OServers probably haven't updated yet. This happened with the renegade patch took, took about 12 hours to filter through.

Patch didn't work for me though. I uninstalled and reinstalled and am about to try it again :)

Edit: Still didn't work. Must be my install of windows or something. I get a black screen, then it takes me back to the desktop and gives me the standard sound for a windows error (but it never throws an error at me). Oh well, I guess I'll hope that the retail version works :(

Are you connecting to the EA servers that specifically say v 1.1? Probably not. ;)
From what I've seen there are more fixes then what the readme states... probably a complete list somewhere. I was able to hit moving targets with the sniper rifle! ;)
Planes seem to fly a little dif too.
Just so you know the patch sets your vid back to 800x600x16 by default... don't forget to change that if you used 1024 or higher.

The corsair seems alot more "manuverable" now compared to the SBD-6 Dauntless

anyone played this with the patch yet?

I just played two games and both were laggy as hell. Wondering if its my cable connection sucking tonight or if the patch caused some crappy lag or something... ?

By the way does the planes seem like they have a slight different feel to anyone else?

Thanks for the heads up. Played on that server today and had a blast. My ping was in the 40-50s.
