Beta 1.497 Download (Updated 6/25/09)

Post by Tasiin »

The 1.497 beta patch is now available here: http://www.giantswd.org/?file=31&search ... mit=Search

Note: this is not compatible with the Graphical Revision Mod. Installing the beta will automatically remove GRM. Do not reinstall it afterwards or you will have problems.

Also, the new text in this release has not been translated into Italian or Spanish yet. If you speak either of those languages and are willing to translate it, please send me a PM.

Patch 1.497 has been released. The changes from version 1.496 are as follows:

Bugs fixed from 1.496:

• Fixed vimp meat/soul energy not being displayed properly for late joiners in base build games.
• Fixed offspring responding to summons when dead.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent offspring from dying properly in multiplayer.
• Fixed a bug that allowed multiple players to join team Kabuto after a server switches from an MvMvM to 3-way game type.
• Fixed gyrocopters being unusually difficult to target with adrenaline as Kabuto.
• Fixed Reapers being able to cast Tornado while cloaked.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Kabuto from being able to spike Reapers.
• Players no longer lose points when killed by turrets.
• Solved numerous crash to desktop issues.

General:
• Attack notifications are no longer played when buildings are damaged by players on the same team.
• New players are now automatically assigned teams that will best balance the game.
• Fixed players getting stuck inside of dead offspring.

• Fixed Reaperski ammo not being synchronized with other players.
• Fixed various problems with Reaper vimp soul collection in multiplayer.

Update on 6/25: patch 1.497 revision F has been released. While this is not a required update if you have 1.497E, it is highly recommended that you download the patch again. This update solves some crash-to-desktop issues when playing with the Direct3D 8 renderer, a crash on Kabuto Story 2 in single player and fixes some problems with the dedicated server utility.

You would have to get in touch with the original creators of the patch. Some of them still lurk around the forums though.
