An even more important question: has anyone cracked the patched executable yet? No matter how much they improve the framerates, I still would like a no-CD version.

It’s kind of funny how I don’t consider the patch to be officially out until the corresponding crack appears on Game Copy World. :)

Anyone else playing this one online? CTF is totally old hat, but the Realwar mode is quite fun.

They aren’t kidding about a very significant increase in framerate. It used to be pretty chunky, maybe around 15 fps in large areas and battles. Post-patch it is smooth everywhere. I’m no good at estimating this kind of thing, but around 40 or 50 fps? Is there a frame counter in this thing?

I wish publishers could just take a hint and save us all the fucking hassle of cd-checks.

Post-patch it is smooth everywhere.

Were you using the no-CD crack? And you still saw an increase? And were you in the shit?

I wasn’t using the no-CD crack before. And yeah, I was in the shit.

VC Realwar is basically BF42 conquer. It seems to be more fun for me in VC. I like all the hiding spots!

Hit ` for console then ‘showfps 1’
