Alaska-1948 doesnt work with singleplayer/coop despite not being listed as an exception.

This mappack and the bot support it adds is amazing though and I think an overall pathfinding rework in the next update would make this perfect.

Try FHSW 0.701. Almost all of the maps worked in singleplayer and coop.

Holy **** that completely fixed it. I didn't know that patch existed, thank you.

I have a fresh install of Battlefield 1942 with only the expansion packs, Forgotten Hope, FHSW and the Fan Mappack 6. I installed FHSW 0.7 without any prior versions previously in the mods folder before trying Alpenfestung.

The loading screen does show up properly, but the bar loads all the way and then does nothing for a few seconds before crashing to desktop. I'm able to play all the maps in co-op and instant action just fine, it is just Alpenefestung that crashes like this.

It crashes while loading the map

Alpenfestung still crashes despite being in the original Forgotten Hope

Hi, one other bug I encountered just now.

When pressing E on the .50 cal tripod, I enter just fine. When I press E to exit after, it doesn't work and I end up having to suicide my character to escape from it. This doesn't happen with the DhSK so i think it's a bug specifically with the tripod .50 cal

Also as another thing, all the flags and planes for this beta involving Egypt should have the UAR flags/symbols instead of the modern Egyptian symbols as Egypt was still under Nasser during the Attrition War and thus still the UAR, and Syria should have the three stars on their flag. It's a very minor thing but i think it would be better for immersion

One bug: Operation Bulmus 6 doesn't load because of a missing file within the map folder

at 0:10 you destroy a Ha-Go with a Thompson. That shouldn't be possible.

Hey, great job on this version, love the new sides like the Slovak State.

One major problem im having though is that a lot of the antitank guns like the Axis one on Hongertu are blocked by the sandbags and cant fire shots over them. Also a lot of bots get stuck in the trenches on that map but if you could fix the sandbags being too high then that would be great

The axis side on Sisak is a Cossack division of the Wehrmacht, not the Romanians

Also just for fairness, i would suggest lowering the direct damage of the Japanese infantry mortar because I just tried it, it can kill a Sherman in two shots.

Hi, the Dieppe Raid map crashes on startup.

Hey, love this version unfortunately I can't really tell where the new maps are to see what they are. Would it be possible in the future to reorganize the map titles by date like BattleGroup42 does (like 4207 Stalingrad, with year "1942" and month "07") so choosing them is easier? It's fine if not, but it would be a nice touch especially with finding the more obscure battles like Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway and such.

I think there should be more anti-tank rifles/bazookas in the class selection instead of the NCO. The AI barely does anything against me when I play in a tank

Where do i put this?

Ah, sorry. Honestly I would just remove the visual effect entirely if it can't be smaller but I understand, carry on.

I know, but the explosions made by the Vulcan bullets (the muzzle flash? ones and the ones that appear when the bullets hit the ground) seem to be way too big, like almost cartoony. Maybe I'm wrong, but ive never seen that in any game with a vulcan before. I dont think they had that much explosive filler to generate explosions as big as they are in the mod

Hey, I actually find this mod to be a better experience than BFV Arsenal and EoD, especially with the vehicle variations and the ARVN actually feeling like the ARVN with M1 Garands and such. Nice job!

My only major gripe is that the sound design is way off and it somewhat breaks the immersion. The explosion sound effect is something I'd hear on Roblox and the flashbang-ish sound effect that plays upon reaching low health, while a great touch, actually hurts my ears and makes me want to run to the nearest health center to make it stop, which I guess works for that purpose but game sound effects should not be hurting ears. Besides that, the bullets for 20mm Vulcans make really big explosions for some reason but those are the only real issues I have, this is overall a great v1.0 release. Good luck with the updates :)

Which map is this?

Great mod but some of the weapon animations (especially taking out the pistol and reloading bolt action weapons) are way too slow

Minor thing, are you planning to add iron sights to the guns like some other mods have managed to do? I've done battlefield balkan a lot and i'm kind of used to it now lol

It is mostly workable though, so it can remain, though im excited to see when you upload yours

No problem

Um, what version is that map in the photo from? I don't recognize the map and the sides appear to be Peshmerga vs Ansar Al-Islam, and I don't remember any maps with that in the most recent 1.3 version

De nada man

Download, unzip the file, and drag "DC2" to your mod folder

No. I don’t think there’s any mods for this game that fixes that

Great to know! And no problem, the only Dropbox link for it went down once so I panicked and uploaded it here so it doesn’t happen again lol. Tell him thanks for the work to make all those maps single player if you can.
