Please post any issue you identify to this thread. Be as detailed as possible and list any exact steps so the testers can recreate and Michael can fix.

Thanks again for your support.

<t> Just sent the latest build to Matrix to get it out as a beta patch. <br/>
<br/>
Still some issues to work through for the future, but this fixes the withdrawl bug.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Give the Matrix crew a few days and we should see the beta patch release.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for all the help ...

<t> Just dropping in with an update...Joe and Pirate have been fantastic! <br/>
<br/>
Not done yet, but they are giving great feedback and Michael is knocking out changes/fixes.<br/>
<br/>
I don't want to commit to a date just yet but I will get with Michael after this coming weekend and see ...

Not quite there yet. PirateJock and Joe have taken a look but we do still have some work to do. Michael is checking based on the great saved games and examples PirateJock passed on.

Tim

I have two testers giving things a good look...if they are happy with the withdraw status, we are a go.

Should be very soon.

Tim

<t> Progress but not there yet. Here is the report:<br/>
<br/>
Had a play around last night with a few games playing both sides, hotseat and against AI. First impression is that the withdraw fix has improved the chance of a withdraw happening and I haven't spotted any problems caused by the change ...

<t> Sabre,<br/>
we will do that for next week but it takes time for Matrix to put that together and the patch is not ready just yet.<br/>
<br/>
I was looking for Joe to do some quick tests but he is traveling. If all looks good with those that can test, I will get things to Matrix on Monday to do ...

<t> Progress.<br/>
<br/>
Michael has a build that we think fixes the withdraw bug.<br/>
<br/>
Looking for 3 testers (that can test in next two days) to e-mail me directly at:<br/>
tcoakley at optonline dot net<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Additionally,<br/>
Please post any other bug reports here for a ...

Michael is working on things...I will be reaching out to him when I get back Wed.

Tim

Max,
no problem...you guys have every reason to be pissed.

Tim

Not sure what else to post...no solution yet. Thought I was doing the correct thing by posting today...reinforcing Joe98's post that he was in contact with Mike. As soon as Mike has an update on his progress, I will post it.

Can't give you a timeline.

Tim

<t> Michael and I do have forum access...it is just blocked by our jobs. Michael used to be able to get some game work done at the office but that is no longer the case. Same on my end.<br/>
<br/>
Having a moderator manage the forums and pass on critical information did not work.<br/>
<br/>
I ...

I spoke with the programmer and he will be reviewing things this weekend. I will post a progress report next week when I am back from training.

Mike and I no longer have forum access from work.


Priority will be the withdraw bug.

Tim

<t> No excuse for my absence. Matrix/Slitherine are not to blame, it is solely my responsibility.<br/>
<br/>
Having someone cover the forums/project management did not work.<br/>
<br/>
I will call Mike Cooney (programmer) today.<br/>
<br/>
I will ask Mike to try to fix the withdrawal bug as ...

<t> Thanks for the input and some great suggestions.<br/>
<br/>
We are working on getting 1.03 wrapped up. It is out in beta so it can be used, just checking some final items.<br/>
<br/>
We do have a follow on game on the drawing board (much more than that actually). Any major game improvements ...

<t> Wanted to make it official...Obsolete has taken on forum moderation duties and is helping out (in a BIG way) with project management.<br/>
<br/>
The patch looks solid.<br/>
<br/>
Max 86 has also been gathering some manual addendum info along with PirateJock. <br/>
When they are done. we ...

Max 86,
can you contact me at timc at matrixgames dot com?

Regards,
Tim

I don't think we will get an original game design answer on this.

Tim

<t> Well deserved blast from the customers. I am taking steps to formalize the plan to bring on a project manager to provide customer feedback and organize the needed bug fixes. <br/>
<br/>
The plan has always been to support the game. Matrix provides excellent support to the developers so this ...
