Treyarch Announces Patch 1.7

[Kodakk]

JD_2020, the community manager for Treyarch, has recently announced that the developer is currently working a 1.7 patch for Call of Duty: World at War. The patch is designed to tie up many loose ends in the PC version of the game, and is said to include the following changes:

• Fixed a voice chat crash on systems with no default recording device selected
• Fixed an issue causing erroneous duplicate qport errors
• Server admins can disable team switching by setting g_allow_teamchange to 0. Players will be restricted to Auto-Assign in team-based gametypes

I just wanted to pass along some good news - the PC team expects QA to send through approvals for the patch in the coming days. As you know, there's still Linux & Steam requirements; but we're in good shape for a release sometime next week.

The patch is great news for World at War players, and it truly shows Treyarch's dedication toward improving the PC experience as much as possible. No release date is confirmed as of yet, so make sure you stay updated on TGN!

Thanks to Expletive Deleted for finding this!

I'm all over it, baby.

JD_2020 also had this to say about rumors that TreyArch's next CoD game might not come to PC:

Hey guys,

Treyarch is a huge advocate of PC gaming - please don't jump to any conclusions prematurely based on hearsay.

Thanks,
-JD

That's in response to this post on the www.callofduty.com forums:

By the Looks of this us poor Pc owns are not going to be get CoD 7

So I don't think their intent is to follow IW's example with IW Net. Of course, we won't know for sure until around 10 NOV 2010. IW waited until just three weeks before MW2's release to drop the bombs(plural) on us, so it's best to just way and see.

Off-topic: When did "owns" replace owners in internet vernacular? I've been seeing it left and right for about a year now, it seems... Are humans really that lazy? Wait, don't answer that...

its kinda cool that treyarch and IW both work on COD games. the other one doesn't get tied down to another game and can develop patches and release them in a timely manner.

I hope to god Treyarch don't follow what those IW twats have done.

Thanks for the good support Treyarch.

Please also fix people teamswitching at the end of the round to get win points!

Wasn't there a rumour of new maps in v1.7?

Oh, by the way...

Rep?




Plz?




No, I'm not bored at all...

[Kodakk]

I thought Crunch rep'd you, did he not?

/OT + Rep

No, Crunch repped me for the POTD. I got two in one day. Rare for me, I know.

But I'm pretty happy to see that WaW isn't going to be completely dropped. I still like it a lot now that most things have been fixed, and this patch should make it so more people can actually play the game they bought.

Continued support for the win.

[DHoff]

I hope they do not ditch cod 7 for pc.

I've always been thinking about picking up a copy of WaW, is it worth it now with MW2 since Treyarch seem to be continuing their support?

It's a fun game, especially the SP, but I didn't like the MP as much as CoD4, though many may disagree. I wouldn't necessarily say it's worth it anymore though.

[Minmaster]

its okay, not as good as the MW games. i got in on it when they had the 24.99 sale few months ago. i didn't play it much and probably won't either now that MW2 is out.

Looks like they pushed it back another week.

Reintroduce the epic bi-pod system they had which they so foolishly removed for a reason I still don't quite understand what convinced them.
