Hi guys
Just wondering if it might be better NOT to suggest using the beta patch (in fact, state not to and only use 1.62) due to the issue with the VON port being moved in beta 95061 (I think), which means that those using that beta or higher can't talk (although can hear) those using a lower beta.
I know we've been using TS3 lately to get round that problem, although that has it's own issues of not being able to see who's talking. Mind you, I asked BE support if the TS3 Overlay is safe to use and they replied "yes, right now you can use it without problems on BE servers." so I'm going to give that a go and see how well it works.
Was also wondering if you've considered using the Digital Compass mod (or similar) as it's pretty handy having it show precise co-ordinates for calling out contacts? On the Project Reality servers they use a mod that shows it down the bottom, like "300 WNW" but I haven't been able to find out what mod that is, so perhaps it's a custom job.
Also, I find that the CWR mod messes with the start menu and makes the ACE config not work. If I wait until I'm in game and open it, it's OK there but it would be nice to be able to use it before then. I was wondering if there's a particular file that I could remove from the CWR folder to just disable the start menu modification without causing any other problems?
