Holy Hell you guys have been busy for us. Appreciate it!

That is a hell of a patch and I see many player concerns in there. Best support ever.

Hope it improves a masterpiece but not sure how you do that.

On my Intel Pentium 4 Hyperthreading system the -cpu# switches don´t work.
If I use them my combat animationen start hanging for 10,12, 15 even more seconds.

I never cared for the combat animations so I don't run them. Sorry I can't help.

thx for the fast reply.
Well my post was just a information.
On my system WitP:AE ist running satisfactory. So I don´t use the -cpu# switch.

Nice job! Pretty comprehensive set of fixes, but in particular, thanks very much for fixing the hugely annoying LRCAP bug.

[rockmedic109]

Having had a quick look through the aircraft replacement schedules, it appears that the Australian Spitfire VIII is a nightfighter [X(]

I note that the list of data changes does not include the Guadalcanal scenario or, unless I'm mistaken, any of the smaller scenarios.

Are there any plans to update these in the 'official' patch?

Steve.

Edit: In my rush to ask the question - cos I'm in the middle of Guad right now, I forgot to say - WELL DONE GUYS!

OK, I'm having problems with it. I keep getting a pop up saying invalid serial number everytime I try to run the beta patch. My serial is valid and registered. I have tried both pasting from my license file and hand typing. It always comes up with invalid serial number. I have the 1st patch applied. Any ideas?

Now to be fair, I am running a Macbook pro 13" intel with OS X 10.5 and using parallels to run this one an only beloved windows game. And yes, WitPAE screams on it. Time to convert my friends.

Thanks for the beta patch. Great work!

[Smeulders]

They were also updated, we just didn't have the change list from those designers yet.

E-mail me your serial number to erikr@matrixgames.com exactly as you entered it and I'll double check.

Right, if they cause any issues then don't use them. You can try the other switches though. -SingleCpuStart or SingleCpuOrders might help you.

Thanks, Erik. I think I noticed at least one change (F4F-3 drop tanks) that didn't get carried into Scenario 04; I'll try to create some sort of list.

Oh, and someone might want to check out the assigned airgroups for HMNZS Leander: S10 to S17/700 Sqd FAA are ALL assigned to this lucky ship!

Steve.

[Flying Tiger]

great job. thanks!

i noticed that the map no longer scrolls when trying to set search arcs. i'm sure it scrolled before?

[leehunt27@bloomberg.net]

thanks again to the developers for the new AE and working out all the bugs with the new patch I know from my own limited experience and friends who are programmers that "bug hunting" is exhausting and tedious at times. But we appreciate it!!

Zero's don't have much of an advantage in the early war at all. Can handle Beer-barrels but is already struggling against Warhawks and Wildcats. It could however be that Allied fighters are overperforming.

One of my carrier strikes went in unescorted, 10 Kates against 1 Warhawk. Over 2 intercepts I lost 7 Kates...

Lots of ppl have blown their fuses arguing against the reductions in Jap air / sea prowess, so I hope you didn't chase away all the JFBs - cause you need someone to even out the AFBs dominating presence.

Consider me a voice for those who left in protest!
(This one's for you Pauk!) [:-]

- turning of the slight irony -

Looking forward to test the new patch! Well done to fix so much in so little time [:)]

Can't find anything about such an update but thought this was a planned change to give the Japs more of an edge in the early war.

As far as we can tell, Japanese air is fine in the early war, with the exception of the Coral Sea scenario, where an issue was fixed. What else are you seeing? In all our testing the Zeros are pretty much matching their historical performance.

Right now most of us are playing the AI. Zeros do Ok in the AI game but not great. However, I just started my first pbemail campaign and there is a big difference in how things work. My experienced email opponent is usings the sweep then bomb tactics, (with rinse and repeat) and the zeros are doing a plenty good job of shooting all of my fighters out of the sky. Since most of us will end up playing email games, I would not recommend wholescale changes until there are a good number of pbemail games under way.

I was worried that Allied subs were too sucessful and that is the case in my AI games. However, my opponents skilled use of escort and ASW in our email game is causing me to think twice. Best to wait a while and see.
