Update on 2.03 for the masses...

[Lowlaner2012]

Any update on the 2.03 patch guys?

Thanks

[CapnDarwin]

Working on tracking the cause of a sudden bug where the AI can't bridge rivers. There is still some hope of getting things checked out and fixed and up to Matrix Friday, but odds are to Matrix Monday and then see it Tuesday/Wednesday next week.

Based on last nights talks we will be looking to go to Matrix with stuff after an okay in Monday's call. Takes them a day or so to spin an installer if there is nothing else in the pipeline. We will keep you all posted. I will try to get up more notes on changes and new gameplay items so you can get a feel for what is coming tonight.

Thanks for your patience. [&o]

Thanks for all your work. Looking forward to getting into some PBEM play.

[CapnDarwin]

We really hope we have knocked out the remaining PBEM bugs. A number of other items are easier to check, but localization related PBEM disconnects are a bear to track down and harder to trigger and trap.

Thanks guys, keep up the great work. Every time you put out a patch a gamer gets wings.

After the 2.03 release, I seriously hope y'all take so time off for some R&R. I think you earned it.The support for this product has been over the top,imho.

Jack,

I wish we could slow down but we are already slipping off schedule on where we wanted to be with some other items. We know things like that will happen and we have had more weeks in 2.03 than anticipated, but we feel it will be a better game. Is everything fixed. No never will be with us. Hence we will jump into 2.04 and deal with the Sudden Death update and also work a number of Fog of War items noted by folks along with some AI work and other minor fixes. We see 2.05 as working on the UI and Info flow to improve things there based on suggestions and items internally we want to address. After that other than bug fixes we will shift focus to the 2.1 game engine and the major work needed there, the Red Storm Expansion, and the 2.1 new module.

No rest for the wicked or game designers. [;)]

I'd agree with that, as a group you have been incredibly active on the forum as well as pushing forward a game that was superb on day 1 release.

In my estimation puts you up there with the Phillipes for AGEOD ... can't think of any higher praise [;)]

Any word of the patch, any chance it might be released today?

Thanks

Sorry, it won't be released today. There was one additional issue that Rob was working on last night and hopefully he has taken care of it. We have a meeting to tonight to discuss the status of the patch. If all goes as planned (i.e. no last minute unforeseen problems), Matrix should have it tomorrow and we would hope it would be released sometime this week--it will depend on Matrix's schedule. We will let you know if anything unexpected pops up.

[CapnDarwin]

Released to you today, no.[:(] Cleared tonight in our dev call, update doc updated, and tweaks for mod guides, and uploaded to Matrix FTP for installer work and posting , yes. [:D] Generally takes a day or two to get through the system there. We have a couple minor AI issues and tweaks we will be rolling over into 2.04 as well instead of holding 2.03 up any longer. We want you guys to enjoy all of the work done for 2.03.


We will also be posting Mod Guides (3 out of the now 4) and the map templates to Matrix to place on the public FTP as well. That's a quick copy over and posting of locations. That should happen Wednesday or Thursday of this week. [:D]

Much Red Storm goodness on the way.

We don't have any control over Matrix's schedule, but you might want to put your wife/girlfriend on notice that you will be busy Friday night[X(]
