1.12B is out.

RE-Edited :Its 1.12a for Vista users.

Well ain't you behind the times :D

1.12b?

1.11a?

Diff between 1.12a and 1.12b? (besides "a letter")

1.12a, IIRC was run through the MS compiler's optimizer - the FPS -were- better, too, but sadly the optimizer screwed up the RWR (at the least) and there was a lot of RWR ghosting going on.

Wasn't that 1.12?

Maybe. I don't remember too well; and it may have been that 1.12=1.12a. Anyway, something like that happened.

When did this patch come out? Should I install this over 1.12a?

It replaced 1.12a, IIRC 1.12a shouldn't even be available any more.

I'm pretty sure that 1.12a was the fix for the RWR ghosting in 1.12. Otherwise no need for a letter.

I'm pretty sure I've had 1.12b forever ... anyway, I'll check later.

So does anyone know actually what's the diffrence between 1.12a & 1.12b ?

Im still on 1.12a so whats this patch about? do I need to install it? and can I get any more confused?

When did this patch come out? Should I install this over 1.12a?

It was released today http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?end_pos=3&scr=newslist&lang=en and since it's the latest patch I guess you're better off by installing it. However I don't know whether mods and tracks etc. are compatible with it, so maybe you should try a standalone install, if it's possible.

Yeah Prophet. I'm confused.

This looks like the bugfix list for 1.12a.

Obviously I suffered a sudden onset of mental retardation - but anyway - what is this patch, a Vista Compatibility fix? That's what it's looking like to me?

They've renamed web based addon download to: LOCK ON 1.1b: Flaming Cliffs, hmm...

So it's all just about adding Vista compatibility?

advanced model of guidance limitations for Air to Air Missiles with precise tuning,

Here is one good reason to get it

Me too, I was expecting some "urgent" multiplayer "touches" :)

Strange thing is, the installer talks about 1.12a and includes the 1.12a readme?

I compared 1.12a readme and 1.12b readme. Looks like the difference is Vista compatibility only.

Im lost...I downloaded 1.12a again not more than 8 horus ago after trying to fix my zoom issue...

ok nvm...since im updated to latest anyways..dont need to download it.

Nice of ED to keep us in the loop....

SO.... Wot is this new patch?? Do we all need to get it, or what?

If ED would offer all of us a Russian language course, things would be easier.

Anyway, Yall wont see me for a week online, as Im attending a funeral in Liverpool next week. I'll be back fifth of May.
