Darkest Hour: Normandy 1944

[Fuhrer Cool]

Hey guys! (Best update ever btw, Schreck ftw). I had a few questions.

1. Will the client files installer have the same problem as MN were it stops halfway through for some and is impossible to install and you must download the server files and extra textures with it, or are you using a different installer?

2. Also, what model Panzerschreck is that?

Can't wait great work!!!!!!!

 

[Aeneas2020]

we're not using the same installer as MN but i was unaware of that problem. We'll make sure as best we can that it doesn't happen. As for the moving video stuff we're working on a final trailer now.

 

[D3terioNation]

Would love to see the shrek or zooka in action!! Please include that in the trailer

 

[Monkwarrior]

Great news !
I suggest making 2 files:
1) a normal installer
2) a zip-file with the same content without an installer

Monk.

 

[Fuhrer Cool]

Ok great hope it works! I simply can't wait to play this, I don't know what to do!!!

With the radioman feature and the Bazooka/Panzerschreck reloading system, this will force players into working as a team and make gameplay so much better than RO.

 

[IVIARSHALL]

lookin forward ^^

or just make it a hundredfold more irritating to play on public servers.

Definately won't be irritating... if people won't help you then your team is at a loss, you will just have to find more means of destroying tanks.

Im sure with VOIP and this system the majority will be willing to help. Try not to be so negative.

or just make it a hundredfold more irritating to play on public servers.

It's like giving you MGer ammo in game hardly a burden plus it stops people a) grabbing all the fausts to fire at people or not at tanks and b) stops people firing fausts wildly like mortars towards spawns.

 

[Nilsson]

Will there still be a class with Panzerfaust or will they only be Fausts in Boxes. Will Players are able to carry 3 Fausts or are you going to change this?

 

[ExoCet-NAW]

What we have ATM is when Axis are up against Brits or Canadians, Axis Use the Faust's and Brits/Cannuks use the Piat.

When Axis Are against Americans, they use the Schrek's and Ami's use Bazooka's. It then balances the weapons a bit so each has similar uses and one side is not at a disadvantage.

Darkest Hour: 2 Weeks Until D-Day

With only a couple of weeks to go until DH is made public our devs are hard at work. While last minute bugs continue to rear their ugly heads the DH team is working around the clock to make sure the first beta of DH is as near perfect as we can manage. In the mean time though we are pleased to be showing you another little teaser. The content featured in this months press release will be featured in patches after the initial release of the mod.
First up Protector who joined us last month has produce as truly stunning texture for Tman's .50cal model (featured in our last press release). The .50 will be added to the US Tanks to help give them some punch against the German AT crews.

Darkest Hour: Penultimate Update Pre Release
This is the Penultimate update before the release, next week, of our first Darkest Hour Beta 1. We would like to thank everyone who have given us support over the months and we hope you enjoy playing Darkest Hour. We have a few details to go over in this release before bringing you another existing peak next week before the release.

Server Files:
As many of you know the server side files will be handed out to those who applied starting on May 31st. This should be a quick and efficient process of handing out links and passwords to the people who expressed an interest however it should also be noted that anyone experiencing problems setting up the server is more than welcome to contact myself (Aeneas2020) or Exocet on the DH forums at anytime for additional support.

Darkest Hour Patch and Update Policy:
Following the Beta 1 the developers will be striving to polish Darkest Hour into a final product. With this in mind please be aware that this release is still a Beta so rough edges and bugs may exist however we are dedicated to fixing them (there will be a known bug list included with the client release). We will be releasing bug fix patches and new content regularly. We will ensure that we make every effort to inform you about upcoming patches and make them easy to install. Our first two content patches are already planned, the first coming shortly after release 1 will add new maps that just missed release and any major bug fixes needed. The second will include new vehicles for both sides and continue to upgrade DH as a whole.

St Mere Eglise Night & Day:
Sadly one map that will not making release 1 is the aforementioned St Mere Eglise level. This is due to a last minute bug that caused significant game play problems with both the map and the parachute code. This does mean that the parachute system will not be in release 1. However both maps and the parachute system will be released within a week or two of release once the issues are ironed out. We felt it was necessary to delay getting this system to you so it would be working perfectly rather than delaying the entire release. As stated before please be patient the wait will not be a long one.

Darkest Hour Manual:
Finally thanks to the tireless efforts of our dev team (particularly Harvey) we are pleased to offer the Darkest Hour Manual for download. This document is full of facts and information about Darkest Hour including how to install, how to set up a server and how to use new content. You can download the Manual from the following places:

[Aeneas2020]

Sorry for that mistake if you find any others let us know but thanks for the kind words so far.

 

[Nestor Makhno]
