PC 1.03 Patch now available .Click here for a full list of mirrors and fixes.

UPDATED: Linux SADS 1.03 R2 is also available here and fixes a number of issues:

- Fixed not being able to type in console window
- Updated readme concerning local and remote commands available
- Fixed certain remote commands not working (even though the local commands would work)
- Added "-noredirectstdin" commandline parameter. Launching with this will allow an external app to use stardard input to feed the server console commands.
- Added a "User maps and the dedicated server" section to the readme.

Okay uhhh... both new patch topics were closed (?) Where are we permitted to discuss the patch? Here? And if so, can we get an official list of what the patch addresses? Somebody else posted a list on one of the closed topics but I was amazed that the corrupted saved games issue did not seem to be addressed so I was wondering if that was an incomplete/non-official list. When I installed the patch, it showed what issues were addressed in a popup dialog just after the installation was complete. I tried to copy and paste that to no avail and I figured it would be dumped as a txt file into my Far Cry 2 game directory but I don't see it.

(edit)

Oh and thanks for the patch, by the way. Much appreciated.

The HardCore mode is usable for the SP game?

EDIT: ... maybe the hardcore mode was translated to "diabolico" in italian language :S

Steam should be updating their servers with the patch as soon as possible.

BTW ,the auto patcher in the game data does download the new patch and when installing , says the same "can't retrieve the version..."
For the previous patches , I think I had to edit something with "find" but I don't remember how and where ...
