Rise of the Reds Release: Patch 1.802 Options

[The_Hunter]

Greetings, ROTR fans.

After the release of our much anticipated Version 1.8, many of you have provided their feedback and reported bugs.
In order to gather these helpful information in a more organised manner and allow you, our fans and followers, to contribute your own efforts to the project, we have opened the Public Beta Testing Forum which gave you access to our latest internal trial versions. This helped us to eliminate a great number of bugs, tweak the game and make a few other neat little additions. We'd like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who provided us with their input, for today we are presenting you the result of the most recent testing session: The official Rise of the Reds Patch 1.802.



And while you wait for the download to complete, you can check out our change log here:

[X1Destroy]

Great... I can finally test the new igla trooper now.

BTW, do we have to uninstall the test build?

you technicly don't have to but the test build is now old and obsolete and no longer required.

[Nemanja]

This came like lightning from cloudless sky,
thanks,now I'm gonna go testing it

[X1Destroy]

The firing sound of the igla smg is awesome Compare to the medic click click sound, it goes boom boom boom

[Warpath]

Hell yeah!!! Now we wait for 2.0.

[JamBai]

Hell yeah!!! Now we wait for 2.0.

Don't forget about 1.82!

[Shatterfury]

Nice update but what about JM`s rounds that do a fuckton of damage against buildings and what about JM`s speed, it moves as slow as a Sentinel.

[JamBai]

By the way this has been bugging me for few days and i guess it's a bit off-topic, i have been wondering about the current existing General powers and which Generals gets what? i know these atleast!

VDV airdrop is for Orlov
Oil Sabotage for Sulaymaan
Rebel Ambush for Yusuuf
Bulldog turret for Willem
ECM Burst for Jin
Airborne Raid for Thorn(unsure)
Harrier Strike for Charles(unsure)

so i am wondering about the rest of the Rank 3 powers

-Twinfang now gains horde bonus

Is it a mistype or Horde bonus affects Fangs?

[The_Hunter]

Is it a mistype or Horde bonus affects Fangs?

not a mistype and this has been in the the test builds since the very first one.

[Knjaz.]

K. Under propaganda they kill stuff so quickly, so additional ROF doesn't change that much, I guess.

[wargame10]

[Comr4de]

Gents this is not to be confused with 1.82 -- this is 1.802

[__CrUsHeR]

Gents this is not to be confused with 1.82 -- this is 1.802

Nooooooooooooo!!! I want the version 2.0!

[Chuck Kawosky]

So its:

Rotr 1.8 then just install 1.802 and thats it?

Or do you have to uninstall previous patches like 801 and Beta Test build 2?

Uninstall the test build and install 1.802.
you cannot uninstall 1.801 nor do you need to as the 1.802 files will simply overwrite and replace those

[Mr.Kim]

Nooooooooooooo!!! I want the version 2.0!

Unless you have to wait about 10 months.

[X1Destroy]

Unless you have to wait about 10 months.

It's nothing compared to that 2 and half a years waiting for a single update of 1.7 back then. Almost everyone thought the mod was dead due to long inactivity.

Bah 10 months is nothing! I will wait for years if i have to!

[TornadoADV]

Okay, now where do I put the files?

[Basilisx]

^
The installer finds in most cases your installation for you. Otherwise look for your Zer Hour main directory.

[Jester]

New Viper and Commanche are awesome! Great job guys.

[TheCeLL]

Does this mean no more public beta test builds?
