Hello again BF2142'ers! The FirstStrike Mod is out once more with a game-fix patch. This clears up several crashing problems as well as provides many bug fixes. We've also taken the liberty of increasing the accuracy of our rifles and pistols slightly, as well as other numerous game tweaks. Below are the links for download:
Here is the list of bug fixes and tweaks.
Weapons:
-Almost every rifle and pistol in the mod has had its accuracy tweaked and adjusted to be more accurate.
-Medic Grenades no longer able to be replenished to avoid spamming
-Ewebs/MKii’s have been given a bit more starting ammo
-Squad leader ping has been increased in radius and amount of pings available
-Deployable uav beacons can no longer be replenished
-Support class now only has 2 mines, and the mines can no longer be rearmed
-Sniper rifles now changed to reload like other weapons
Droids:
-Droids should not kill you now when you deploy them
-Droid surfing has been eliminated
-Trooper UAV Droid now has a decrease in radius of ping and a longer time in between pings
-Heavy Weapons droids should now be more useful/powerful
Vehicles:
-Space Fighter targeting systems have been fixed, which should make fight-on-fighter combat on our space maps a lot more fun once again.
-Freerunner APC crash fix
-All heavy land vehicles (and on some maps the ATSTs) have been locked to their teams permanently. No more vehicle stealing.
-Firehawke HUD changed to match the other imperial vehicles
Maps:
-Ticket Drain Fixed on Convoy Raid 64p
-Additional Y-wing spawns were added to Convoy raid to help tackle spawncamping.
-Several building exploits were fixed on the Tatooine maps
-Rhen var Ice Plains reduction in combat area for all versions to encourage more direct combat
-Lighting adjusted on Mos Entha and spawn points moved and added for the Crashed Corvette CP
-Bestine's 32p first hill flag is now one way. Once the rebels take it imps can't cap it back.
-Bestine's freerunner will now spawn more frequently
-Ryloth 16p shrunk to the top half of the map
-Ryloth's vehicles are all now locked to their appropriate teams.
-32p Ryloth has seen a reduction in the amount of aircraft on it. They will also take longer to spawn (with exception to the lambda)
General:
-Several graphical issues have been addressed and fixed
-The game doesn't hang on the black screen when initially loading if you're in windowed mode and not focused on the game at start.
A few things to note for the client files. For those that already have FS 1.25 installed, all you need is to install the 1.25-1.30 incremental patch. Here is a link to the incremental patch:
