Matrix Games Forums

There is a new beta (106D) available. I played a few hours last night and it works great. There are bug issues resolved and many improvements. If you have not Played WW1 since the early release you will be amazed at the improvements. The chief programmer really has worked hard on getting this game in good shape. The next non beta is coming soon, but, if I understand this correctly; all future patches will work on saved games-so no need to wait for another patch to try this one out.

One very nice thing about this patch; if you were using 106A (the last non beta patch) your saved games can be resumed with the new patch.

Scenario corrections:
1914 scenario: Yavuz Selim battlecruiser (a.k.a Goeben) is no more deployed in Ottoman Fleet by default at scenario setup (it comes only by event)
- 1914 scenario: corrected the Events draw effects of "Volunteers and Ammunition" war-plan options of France
- 1914, 1916 and 1918 scenarios: the rule for Italy sinking Austrian warships does not require anymore the presence of Italian submarines (none at all!) because Italy uses the MAS ships
- 1914 scenario: BEF now enters in play in St. Quentin or Mons, respectively if Belgium is neutral or not
- 1916 scenario setup fix: Russian area 'Klevan' in Eastern Front is now under German control

- Fixed a bug that triggered the "main front change negative NW effects" even when not needed
- Fixed a bug that prevented the play of political action "Sincere/Bluff peace proposal" even during the winter Interphase

Hi all,

the 1.06D will become official today 8th April 2009. We are going to publish this new patch as "all-inclusive" (this new update will include a fix to a small glitch in land battles).

I will keep you informed as soon the new official 1.06D is out, providing the download link too.

Thanks,
Calvinus.

The 1.06D is now official.

You can find the download link here:

I suggest you to download and install this official patch even if you have already installed the former beta 1.06D, because this new official patch contains a fix to a small glitch in artillery units commitments during land battles.

Thanks,
Calvinus.

This patch (1.06D) is what made my decision to buy this game. So far I have done the three tutorials and printed out some of the manual. By the way, the manual is mighty fine! Now off to the game again... [8D]

Sheepish question, I just bought this game from another retailer, can I still register my game in the Members Section.
OK I've got the latest patch and will need sometime to come to grips with the game mechanics.
