Friday! Warhawk v1.1 Patch…

+ Posted by Dylan Jobe // Game Director, Warhawk

Just wanted to make a quick post to let everyone know that the Warhawk v1.1 patch will be deployed world-wide on Friday, November 2nd, during an extended maintenance window between 5am and 9am Pacific.

Some of you were able to download the v1.1 patch before it was “officially” ready. Since this occurred without the server-side updates to complement it, not all of the fixes would have functioned. Specifically, the viral-rank-up fix and the time-in-vehicle stat fix. Once we bring the system back online Friday, 9am Pacific, these fixes will be functional.

Also, once we deploy the patch, when you boot Warhawk, you will be prompted by the XMB to download the v1.1 patch. This is a fast download so it’s not a time killer. Once the XMB has pulled the patch down, Warhawk will boot back up and be happy! You will also notice a “v1.1″ in the lower right corner of the screen.

So, we’ll be monitoring the roll-out tomorrow and this weekend so please check the forums for more info!

Oh…one last thing, if you want to see the list of stuff in the v1.1 patch hit this link.

Other forums suggest that once successfully patched, we should be able to access the game, though not online. It would appear that some, myself included, are having a less than successful time of it.

Any official word Dylan?

i think the problem for uk gamers is with the downloaded version. if you look at the details for the game (pre-patch), it will give your name as the ‘owner’. look at it after 1.1 patch and it shows no ‘owner’. as you can only start the game on the ‘owner’ account, the game does not start.
don’t see how the servers coming back online can sort this out cos the game can’t even start. seems to me they need to sort the patch out so that it doesn’t strip the game of its owners rights.
the words ‘big’ and ‘c**k-up’ spring to mind.
sony need to sort this out today, maybe they forgot we actually gave them money for this game!!!

Listen to you people… Xbox live goes down for days at a time sometimes when the update. This game goes down for 3 hours and you act like a bunch of Crotch Sticks over it. Let it go, I’m sure Incog and Sony are both working on a solution to the problem here. Hell, if there even is one to begin with… The real problem is the lack of “JET PACKS” in the game “ha” Back to topic now… “looks around”

I think the Jetpac Idea sounds cool. I also think if there was some kind of ATV/Motorcycle would also be cool. Plus a Hovercraft/HoverBoat would also be cool.

Also it says that Clan support can now go up to 64. So does that mean that future maps will allow up to 64 players in the game. If so that would mean the maps would have to be a lot bigger and that would be pretty cool.

I will be downloading soon, thanks Incognito. If there is any downloadable content I won’t be able to buy anything since I don’t have a credit card, so Dylan if you are reading, PLEASE tell sony to get out the Playstation Cards. Every time I ask for them in the PSN updates I am never answered. Thanks

Can we possibly look forward to some in game messaging, Dyl? It’s a little of a hastle to give my friend room info and what not when we both start up our game. I know there’s the ‘join friend’ but I really think many others would appreciate a messaging feature. I don’t know if you know this already but we hate having to go back to the XMB to say something :( Since Sony isn’t helping any with not having in-game XMB can you possibly make a chat feature for us in your game? Maybe even poke Sony?

Loving the game and having a blast,
Gregero

@ 72

And don’t forget those “JET PACKS” … C’mon now. Just think, not everyone has to have one. they could be a pick up or delt with like a vechicle. They could be hung up inside your base or something. Man, the times we could have with Jet Pack fights. You could have total control over your guns and lob gernades from the air. I ponder.

@Loucifer: “LOL…whatever i gave up on this mess already…too little too late”

You are just such an invaluable source of substantial feedback. Unfortunately, too little too late…

Glad to know that there will be one less donkey [insert synonym here] to have to listen to crying about how bad they stink.

@Devs:

Keep up the great work guys! Glad to know that there are some developers out there that actually care about keeping their customer base happy; fixing issues, introducing enhancements, providing info directly to the users… unlike some others out there UbiSoft …

lol @ post 49 & Loucifer in general.

That was an awesome idea to come up w/ Jet packs, gamesblow- and w/ enough repetition and persuasion, maybe they can be looked at as an add-on… (Why not use the Sixaxis for trajectory, if you know what I mean…)

Are the ranks going to go back to normal. like the one on top i’ve been demot to wing man from Brigadier General. is that suppose to happen man i don’t like that it at all not kool what happen makes me don’t want to play no more.

gamesblow  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 4:49 am

Oh, the jet pack idea would be super sweet… As would the bike idea. See, with the bikes you could have a side cart on some of them, so another teammate could hop in and shoot and stuff for you. C’mon, Dylan… these are decent ideas. Imagine the chaos that could ensue!!!

gamesblow  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 5:27 am

Also, people keep saying you can’t add any weapons cause the braket is full. Well, the solution to that would be give the wepaons a class system. > Machine gun, Sniper Rifle and lets say you add a shot gun… Make them take up the same block. So you can only carry 1 of said class of weapon. You can collect knives from people you kill with the knive only, thus adding to your available knives to throw. Lots can be done with this game still and keep it balanced.

Does this update reset all of our stats?
Because I downloaded the update just barely today, I played a few games and I noticed my rank is barely at Airman 1st Class when it was way higher before. I even still had the flames on my jet when I was playing, so I’m a little confused…
Any help on the matter?

gamesblow  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 12:36 pm

Warhawks are kind of unrealistic… if you think about it. Jetpacks are actually real. They’re a good idea, if you put them into the right context. They would be way weaker than the warhawks, for 1. They’d be faster and more unforgiving when you crash or hit something. You could use your weapons in the air and lob grenades. They’d be a great add on for the game, man.

silentmatt  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 2:26 pm

Yeah, so problems:
-my rank went WAY below where it should be (down to Airman 1st Class). I have 8037 points, not counting badges or medals, which should put me at least around Wingman (which is, supposedly, awarded at 5000).
-I have had MORE server disconnects and errors since installing the patch
-The game actually muted itself while playing today. I had to restart my PS3 to get sound to output again.

greyham  |  November 3rd, 2007 at 4:56 pm

The leaderboard is topped off with players over a million points. What the hell? I don’t care how good you are, you can’t possibly get that many points playing this game legit since launch. The top player rank (General) takes 250,000 points to get. If you’re an honest player in this game you’re screwed. It’ll take players well over a year to get that many points, unless they cheat or play CTF only 24/7. This game is losing it’s luster fast.

Bah, play to have fun… why do you have to be the best there is? It’s a game and we play to have fun “atleast I do” I love coming in 5th and 6th and when the sun shines on my A** I love to come in 1st. It don’t matter to me what rank I am as long as I’m having fun playing. I have fun playing, by the way.

For me the patch is better, because i can get in games that say 31 out of 32 players. So no problems there, but i seemed like i dropped more ranks than i should have. I like the patch but hope another one comes out to help all the other ppl, who are complaining.
