Semanas después de su lanzamiento, Electronic Arts y Pandemic Studios han publicado el primer parche para Mercenaries 2: World in Flames en su versión PC, el cual intenta solucionar algunos de los bugs que ha reclamado la comunidad de jugadores, o lo que es lo mismo, soluciona diversos bugs encontrados, mejora algunas opciones del control, además de añadir todas las resoluciones comunes de 16:9 o 4:3 (tenéis detalladas, una por una, todas las novedades que introduce el parche pulsando en "Leer más"). Los poseedores del juego pueden descargar el parche desde nuestros servidores, pulsando aquí. Os recomendamos que la hagáis desde HardGame2, pues disponemos de la versión española del parche, difícil de encontrar en webs extranjeras.

Below is a list of the fixes that are included in this patch.

• When the user sets the shader level to low in the options menu, the user can set the shaders back to high again.
• The user can now cancel a contract by using a controller.
• The user can set the volume levels to high and low using the mouse properly now.
• When the user fails to find another player using "Custom Match" the menu options function normally.
• Joystick sensitivity now operates as designed.
• Adjusting the view distance from the main menu functions properly now.
• The user can no longer create accounts using "spaces" in their names, thus allowing them to search online for names properly.
• Paper animations have been removed from the game. This addresses a bug with animations not appearing properly.
• All common 16:9 and 4:3 resolutions are now available. Additionally, some other common resolutions are now supported. *NOTE: DVI Cable connections will only return a limited number of resolutions.
• Default brightness now works when selecting the "Default" setting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

*PLEASE NOTE: USING A DVI INTERFACE CABLE TO CONNECT YOUR DISPLAY TO YOUR VIDEO CARD CAN SERIOUSLY LIMIT RESOLUTION CHOICES AVAILABLE BOTH IN GAME AND IN WINDOWS DISPLAY PROPERTIES. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames allows the user to select the same native supported resolutions that Windows reports available via the graphic driver. This means that the while in the game the user will only be able to select the same resolutions that are displayed in the Windows display.

Any resolutions that are now supported which are not 16:9 or 4:3 may look stretched. We are working on another patch which will further address this issue and allow the user to select resolutions without any stretching occurring.

UNINSTALL OF THE PATCH ONLY:

Un-installation of this patch will not occur automatically. The user will have to manually browse to the directory where Mercenaries 2: World in Flames has been installed. Next the user can rename or delete the executable "Mercenaries2.exe". The back up executable file for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is located in a directory named "BACKUP" which is located in the games default root directory. Copy the executable from the "BACKUP" directory to the main installation directory and rename it to "Mercenaries2.exe" manually. Once the user has performed all of the above steps, the user can either double click on the executable from the installation directory, or run the shortcuts that the game created when it originally installed. This will restore the game to the same state it was in prior to any modifications that the patch created. The user also has the option of completely un-installing the patched game and re-installing the original version of the game without limiting the amount of installs the user is allowed to perform as long as the game is being installed back on the same machine that was originally used for installation.

UNAUTHORIZED COPIES OF THE GAME:

It has come to the development team's attention that some unauthorized (hacked) versions of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames are being distributed on the internet. While we are very excited to see that so many people having interest in our game, we want to make sure that the community is aware that playing games of a cracked/hacked origin is illegal. The development team worked very hard to implement extra measures to ensure the security of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for the PC. Some of those measures may include disabling functionality of the game. If a user is experiencing glitches or instability, please check to make sure that your copy of the game is legitimate and that there are no modifications made to the game which have not directly come from Pandemic Studios or Electronic Arts. If you are certain that your copy of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is legitimate and you are still experiencing difficulties, game errors or abnormal behavior we recommend that you check the "readme.txt" file which came with your game. If that does not help, please contact Customer Service.

We have noticed that there are people claiming to have legitimate NO-CD cracks for playing our game without the DVD in your DVD drive. To play Mercenaries 2: World in Flames the user is not required to have the DVD in the DVD drive.

The development team would like to thank the Mercenaries 2: World in Flames community and end user fan base for all of the feedback that has been conveyed. We do encourage this feedback when properly structured and is being conveyed via the proper channels.
