2.42B revisited

[decaro]

Has anyone lately had any success going from 2.4-2.41-2.42B w/o any planes or pilots missing?

Or do we all stay at 2.3 -- or invest in "War in the Pacific"?

[Miller]

I think 2.42b is the end of the line for UV patches (lets give Matrix credit for releasing it three years after game launch!).

I think the missing aircraft bug only effects certain scenarios - present in Scn 17 but have had no problems in a Scn 19 game.

2.30 is probably the best patch to stick with overall.......

Hmmm.....you just made me realize that Matrix has been playing us!
(By "us" I mean the last few UV diehards that don't have WitP yet....[8D])

Matrix knowingly broke UV so we'd get disgusted with it and buy WitP!!!!

Well........it worked....

WitP is on the top of my Christmas list![8D]

Nice strategy Matrix!!!!

It was my understanding that 2.42B was a test release for us poor souls to play and report our findings. This it pointless unless an eventual 2.42 or 2.43 is produced. Others have sugguested that WitP also has similar errors in it as those remaining in UV 2.42B ( same game engine since 2.40
therefore the same errors ? )so don't expect that to be any better ! Hopefully both will get sorted out in the fullness of time. [>:]

Matrix it appears do not have enough staff to deal with these problems directly, but rely on people to deal with things in any spare time they can conjure up. They do however have enough capacity to create a news-letter & editor ! [:(]

well i belong to one of these "forcefully converted"... [:D]
i still have an UV PBEM game running but most of my time goes to getting a grasp of WitP. the difference is such that after a couple of turns in the game you start to realize what "grand strategy" really means. looking at UV it now seems to me like a training place to prevent getting totally lost in WitP... [X(]

i can only encourage you to buy it. after a few "oh man! i thought UV was complex...." it turns out to be the best strategy game ive ever played. too bad gary grisby said he doesnt want to continue developing games of this scale in the near future.

Hello...

Be advised that the skill set for patching game executables and writing a news letter are some what different. We have a shortage of folks with the former, not the latter. Have been working on patches for UV, WIP, SPWAW and trying to code War in the East.

Plan "to deal with things in any spare time can conjure up", this weekend. Going to try and fix the vanishing aircraft bug.

Wish me well on this effort...

Well, I'm wishing you luck! Been wanting to get back in to UV for some time now...just patiently waiting for a 2.42 patch outcome.

And though I'm not much of a poster, I do stalk the UV forums a bit.

[Skyfire7631]

Ditto [:)]

Regards.

[Forwarn45]

Sounds great! I've been enjoying this game (and still kind of learning) since getting it a month or two ago.

[DEB]

Thanks for the reply Mr Wood. I was begining to wonder if the forums got read at all ( although I do realise you can't comment on all posts ). I do realise that the skills set is somewhat different, but then if your "office" is anything like mine Newsletters are usually done by someone " in house"
( as a spare time task ). Not knowing most of the Matrix staff's identities , I don't know if the chap doing the newsletter was a) specially employed for the job from the outside, b) transferred to it from inside or c) had taken it on in addition the usual tasks ( which may or may not have included patching games etc.).

Good luck with your efforts in curing "our " game problems.[;)]

Good luck Mike !

Mike, I've been stopping by the the UV/WiTP/WPO forums checking on patch status prior to the holidays. Just to let you know I appreciate that you are trying to squash this bug [:)]. If a patch isn't going to be issued and I get a hankering for a game of UV over the holidays, should I roll back to the latest official which is 2.41, or as someone suggested, go back to 2.30? Or maybe stick with the 2.42 beta?

Thanks for your time.

[Skyfire7631]

Bump !

Any news from that last patch ? [:(]

Please, pretty please ! [:)]

Regards.

[GoofTrooper]

Any news would be nice. I think I play UV more then WITP (smaller scale) and would like some info about the status of the patch.

*tap tap*

This thing on?

Patch news needed....CD getting dustier...cravings to play latest version increasing... yadda, yadda

[DEB]

Go back to sleep chaps-not much chance of prompting a reply from Matrix - let alone a Patch.

I stand corrected. [X(]

I'll go back to sleep now.

I guess some news about no news is better than no news about no news...

Fair enough, I understand UV is a rather old game now and is not on top of the priorities list [:)]

The question is, though (and I know you saw it coming [;)]) : when ?
