Harvard Bonin postete Neuigkeiten zum neuen Patch v.1.3 und sollte alles gut gehen beim Testen wird es schon Heute den neuen Patch geben:

—

We’re continuing to work hard on Patch 1.3. Rather than wait and continue to explore mysterious issues (the serious error continues to be hard to nail down but we’re getting closer) we are going to release a subset of the intended fixes described previously. It’s either that or we wait an undetermined amount of time to get everything in. We’d rather get most improvements out and then fix the remaining issues in the near future.

As of today, 1.3 consists of the following fixes:

– QuickMatch stability and matching
– Refresh button added to Custom Lobby
– Game List/Player List no longer pops to the
top occasionally
– Player List no longer jumps, etc. making it
difficult to click on a name
– Communicator requests addition of buddy to
both players. Also, incoming messages get a
sound effect
– Spaces in front of games in Game List no
longer allowed
– Game Lists/Player Lists alphabetize in upper
and lower case
– Ping tolerance icon adjustment to make more
useful
– More accuracy in number of players per game in
Game List

Obviously we would prefer to get everything sorted but we’d rather not wait to post a significant patch if we have a lot of stuff fixed up.

We are very aware of the various other issues hanging around and these are not forgotten.

Currently we’re in the testing phase and expect to release the patch tomorrow if all goes well.

Wenn euch die lästige Schlacht im Hintergrund (Hauptmenü) stört dann könnt ihr einfach folgendes machen:

1. Verknüpfung von Generals.exe erstellen (wenn ihr schon eine habt braucht ihr keine machen)
2. In der Befehlszeile bei der Verknüpfung am Ende einfach: -noshellmap anfügen.
(dies sollte dann in etwa so ausehen bei Ziel: „C:ProgrammeEA GAMESCommand and Conquer Generalsgenerals.exe“ -noshellmap)
3. Generals über die Verküpfung starten!

So fertig! Der störende Background sollte nun weg sein 😉

thx @Elmar

Danke an Toby Knoke für die Info

Elmar ein Mitarbeiter von EA/Communityteam hat sich die Mühe gemacht mal eine liste Technischer FAQ zu Generals zu erstellen.

Dear C&C Generals players,

We’ve set up two unique emails to collect data regarding any serious errors or connection to Generals Online problems.

To best address your issues follow the guidelines below:

1. Go into your Start menu and find the All Programs/EA Games/Command and Conquer Generals and click the EAsy System Info. Save info and go to your desktop. Copy and paste this info in the email.

2. This is not a forum for game suggestions, etc. Please send your EAsy info and an exact description of where your problem occurs. The more specific the better.

3. Do not expect an email back from us. This is a data gathering forum. We may ask you questions but we’re just looking for repeatable cases.

Here are the emails:

seriouserror@ea.com

lostconnection@ea.com

Thanks.

Harvard Bonin hat eine Liste für die von Generals [B]nicht[/B] unterstützten Grafikkarten veröffentlicht. Grund dafür ist schlicht der, das diese Grafikkarten keinen DirectX 8.1 Support besitzen.

Dear C&C Generals,

Many players have been asking about a variety of unsupported vid cards. Here is a list of cards we DON’T support. Many of the cards haven’t had updated drivers available for a while – thus they don’t reliably support DX8.1. There is nothing we can do about this. You should contact that particular manufacturer is see if driver updates are available.

– Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Controller
– 3D Prophet 4500 TV Out (Kyro or Kyro 2)
– NVIDIA GeForce 256 or 256 DDR
– voodoo5 5500 AGP
– NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro
– S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR

We’re sorry but the system specs are noted on the box and there’s little we can do if a system is below spec…however unpleasant that is to hear.

Jetzt bleibt euch nur das hoffen dass eure Grafikkarte DirectX 8.1 unterstützt…

Dies berichtet der Chef persönlich, Havard Bonin postete folgendes im offiziellen Generals Board.

Dear C&C Generals players,

Now that 1.1 and 1.2 are behind us its time to start thinking of 1.3. We’ve been very active watching and listening to you all and we appreciate those of you that have helped us figure out some issues.

Patch 1.3 will be designed to address some of the more irritating problems we’ve seen. Here’s a short (tentative) list below…

1. Fix the remaining connectivity issues with firewalls/routers, etc. We got most of them last time but we at least need to provide a reliable workaround for players and at best will provide a patch to fix all the problems. (PS…I’m referring to players entering games and immediately getting the disconnect screen…sometimes games don’t load for all players, etc)

2. Fix QuickMatch as its not reliable at present.

3. Fix the serious error problem.

4. Make clicking on player names in the player list easier.

5. Add a refresh button in the Custom Match lobby.

6. Fix the „lost connection to Generals Online“ issue.

7. Make the „add a buddy“ process much clearer.

8. Fix the innaccurate number of players listed per game in the Custom Match lobby game list.

9. Fix the dupped games in the Custom Match lobby game list.

10. Misc other smaller issues.

Again, thanks for your continued patience. The list above is our current target but it may alter depending on how it goes over the next few days.

Our goal is to get it done this week. We can’t promise a specific day right now but more info will be posted soon.

Thanks again.
