No map editor people!
But you can safely install the new 1.3 patch to get a look at the improvements & then re-apply the 1.2 patch straight over it again,& wow is it good? You betcha!!

"Yeah, are the mod tools finally going to be released with 1.3? Specifically the map editor?"


I wouldnt count on it until after Road to Rome is released, otherwise there would be no need for the expansion :/

You dont need to have your cd in the drive. Just make an image with a tool like CloneCD, and then mount the image in a virtual-cd program like Deamon Tools. Works great and speeds up the process too, since the damn cd doesn't have to spin up...

Yeah, are the mod tools finally going to be released with 1.3? Specifically the map editor?

I hope that the initial cd-check when starting the game will be removed by 1.3. I hate it to get my BF CD and inserting in into my system to be able to start that damn game... It's worthless anyway since you need a working cd-key to play it online and certainly no one dares to play that boring singleplayer modus...

and judging by the updated news entry, so did Blue

Indeed! Doh!

The latter, I'd assume. But well-spotted, I had thought Jamil Dawsari himself had posted, and judging by the updated news entry, so did Blue.

so, umm, who is this Blackthorn, since they had two different .sigs in this thread?

or is this just a case where the former posted an email received privately from the latter, which would explain the apparent dichotomy...

The Taiwanese probably misunderstood EA about the patch. I guess their engrish isnt too good.

btw, when are we going to get our hands on the official developing tools for BF? in Road To Rome? the 1.3 patch?

Hi All,
Sorry for the confusion, but our colleagues at EA Taiwan have inadvertantly posted an old, work-in-progress version of the patch. That version was sent to them for review...but not for posting. We are still nailing down some issues which are in that version...and the official version has yet to be finalized.

So, the official release won't be compatible with the version released by EA Taiwan. This is because the executable will most likely be changed to address the issues we're currently working on.

We will be releasing the official 1.3 patch soon (and for those who've speculated, yes, after the whole 1.2 release we've decided that we'll only mention the patches when we're ready to release it).

Our goal is to keep improving your Battlefield 1942 experience and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

It works, just tried it out on one of the 1.3-servers out there. Some really neat new features in there; improving loading-speeds, new models/sounds, no cd-check between maps, solved past Live-issues etc...

Not sure if it is a final patch though, might aswell be a beta - although it wouldn't make much sence posting it on the official TW-site...

As a mod developer for 1942... I am here to tell you do not install this patch... it is not the real 1.3 patch and will cause you issues...
