Project Reality v0.86 Upcoming Patch Release news

We are currently putting the finishing touches on the Project Reality v0.86 patch. You may have seen some of the changes and features posted in the weekly Developer Journals and Blogs, but it is now time to officially release everything that will be included in the upcoming patch.

We had initially planned to release the PR v0.86 patch at a much earlier date, but encountered a few complications that had to be addressed. The release date will be posted once everything is ironed out and finalized, but you should expect a release prior to the end of May 2009.

Project Reality and Battlefield 2 v1.5 Patch

The Project Reality v0.86 patch is meant to be run on Battlefield 2 v1.41. PR v0.86 will not officially support Battlefield 2 v1.5, since the final release date of the patch has yet to be announced by EA. Once the BF2 v1.5 patch has been released, we will develop, if necessary, a PR v0.87 “hotfix” to fix any compatibility issues that arise. Until that time, we would advise the community to hold fire on installing the new BF2 patch if you wish to play Project Reality.

Project Reality v0.86 Features

As with any patch release, the main focus of PR v0.86 is bug and stability fixes, though we have also managed to squeeze in a few new assets and features. Here are a couple screen shots of some of the newly added content:

We would like to extend a special thanks out to the =TCC= TCombat.com Community, who have been supplying game servers and testers for Project Reality for quite some time now. They have been working hard behind the scenes helping us prepare the PR v0.86 patch and without their support we would not have been able to prepare it in a timely manner.
