Important Release information relevant to Version 2

Ok guys, just like to say we haven't forgot about the issues from v1.
We've put a lot of time into researching the issues restricting some users from experiencing our work, we believe we have narrowed the users down to specific graphics cards, notably Intel Graphics Cards, we're looking for more feedback from the community as to this theory. There doesn't seem to be any way round this issue, so here is our best solution.

We will be releasing 2 version of the modification -
Version 2.0.0 (High Definition Edition) - This version will feature the mod in its full entirety with HD skins, detailed models and the use of imported buildings from GTA.
Version 2.0.0 (Standard Definition Edition) - This version will feature a reduced unit selection, lower quality skins, lower quality models and only em4 buildings on map.

This is all in an attempt to allow users of all PC spec to play our mod, this is the best possible remedy I can come up with, I hope the community will be understanding and appreciative.

The SD version will be released a few months after the HD release.
Both release dates have not and will not be announced until development is complete.

Thanks for reading this guys, hope this extra effort on my part will ensure some enjoyable gameplay for all those who can't play!

Can you dwell more on the highrise pack or a little more info on this? Like what it does, how it works.. etc.
and on the other hand... since there will be a SD and HD version... this means that the 2 versions cant be played with each other because of the lower details/ file changes? or am i wrong?

Highrise pack? What? And yes if playing MP both members would be required to have the same edition, however both editions can be simultaneously installed so members wishing to play with SD can easily switch down to it.

[CFDDIVE11]

thats acutally a good idea... in the mods folder in the actual game is it going to say "manhattan mod V2 SD or HD" ?

[FDNYpower]

smart thinking;)

[Dominik31]

To my mind it is a very good idea! I hope I can play HD version on my pc

[gunswat]

HD does not require an HD screen right?

I think it doesn't.

The High Definition aspect only refers to the quality of the mod, so far we've only been working on the HD version, making the mod best we can, then we'll test etc and after release reduce lights, models, units, skin quality, remove imported GTA stuff etc.

We've done a few tests and 90% of the people lucky enough to get their hands on a pre-release beta have had no CTD issue, just the small minority experiencing issues, like I said we put this down to graphics card mainly, but also specs. But yeah come release, we don't wanna hear a wall of 'I got CTD' it will be sorted for you guys, you'll just need to wait a little while longer.

Anyway yeah, progress is not 90% focused on the map now, adding as much detail as we can to improve the ambience, after playing v2 beta, v1 does seem very outdated and far less enjoyable to play, hopefully you'll see from some map previews coming soon

Anyway as always any Q's hit me up (not pm though)

El Barrio's Bravest : Engine 53 Ladder 43 go on a run for a vehicle fire at E84th and 3rd Avenue. This is ONE of the 3 new firehouses. That will be featured in the mod. Enjoy this small treat. When I say small, I mean a tiny tiny detail of new stuff in version 2. Hope this gets ya'll a little excited!

PLEASE if you dont like it then dont dislike the video..

[gunswat]

looking good so far

[Dominik31]

Awesome firehouse!
You mean it is a tiny tiny detail of new stuff in version 2. So we have a lot of new things, hope there will be great!
You said that El Barrio's Bravest is one of 3 fire stations on the map but on the first page Dyson wrote 3 fire stations 'Midtown mob' 'Yorkville' and 'Pride of midtown' here comes the fourth station El Barrio's Bravest so which of these 4 stations won't be in mod?

I noticed in the video I didn't see the CAD system. I thought that was going to be in there
