v1.02 Public Beta Now Available!

[Erik Rutins]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your support of Decisive Campaigns: Warsaw to Paris. This v1.01 Beta should be the official release version, we just want to give it a quick public beta check before making it official.

We recommend that if you are experiencing any serious issues with the 1.00 release, that you give this beta update a try.

Here's how to download this update - because it's a public beta, you need to get it from our Members Club. Click on the Members Link in the top nav bar. If you haven't created an account there yet or registered your copy of Decisive Campaigns: Warsaw to Paris, please do so. Once logged in and registered, click on "My Games" then click on the "Private Downloads" link next to Distant Worlds and you will see a link to download the public beta update.

Please note that once this becomes official, it will be available through our normal download and update process (in the Latest Downloads section and through the "Check for Updates" link on your game menu) but we do not like to release public beta updates widely until we are sure they are good to go.

Here's the change list:


Change History:

v1.02 Public Beta – September 14, 2010

1. Fixes and Improvements

a. Fixed a bug in the campaign where using the historical setting resulted in still getting random variants in scenarios after Poland, also fixed another issue with the campaign. All issues with variants and campaigns should be resolved now.
b. Fixed a bug where you could press SPACE hotkey in strategic movement mode while the target was not reachable.
c. A hex in Bzura scenario was landscapetype N/A, is fixed.
d. Mouseover of total officer/staff bonus now explains the quite complicated calculation used better.
e. Hotkey “C” added. If you click it you center the map on the selected unit.
f. Hotkeys “<,” and “.>” added to go to next and previous units that have not moved or attacked at all (it was not useful to scroll through units based on if they have move points left, almost all will have some left)

v1.01 – September 7, 2010

1. Fixes and Improvements

a. Campaign and Scenario Issues
i. Fake Invasion and Support Manstein cards in campaign room were not working in case yellow if the variant they stop would actually occur. Fixed.

Vic, why not make 10 AP the cut-off point?

With 10 AP you can still make an artillery attack, a good thing to remember to do just before you finish your turn.

Good Idea Bodybag
