World War II gamers, get ready for another step forward from Darkest Hour: Normandy 1944. We have a significant patch being released in a week that will not only fix a few gameplay issues but add new content.
First of all, we our proud to reveal our latest British vehicle the Cromwell Tank. This will be added along with several new pieces of content in the upcoming patch. The Cromwell modelled by Tman24 and textured by Aeneas2020 will form an important part of the British Armoured contingent.
Many of you have been asking where our new bug fix patch is. We originally scheduled it for this week, but unfortunately its release has been delayed. This is due to many reasons including some missing staff members and because we want to make sure everything is perfect before we get it to you. So we are currently working on a 7 day delay - it will be released next week.
But to keep your mouth watering, here's a few more pieces it will contain:
Map Fixes
All DH maps have been tweaked to make them more playable. This includes better spawn protection, reworking cap zones and other tweaks (DH-Brecourt is now far better balanced, for example).
Weapon Fixes
- New Weapon Iron Sights
- New Weapon Sounds
- New Scope Textures (for some weapons)
- Bazooka and Shrek Fixed
- New Deploy system for LMGs
Vehicle Fixes
- Higgins Boat Slowed
GUI Fixes
- Vote Menu Fixed
- Chat Menu Fixed
- When disconnected from a DH game it now goes back to the DH browser instead of the RO browser
- Weapons Icons fixed so they do not stretch or squash in GUI
- Version Number Added to Menu
- In game dialogue now shows Allied Star instead of Russian one
There are many more fixes to be found in this patch, and we are excited to hear your feedback upon release. If you haven't already, get an account at our forums - it takes less than a minute - and tell us what else you'd like to see from the game. We read all of your input.
Until next week, gentlemen, see you on the battlefield!
Finally, an allied tank that can actually go up against most of the German tanks.
