To be honest.. patches sometimes mess the game up.
The fixes for SP are quite pointless to me, therefore, I would consider installing it if the "hardcore mode" is effective in SP too.
I've read about it on ubi's and as far as I understood, HC mode was effective for MP only :(
Anyone knows if its good for SP as well?

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 10:37:56 AM

your an absolute star *****
cheers

even harder level - - - bring it on ;D

will let you know asap tonight if it kills install or if it all A o.k.

Art Blade · June 03, 2009, 10:53:24 AM

Hardcore is MP only, requested by MP gamers, to my knowledge.

JRD · June 03, 2009, 11:00:51 AM

Thanks... so no patch for me :(
Don't want to risk having a new bug while trying to fix something doesn't bothers me at all ;)

Art Blade · June 03, 2009, 11:02:02 AM

same here. They didn't say a thing about connectivity, so my problem (unable to connect) will remain.

DKM2 · June 03, 2009, 11:04:13 AM

I went home for lunch after 12 and fired up the game, no update.
I wonder how this will bust up the MP servers people run,
most use the custom extender (3rd party) and a new interface is going to break it.

Dweller_Benthos · June 03, 2009, 11:11:26 AM

I'm not finding any no CD patches for it yet, so I don't see any need considering what they fixed in SP.

from what i seen on another aboard, people say its included in the patch. dunno.

Dweller_Benthos · June 03, 2009, 11:21:31 AM

That they have removed the CD check? I doubt that.

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 11:44:49 AM

didnt read it properly, thought difficulty was for both, never mind, its installed and the cab is just aout to drop me off in Pala,,,

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 11:57:04 AM

workin fine so far, had a scary minute or two when it didnt seem to get signal keyboard but sorted itself out

Hacko · June 03, 2009, 12:00:21 PM

I fired up the game and it downloaded and installed ok. It doesn't do much for the SP side, but I am installing so that I can play MP when I want. :-X

still need the DVD?

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 12:10:54 PM

managed to boot game uo and load last save with no disc, lets hope it lasts...

Hacko · June 03, 2009, 12:11:43 PM

Yup, mine asks for the DVD.

DKM2 · June 03, 2009, 12:16:06 PM

LOL, so the score is 1 to 1 on the no disk game.

Art Blade · June 03, 2009, 12:19:33 PM

Bets, anyone? ;D

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 12:33:47 PM

actually did re-start on pc, then disc clean up followed by defrag, another system restart and game still runs without disc.

Installed is the game,intel missions, DLC pack, patch 1.02 and 1.03. and thats it, no changes / cheats on profile.
my game system is NOT connected to the net incase that makes a difference to SP games ?

DKM2 · June 03, 2009, 06:43:42 PM

okay, Since installing the patch, I no longer need the DVD in the drive! SP or MP. :-X

Hacko · June 03, 2009, 07:00:07 PM

I take back what I said above, I CAN play it without the DVD in, since the new patch. I have Vista and didn't have my shortcut setup right. :-[

Art Blade · June 03, 2009, 07:11:03 PM

cool...

Hacko, is there a new option "hardcore" for SP, regarding difficulty level? My information is that it is only for MP.

RedRaven · June 03, 2009, 07:46:00 PM

hardcore is already in SP, still the same 4 options
(easy / normal / hardcore / infamous)
