have fun :-)

     Oo! Oo! Thank you, Ross!

It still crashes. Aspyr may eat from my ass.

     Heh, yeah. I stand by my assertion that Aspyr's programming team is a bunch of retarded monkeys. I'm hoping that they actually did fix the problem on their end, which would leave it up to Evill. If that's the case, we can pester him directly, and probably get a fix really fast.

in fact, i pestered both aspyr and evill, and both told me that the prob wasn't on their end. (omg maybe it doesn't crash at all, and it's just me hallucinating?)

 :-[

quickly checked the update over lunchtime ...

some nice features:

- indicates who's ready and who not
- indicates player's ping
- binoculars as default equipment (press "L")
- slightly better post-battle stats
- exiting a GR hosted game quits GhR

less nice:

- minimap/soldiersheet fucked (ie. skewed) on my monitor (23")
- still crashes

does the 1.4 patch mean that we can play island thunder on mac? that would be schweat...

it mostly certainly does not abe

Since Island Thunder works as mod it should work with a Mac once you were able to run the installer on a VPC or PC and transfer the files(but no promise).

Bye,

Mauti

thanks mauti,
thats what i was hoping...
does anyone how the installer works on pc (is it an .exe file, do u need a pc version of ghr to install?)?
it would be cool if mac users could, for once, play somthing that was released less than two years ago on pc. i just hope this wont lead to the same circus on GR as the black thorn port....
if anyone attepts the conversion, please post if worked. from what ive seen of island thunder it looked pretty cool. thanks

This patch is really great for the server side. The server controls are a lot better now, and the kick/ban features are great. The client side update was also nice, and everyone seems to be getting a general performance boost. The one thing that got worse is GameRanger joining, but IP joining is solid as ever.

if that works mauti im doing it to Bf 1942 :D :D :D :)

Hey Guys!

I have a problem and i hope u can help me. I downloaded the patch on www.versiontracker.com. Now when i want to update, it says something like my ghr version is incorrect or has allready been updated (but its the version 1.0!!!)

Is there anybody who has this problem or am I just too stoned?  ;D

thx for ur answers

greets from switzerland

Absalon,

Flies has made an "how-to-update-in-OS9" thread on the ViRuS-site:

http://www.virus-clan.org/v_org_php/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=144

This problem occurs only in OS9, updating in OSX is no problem at all ;)

Goodluck,
Dutchman / ViRuS

Absalon just insert your Ghost REcon CD start installing(into a new directory). Abort after 10 seconds extract the Ghost Recon application and replace your older one. Now delete the new created Ghost REcon directory and run the updater! - Now it should work fine.

Bye,

Mauti

Lol thx for your help. But the problem is, that i tried to update in OSX and the text came up (strange eh?) I try in OS9 now...

thx and nice weekend

Same should work for MacOSX.

Haha Casper, I sure as hell hope you're joking ;)

I've actually had a quite dramatic slowdown since upgrading - on my 867/Ti600/1.5gig RAM G4 I've had to take the graphics DOWN a few notches to keep the game playable.

As for Island Thunder, I just picked it up today - it does require you to have a PC version of Ghost Recon installed to run the installer, but you can see the data files on the CD which are in .cab format - and I'm just trying to open them up manually...I'll report back later if I succeed.

Toby

I actually had the exact same problem when trying to update, and was also in OSX.  I couldn't seem to find the source of the problem, but it worked fine after I reinstalled GhR (only need to replace the application, as Mauti mentioned).  Try that, see if it works for you as well.

Cobra

Well , here's my update on my efforts to install island Thunder - I can't get those .cab files open at all. I've tried downloading a bunch of .cab extracting utilities into VPC5 but none work - they see the data files as invalid .cab formats. I've tried cabextract, zipitfast, winzip, stuffit (both pc and Mac), and ICEOWS...but none of them work. Can anyone suggest a PC extracting utility that might work?

I should add that I'm using Windows 98...

Thanks

Toby

Toby you could ask Cocobolo to send you his Ghost Recon app that should be enough to fake the installer. If not transfer your mac ghost recon files to your pc and replace the Mac GR app with the PC one ;)

Bye,

Mauti

this is all you need to do. Sniper had the same problem and this is how i talked him through it. Take ur ghost recon folder and drag it to the desktop. dbl. click the updater and make sure that the path is correct, updateing the game on ur desktop. Hit continue....and now ur updateing.

good luck.
