It would also be surprising to see them restore online functionality with just partial disassembly. Yeah, I had the same with Red Faction 2, except - new patch is not increasing FOV, the game scaling is just like my old widescreen hack Vert-, except my old hack didn't cause any issues with terrain rendering, so it must be something new they added - might be some functions they patched they assumed were for UI scaling, but values were used more broadly (possibly something like reading a variable embedded in a structure and they just overrode the way such variables are being loaded - would potentially explain why there are some reports of sensitivity being lower in vehicles as well).īut then, that'd still imply they don't have a source code and whilst the functions and calls are utter mess in new executable, many changes seem to actually point that they do and just didn't do a clean release build. Thankfully Jackfuste found some LOD variable using assembler, or whatever he uses, that was directly tied to the FOV and fixed the issue. I remember when I was working on my Chrome patch, increasing FOV for widescreen also messed up the LOD. As it turns out, while some of the new scaling behaviours are indeed good (especially when it comes to menus), they seemed to have unintentionally broken the draw distance. While not mentioned in patch notes, it seems steps were taken to negate issues with vehicle physics glitching out when running the game above 60fps - but a more in-depth testing is required. Finally the patch also reworks widescreen support, as the previous 'hack' introduced on Jwas quite questionable at best (something I wrote about on my GitHub blog).

New patch also adds French, Italian, German, Spanish languages to choose from and improves audio using OpenAL.

While the switch from long dead Gamespy to GOG Galaxy is very much appreciated, it's not the only change made. Today (May 1, 2020) both GOG and Steam versions of original Star Wars: Battlefront (not the EA's one) got updated to a version numbered simply as 1.3.5 (4). Players who did not want to pay to unlock the games lootboxes, which. The game was released on November 17, 2017, and was heavily criticized by early adopters for its loot box system, calling it a 'pay-to-win' system, due to its close tie to multiplayer progression. And so, with issues fixed, all seems this is now objectively the best available version of the game. Star Wars Battlefront II is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person and shooter game in the Star Wars: Battlefront series. It also came with additional fixes related to potential crashes that occurred while loading maps (most often reported when loading maps Naboo and Genosis). Your display may appear to squish horizontally if you select a widescreen. A patch numbered 1.3.6.4 was released and with it an issue of terrain rendering was again fixed. The System Analyzer in the Star Wars Battlefront II launcher requires DirectX.
