Could we get the beta patch?

SPWaW is a tactical squad-level World War II game on single platoon or up to an entire battalion through Europe and the Pacific (1939 to 1945).

Could we get the beta patch?

Post by Pack Rat »

I can completly understand if Matrix is concerned with releasing a patch with just one or two fixes. However in the time between now and the holidays when the full fix is hopefully coming, could you please put the VCR patch some where for download. I've got all my pbem down to almost nothing and hate to take on any more.

Let's get one patch & be done with it. If it's out in the new year, so be it. The game is playable right now & I'm sure Tom will want to spend a little time getting re-aquainted with the family over the holidays. Most games, you wait 6 months or more for a patch. How many has Matrix given us in that time? Let's give Matrix time to do it all & do it right.

  Heh, heh, that's funny. Image

  As I'm sure you know, for those who PBEM it's not really "playable". I'll be PBEM'ing Combat Mission and East Front until the patch comes out, so I can wait, but it comes across a little arrogant, IMHO, to dismiss the PBEM'ers who see this as a "show stopper".

  Since Tom's fixed the problem, I'd sure love to see it distributed as soon as possible. (I understand TGN's servers are acting up, so I guess it'll be a day or so, at the earliest.)

Yeah, having the patch now would be great. I have a pair of games with 2 of my friends that I am waiting to start, but won't until we have a working VCR...

While I would like to have a VCR fix as soon as possible, I still want to have a "final" tested 5.5 version rather than a beta. We have already waited for months, so a couple of days more does not hurt much.

Did I say 5.5? I must have meant 4.5?

I was just thinking in terms of the VCR patch, not the other fixes. If it a stand alone, I'd be happy to post it to a web address.
