Zipper’s support of MAG continues as they announce patch V1.05 coming this Monday, 19th April at 1am Pacific/ 4am Eastern/ 9am GMT.

Normal rules apply – just boot up the game and follow the download instructions.  The patch weighs in at about 40mb.

Oh Zipper you do spoil us.

We can expect the normal mixture of tweaks and refinements, cementing MAG as one of the all time great online games.

The full list of changes can be found below;

Gameplay

• Improved the automatic Leadership selection criteria to make players with microphones more likely to be selected than those without them (note: this does not prevent players without microphones from being selected as leaders)
• Adjusted automatic Leadership selection criteria to include Leadership point total in preference formula.

Technical

• Repaired bug that prevented players who were incapacitated and then revived from throwing grenades until they reload.
• Fixed issue with the game lock-ups caused by “hanging” black screen following the conclusion of a gameplay round.
• Repaired crash that sometimes occurred after playing more than 15 consecutive rounds.
• Resolved issue with rare game crash that occurred during playback of intro video.
• Numerous localization changes for in-game text.

Weapons

• Adjusted iron sights to give player clearer view for the following weapons: AK-103, M4A1, PKP MG, Apex 100, RTK-74, Boudini 12 Gauge, and T-195.
• Improved accuracy on all iron sights and red dot sights.
• Increased upwards-recoil to all machine guns.
• Slightly increased accuracy for pistols, PDWs, and SMGs.

That’s all soldiers! Dismissed.
