Patch 1.6 Info

Dear C&C Generals players,

As promised, here are more specifics on the planned 1.6 patch which should be out in the next 2-3 weeks. We are not rushing it through testing to ensure that it is a big plus, not a big minus for the community.

Here is the run down...

1. FIREWALLPORTOVERRIDE INI ENTRY - repaired this entry so it functions correctly.

2. ALT-F4 MULTIPLAYER EXPLOIT - Quitting the game during a multiplayer match using Alt-F4 will now correctly give the offending user a disconnect stat.

3. CHINESE AND KOREAN IME WINDOW ORDER - Re-prioritized the Korean and Chinese IME windows on the Save/Load screen so they now sort on top of all other windows.

4. SCUD STORM ANTHRAX BETA BUG - GLA?s Scud Storm now has the correct damage radius when upgraded with Anthrax Beta.

5. CHINA GATTLING TANK BUG - China?s Gattling Tank now correctly moves slower when it is damaged.

6. MULTIPLAYER LOBBIES ? The lobbies have been renamed to allow people to congregate based on the type of game they want to play, not just their region.

1 vs 1
2 vs 2
3 vs 3
4 vs 4
Newbie
Asia
Europe
N America
S America
No Rush
No Supers
Mod Maps

7. GENERAL BALANCING ISSUES:
? China?s Gattling weapons now require Line of Sight to fire.
? China?s MiG cost increased from 1000 to 1200.
? China?s MiG Armor cost increased from 500 to 1000.
? US?s Cold Fusion Reactor Control Rod upgrade cost decreased from 800 to 500.

8. QUICKMATCH RESOLUTION ? the resolution for QuickMatch games is no longer limited to 800x600. All resolutions allowed.

9. INVISIBLE UNITS - Fixing the problem where ?behind the buildings? graphic was causing people with some old video cards to see invisible units.

10. NVIDIA GeForce FX fix - Fixed graphics glitch with certain drivers for GeForce FX.

Hope that helps. We`re at your service.
