Dear Battlegroup42 fans,
although the last patch to version 1.35b was released just recently, we have not been idle during the past few weeks. Since there were still some bugs in 1.35b, we have decided to release another patch to version 1.36.
This patch is a cumulative patch, you can install it directly after the Full Client 1.35a or after patch 1.35b (which is now obsolete). Most of the changes in 1.36 were made for balancing reasons, as can be seen in the change log. All known bugs of 1.35b have been fixed, as well as some leftover bugs. Additionaly, some mesh and
code fixes have been integrated into 1.36. A new static mesh (Trawler) can be found on 4005-kornwerderzand.
It was made by our team member Cabrio. As a little bonus we have included a reworked version of Iwo Jima, done by Sarge31FR.
We hope you´ll enjoy this latest version of Battlegroup42. If you have any suggestions, bugs to report
or even want to join our team, please visit our website at Battlegroup42.de.
We are always on the lookout for talented mappers, skinners and modelers. So, if you think you got what
it takes to work for a still growing mod, visit our website :-)
As always, you can find the files in our Download section.
UPDATE:
For our german speaking fans, the first mirror is available. Thanks go out to the team of exp.de for this !
