Hi all,

As the patch draws nearer, I wanted to post a more comprehensive list of what we’ve been working on for Patch 1.4.

3 new Multiplayer maps: Kneedeep, Nightfire, Station!
Nazi Zombies map with more weapons, Perks-a-Cola machines, and electroshock defenses: Verrückt!
Improved spawning logic.
Auto balancing improvements. Players are no longer auto balanced while completing objectives.
Mods: IWD’s can be placed in the usermaps folder.
Mods: Hold Breath / Sprint functions as intended.
Mods: MissingAssets.csv is generated when maps are run with developer set to 1.
Fixed lag caused by shooting at tanks.
All rifle grenades fired during the first 15 seconds of Search & Destroy will be duds.
Players who equip a Bouncing Betty and melee teammates in Hardcore game modes are now credited with a team kill penalty.
Players are now deducted 200 points for team killing the bomb planter/defuser in Hardcore Search & Destroy.
Martyrdom no longer causes direct impact deaths in Hardcore modes.
“Bayonet jumping” has been disabled.
Additionally, you’ll be happy to know that Map Pack 1 will be completely free for PC users, and included in the Patch 1.4 installer!

The release of this Patch & DLC is still TBD at this time. I intend to release an ETA when we have settled on one – your patience is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
-JD

Make sure that you have the latest versions of a custom map BEFORE going onto a custom server that you KNOW AND TRUST. I archive the custom maps into self installing exe files. Too many times have I put on an updated version of a custom map onto my server, expecting that the redirect will take care of those players that haven't yet got the updated map files but NO!! - they get the blackscreen followed by the Windows must close error - and to top it off, they now get a departing gift of Duplicate Qport error when they TRY to reconnect :S

With the release yesterday of Zeroy's Argentan map, not only do you now have a custom map that far exceeds any map - stock or custom - seen in CoDWW, you now have to edit your usermaps folder - you have to delete enough map folders to get under the material assets limit.

If you have TOO MANY custom maps with a load.ff file, you will be using TOO MANY material assets, and you will get the "2048 material assets exceeded" error - you will not be able to join the server.

I had over 30 maps in my usermaps folder - its now down to 17 of the best maps plus a couple of favorites.

For XP users - copy this script and paste it into your Run field after clicking on your Start button - hit enter and Explorer will open up to your hidden usermaps folder.

For Vista users - use this script to get to your hidden usermaps folder:

I don't have an agenda here, but here is my list of maps that I consider worth saving:

mp_506th
mp_akushima
mp_ambush
mp_argentan
mp_beltot
mp_blood_island
mp_foy
mp_gtown44
mp_hunt
mp_marsh
mp_matmata
mp_mohaa_dv
mp_myths_farm
mp_sabre
mp_stalemate
mp_waw_burgundy


I run the Ace 5.2 mod and to solve the 2048 assets error, I had to bring my map count down to 22 - I took it further to give some room for the coming custom maps.
