Ubi Soft has issued new patches for Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield to upgrade all languange editions of their squad-based tactical shooter to version 1.2. This release enables interoperability between localized versions, updates the client to allow future dedicated servers, and fixes a handful of other issues.

Overview

There are two main reasons behind the release of 1.2. First, it enables compatibility between versions using different alphabets (cyrillic, latin, asian, etc.). Secondly, it serves as a client upgrade to support future Linux and Windows(TM) stand alone dedicated servers.

Details :

• Enables interoperability between localized versions, with different alphabets, for internet games.
• Fixes the "ready button" problem where players could not press it and had to wait for the in-between round timer to run out.
• Fixes the crash issue with the server list. The list is now displayed in a multi-page format with a maximum of 400 servers per page.
• The server filter settings are now kept even when you quit the game.
• Karma (ragdoll effect) has been updated, after much research and inspired, in part, by work done by the community.
• Includes support for future Linux and Windows stand alone dedicated servers.
• Removed the network connection check that was done even when in single player mode.
