Fixes/Additions:


Crash after certain Crayven mission (13 and 15 most common) fixed
"Unable to read data from cutscenes.sdf (or music.sdf)" and "Your system is low on resources, please reboot." are fixed. If you got those error messages earlier, it is a good idea to clean up your computer. Remove unused files, empty recycle bin and defrag your harddrive.
Better sound support under Win2k
Mouse cursor restored correctly on multi monitor computers
Swapping the mouse buttons in Windows will swap the mouse buttons in GC as well
More squad names
Option for stuttering cutscenes in high resolutions - run it in normal size instead of fullscreen.
Added Team chat, sending to EVERYONE in your team, regardless of chat filter settings, using SHIFT + .
"Select all squads of already selected type", CTRL + SELECT ALL SQUADS. This means that any squads that AREN'T selected, that are of the same type as any squads that ARE selected, will become selected. Squads of unique types (that you only have one instance of) that ARE selected will not be affected.
Added "quick drop" keys, for instant drop of any dropship at the first dropzone.
Supporting special weapon and equipment use for multiple squads at once, PROVIDED that the squads have the same type of special weapon and / or equipment. The highest charge count will be displayed, but only squads with charges remaining will use their weapon / equipment.
Added server configuration info to the team info screen (TAB).
Internet Standard games already in progress is now displayed in the View Games list.
Fixed the error message when trying to connect to a Internet Drop-in game that has crashed.

Yeh i had a couple of games, before my pc went back to Evesham for a m/b and cpu upgrade, and i thought that the inbalance that some peps have moaned about has now swung the other way. I'll give it a thorough going through when i get my pc back, and let yers know for sure :)

I've always found that the most annoying whore of a unit was the Cray Rocket tank. They've done *nothing* to that, but they've seriously weakened the Order. Life is soo unfair.

Ah, now i have heard this of the rocket tank, however i only ever seem to make it work in the single player missions. I've always found its armour too weak in multiplay, but then i have been away from mp for quite awhile :)

Just stick a load of heavy/med tanks in front of it. Blocks the incoming, but it fires over the top.

Plus at the rate that it chews through armour, it'll kill anything that attacks it first.

bah

you should see the templars, 8 rockets )2 squads) chews through everything instantly.

A squad of infantry will kill them in seconds though.

Or one arty shell, or one 'special', or even just a couple of volleys from a tank group.

They're powerful, but very very fragile.

indeed, which is why the shield was so useful to me :(
