What fancy graphics? This is 4.2 not HD. It has the same graphics as in 4.1 with some new player skins.
It was a matter of speaking that we actually do not care about fancy graphics as long as the gameplay is there but then again, I see CVARS related to bumpy still there so I can safely assume that something with the graphics engine has been done.

If all that community made stuff is so great then why wouldn't they adapt it for 4.2?
I do not work or am associated with FrozenSand and thus how would I know how to answer that? This is the question that I ask you actually. There is some really good stuff made to the engine and I know players that do not play it because this stuff is not there. There is already a fork of 4.2 engine with the missing features:

They are the same maps as are in 4.1 except for Prague v2 which isn't going to get decent fps yet because (if you read the prague reame text you will see why) it isn't finished. I just wanted the gameplay tested.
Yes I know that Prague v2 is not finished yet and I knew that it drops FPS but the map Tombs for example drops down to 67fps on my machine. I don't know if that is still not finished also.

Get used to 4.2. We won't be updating 4.1 because 4.2 is an update to 4.1 and we will be dropping all support for 4.1 soon.
It is only fair that you will not update 4.1 since you are working on 4.2. I am trying to get used to it but after playing for so many years, 4.2 still needs polishing to be up par with 4.1 so keep up the good work.

You sound like you haven't even looked at it since you say things about 4.2 that aren't true like the bit about fancy graphics that haven't changed. Did you read the changelog at all? Turnpike had a bug that had to be fixed. Despite compiling it with the same switches and the same old compiler that was used for it in 4.1 (in 2007) its lighting changed and no one said anything during testing. Since release some people have reported that is a bit dark so I have done what I can to get it closer to 4.1.
I have been following version 4.2 and HD since you posted in the forums. We have been playing 4.2 for quite some time and I can say that the hit code is much better than 4.1
