Version 1.06.15 - Maintenance Update

Released:                                                                                                                March 07, 2000

This update addresses a glitch in climbing ladders, a problem with server side chat, and an issue with weather names in the Mission Editor. Graphic problems with female characters and ghillie suits have been fixed.

Version 1.06.14 - Fixed Weapon Emplacements and More

Released:                                                                                                                March 03, 2000

This latest update to Delta Force 2 enables fixed-machine gun and grenade launcher emplacements which can be manned by players. To use a fixed weapon, simply run up to it and you'll take control of it. You'll start each game with two good-sized magazines of ammo for whatever fixed weapons are available in the mission; once these are empty, you'll need to head to the armory and click "Request Weapons" to get more. To disengage from a fixed weapon and resume regular control, move backward while turning to either side. At the moment, fixed weapon emplacements are available in NovaWorld games of Attack & Defend and Search & Destroy. You'll also be able to place fixed weapons in your own games with the Mission Editor and host them online. The new update also makes quite a few fixes and improvements to the game, including: Text message macros have been added In Capture the Flag and FlagBall games, a flag sitting motionless for 3.5 minutes will automatically be returned to its original location. Variable scope magnification (use the "E" key to cycle through magnification levels) Greatly improved movement on ladders Communications code has been refined to speed connection to NovaWorld and improve game performance. The ghillie suit bug has been fixed; soldiers wearing ghillie suits no longer disappear at 60+ meters.

Version 1.04.26

Released:                                                                                                             January 06, 2000

Search and Destroy Now Available on NovaWorld A new game type, Search and Destroy, is now available NovaWorld's servers. The object of this team-oriented game is to infiltrate the other team's territory and destroy specific targets -- before the enemy can do the same to you. Note: You'll need to be sure your team includes demolitions experts carrying satchel charges to destroy enemy buildings. Enemy vehicles may be destroyed with satchel charges or LAW rockets. There goes the neighborhood! New Tournament Servers Added A dedicated set of new tournament servers has been added to NovaWorld. These games will be reserved for tournament use according to the schedule listed on the NovaWorld Web Site at www.novaworld.com. While not in tournament use, these games will be available as regular NovaWorld games.

Version 1.04.19

Released:                                                                                                          December 20, 1999

New Voice-Over-Net Feature We're excited to introduce hands-free Voice Activation (VOX) to Delta Force 2. You can enable VOX in the VON settings menu screen. Now your mike is always live and the push-to-talk key is push-to-mute. Kill Count Fix We've fixed a counter-rollover problem on the kill count. The counter no longer rolls over after 255 kills. New Network Code We've worked on the network code to get rid of problems caused by lost or late packets. Screen Resolution We have removed 1024 x 768 resolution from the menu selection, but this option is still available for Power Users via the config file. Proxy Server Support We now have limited Proxy Server support. If you're running with a proxy server to the internet, all of your computers should be able to play on NovaWorld. You can even host behind a proxy server. But at this time, your additional computers cannot join a host that is behind the same proxy server.

Version 1.03.09 Update

Released:                                                                                                          December 03, 1999

IP Hosting We are aware that some Delta Force 2 players would like the ability to use direct IP connections for multiplayer games. We are taking a very aggressive approach to addressing the issues that lie at the root of requests for IP support. A slow integrated web browser, the multiple steps required to return to an ongoing game, and proxy server problems that keep some players from accessing NovaWorld are issues that might be solved by adding direct IP hosting; however, we prefer to devote our time to finding solutions that will ultimately be more transparent and convenient for all DF2 players than IP hosting would be. To start, we're taking steps to make NovaWorld's interface faster and easier to use. When you exit a multiplayer game, you'll notice that Delta Force 2's browser now takes you back to where you were in the NovaWorld lobby before the game started, eliminating the need to spend precious gaming time surfing back to your favorite server. We've also implemented new NovaWorld code that decreases the time it takes to deliver lobby information, which should make each lobby page load faster. In addition, look for mission names to appear on NovaWorld alongside the game names -- and let us know which missions you particularly like. We'll be introducing more improvements in the future. FlagBall and Four-Squad Games FlagBall and Four-Squad games, which have been available to players hosting Public or Private games, are now part of the mix of dedicated NovaWorld games.

Version 1.03.01 Update

Released:                                                                                                         November  23, 1999

The latest version of Delta Force 2 incorporates a lot of new fixes and improvements, including: Waypoint to Armory now available (in multi-player games that use the Armory) Current waypoint automatically switches to flag-bay when player picks up an enemy flag Friendly tags now default to "on" in team games Added support for wheel mouse using Microsoft drivers "R" key now brings up all recent messages Night vision can be toggled on or off for weapons' scopes as well as night vision goggles ("N" key) Voice-Over-Net keys can now be remapped for custom configurations Field surveillance camera: Select the camera and press fire to place it where you're standing. The camera's view will pop up in a Picture-in-Picture window (you can toggle the window on and off with the F12 key). While the camera is selected, moving the mouse will pan and tilt the camera's view rather than moving your soldier. Select another weapon, and the camera's view will stay where you've left it; you'll be able to move anywhere on the map and still see what the camera sees. To change the camera's view from anywhere on the map, just select the camera again and move the mouse. NOTE: Each player can place only one camera at a time; if you place a second camera, the first will disappear. We're aware of one graphic glitch related to using the camera in Hardware Mode: when you deploy the camera, any rain or falling snow will disappear from every view but the camera's view. We're looking into it.
