[Pumba1968]

Un nouveau patch beta...qui peut flinguer un certain nombre de choses pour des parties en cours.

Hi Everyone,

Major kudos to the WITP-AE development team. This public beta includes the long-awaited Wide Screen resolution support many have wished to see. It also has a ton of other great improvements and fixes. We need your help to test this as thoroughly as possible before declaring it official. We believe it's ready, but we can't be as thorough as all of you can in making sure of that. Please take a look in the Members Club, give it a try and let us know if it meets with your approval.

Here's the full change list:

Wide Screen Support

New for Patch 03, build 1101 and above:
-px –py
To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be substituted.
For small map scenarios use of the original sizes is recommended. Set up a separate icon, with an appropriate name, for these cases, for example for Coral Sea.

Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor support the px and py values.
We were unable to test on all possible monitor combinations, if you experience issues you should immediately remove the –px –py from your command line switches to revert to standard display behavior.
Examples:
-px1920 –py1200 for a 1920x1200 monitor in full screen mode
–px1680 –py1050 for windowed mode, so that the window is within desktop

Change History:

V1.01.01b – February 14, 2010

• Patch Three – Beta – This release is comprehensive, thus updating all previous versions to v1.01.01b.

• Code Changes

2. Fixed - Cross-assignment of land units grabbing air/sea leaders.
3. Fixed - Jumbled line on Industry Management Screen when sorting.
4. Fixed - City attack not working when using 'Commander Discretion'.

6. Correction - Wrong location variable used in checking for Soviet airgroups, causing random carrier groups to appear Soviet for missions
7. Corrected inconsistency in low-level altitude determination.
8. Fixed - Don't show 'manage repairs' if no ships can be repaired. Otherwise the repair screen can be shown with a phantom ship.
9. Gameplay Change: Allow Seaplane tenders with organic air groups to fly day patrols even if disbanded in a port 1-3. The port restriction is not in affect for the AI.
10. Changed - Suppress 'Done' on change of command screen until change is chosen – caused Political Points leak.
11. Changed - When PGM is used, it will be reported as "missile". The actual name of the device will appear on the combat report under the plane's weapons.
12. Fixed - When planes aborted missions, the mines and missiles did not get returned to the pool as 'unexpended'.
13. Adjusted repair and conversion time when a ship is concurrently undergoing both Temp AP conversion and regular Upgrade/Conversion.
14. Corrected TF selection display on TF screen when in "in this hex" mode.
15. Suppress Upgrade Yes/No option when repair controls are expanded on Ship Screen to prevent overwrite.

18. Prevented improper destination/follow setting for off map TF from teleporting the TF onto the map.
19. Prevented overflow in capacity calculations during TF Load Allocation, add cross load capacity shortfall and load safety factor messages.
20. Gameplay Change: Torpedo accuracy reduced a bit in general and a bit more against escorts.
21. Gameplay Change: ASW bombing experience effects altered to increase effects of ASW aircraft over time.
22. Major Interface Improvement: Added wide-screen, high resolution support.
23. Fix for AI not repairing captured industry.

32. Fixed issues affecting fast transport pickups.
33. Tweaked Ship bombardment affecting port base.
34. Fixed - Don't allow transport ships to be removed from TF in the "Verify Load" if only one ship or not in a friendly base. Detaching ship in this case causes it to disappear from game.

On peut enfin choisir la résolution la mieux adaptée à son écran!

Cela ne peut que m'inciter à m'y remettre.

Ha tiens, je vais peut-être finir par essayer, compte tenu de la nature "compréhensive" de ce patch (finit le temps où il fallait se pogner a la mano les huit patchs successifs...)

[Pumba1968]

Tout le monde doit être entrain de le télécharger ce patch...27 Ko/s seulement. Y en a pour une heure alors qu'il ne pèse que 95 Mo. On se demande à quoi peut bien servir le Mega débit...Ou alors Orange est encore en litige avec son partenaire US au sujet de la renégociation des accords; du coup le débit est volontairement limité. Encore un autre complôt...

[Pumba1968]

Je laisse tomber pour le moment car je n'arrête point d'être déconnecté du serveur...Ils ne peuvent pas tous aller jouer à autre chose de temps à autre.

[Pumba1968]

Quelqu'un arrive à le télécharger ce patch?
Je viens de réessayer et à la vitesse de 7 Ko/s...Il y en a pour 4 heures; tout çà pour un truc de 95 Mo. Y a un truc qui déconne ce n'est pas possible autrement.

je ferais un essai ce we !

Excellent jeu, mais caricature du "monster game" injouable hors IA, à moins de disposer de plusieurs vies....
