle area in the center of Town and a very small area in the lower right hand corner.
    Still see where the AI has some difficulty with Deep Water,2 soldiers of a german command group were able to cross where shallow water is but it took about 5 minutes for the other 2 to figure it out.

    And is it just me or did the vehicles get a graphic update?



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (7/30/2010 5:30:38 PM)

    I also don't understand why I have 2 teams 1 each from different BG's that are shaded out as being disorganized yet each team had upwards of 8-10 kills apiece in there last Battle.



    Platoon_Michael -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (8/7/2010 12:25:52 PM)

    The deployment bug still exists.

    pimpyotis -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (8/22/2010 4:06:06 AM)

    Is this issue part of the fix?

    Tejszd -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (8/22/2010 7:27:03 AM)

    I would think so.

    In the last post by Andrew on March 9/2010 he indicated he could play through the problem saved games and this patch was released June 17/2010.



    Andrew Williams -> RE: New 4.50.10b Beta Patch Available! (8/22/2010 8:24:13 AM)

    Have you tried playing your stalled save games?


    Let us know if it works for you.
