News........any News?

Hi All,

I am just wondering if anyone has heard any news concerning a patch, or an add-on, or what direction the game will be taking.

Regards John

I think the next one is being worked on.  West front, possibly?

Still hoping to release another update before the end of the year. We're still working on plans for the next release, things have been moving along there, albeit slowly.

Hi Erik,

Is there any definite information you can provide. For instance, some items the patch is hoping to address or some improvements it will contain? Any confirmed information concerning the next release?

regards John

Didn't he just cover that in his last post? [:D]

I really hope for a patch before Christmas. It could renew the interest for the game. And please fix the tank destroyed model, i can't stand the commander staying out of the turret even if his tank is exploded the previous turn...

[rickier65]

i have to agree, seeing that tank/tank commander looking fine bug after being killed seems to be the most eye-catching one for me at least. And I know it has minimal affect on gameplay, but still (i find myself double checking them aafter a few turns)

thanks
Rick

The tank commander killed bug is at the top of the list for the next update. Although cosmetic, I agree that it's really annoying.

Yeah, I see that guy up there in the turret, and think that the tank is still alive.

I was hoping I could somehow fix the dead tc bug by making TC or vehicle animation changes, but unfortunately the bug is in the code itself so no joy there

As a very poor work around you could reinstate the destroyed.dds (from PCOWS) texture to the Media/Graphics directory. This will make the hull and turret look burnt out and was removed from PCOWS because it didn't look so good, however it at least will give you a visible representation of what is destroyed.

If anyone out there wants destroyed.dds and doesn't have PCOWS I will post it to the mods forum if required.

Yes please, it's a workaround but at least I could visually see which tank is destroyed or still alive... Commander bug is irritating [:(]

What is the time frame for the update and are you looking for scenarios to add to it? I have one that's finally finished playtesting and another that may be done in a week or two if there is an interest.

Good Hunting.

Same exact question 2 months later.....is anybody home?

I've posted elsewhere in the interim discussing the additional time needed for the update. It's still in the works, unfortunately. There have been some very recent delays related to defining the scope as far as what else will be done and included.

Sorry, I obviously missed your comments.

Thanks for the quick response. Looking forward to whatever changes are made in PCK.

Good Hunting.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I've hardly been a font of information but once the current issue is resolved one way or the other, the update will be full steam ahead.
