Another week has gone by and we have another patch for you. We realize it may have been a long week of testing with the constant server crashes; this is why patch 1.2 especially focuses on attempting to remedy the crashing issue. Our programmer, who has been testing for several hours every night, feels that the fixes listed below will either solve some of the crashes or at least point him in the right direction. Also, our level designers have been touching up the maps according to your feedback and bug reports. Lastly, there are a couple other small changes, but you can read it all in the changelog below.
Today's screenshots will focus less on the visuals of Resistance and Liberation and more on the action in game. Therefore, below are some screenshots taken during actual play.
Changelog - Open Beta 1.2

Awesome, some good fixes... can't wait to play!
sweet!!
ironsights are not fixed..
For all that have an iron sight mess up:
-switch to any other weapon and switch back.
We never said we fixed that. O_o Thats the huge overhanging lag bug we are working on.
No more pistols for German grenadiers?!
:(
Nobody will play nazi anymore...
why? no reason for that
Use your bayonet, like a real soldier would.
why no pistols??
too bad, germans will have no chance!
sweet maybe this will fix my issues so i can actually play the open beta. I couldn't play previously because it never launched correctly to the game.
Also theres a lot of qqing going on but they haven't even tried it yet.
My main concern is the way the ironsight is set up.
Have you guys tried adopting an ironsight system that is similar to Insurgency mod?
I believe INS's iron-sight mechanic (in terms of their "stable" aiming compared to the "loose" aiming of RnL) would make the weapons more fun to use.
I would really love to see this implemented as an experiment on which players love.
You can press and hold your iron sight button for a stable IS.
I like the system, but Kilroy is right, it;s a little klunky. Not your fault, just way the game works. The Insurgency ironsights are great, and to be honest, you don't really need to levels of IS.
Much like how some games have you hold shift to hold your breath, holding the IS button reduces your IS sway and gives you a slight zoom. Plus, you can adjust the sensitivity of the mouse independent from regular IS to allow you to make more precise shots at distance.
You don't need it persay, but it is something semi-original and it helps if you know how to use it.
make the head smaller. right now it's busting at the seams so to speak.
the problem is you based the head on the hl2 model when you should have based it on the dods version. eitherway, it looks rather outdated and engorged.
congratulation on new release.
Um, no our modeller didn't base it on hl2.
