Great to see the patch released!

[Grim.Reaper]

Just in time for the holidays! Thanks.

Where is the patch? I don't see it announced?

it is in beta mode so owners only for now....time to jump in:)

I've been looking at this game for purchase. However, I never do beta patches. In WitE there can be a long time between beta and final patch version. I was thinking that the awaited patch was going to be a final version. Does anyone have an opinion on what the timeframe will be to the final version?
Thanks.

Not sure if this will follow the same pattern as last year's patch, but I believe it was roughly a month from first beta patch to final released version...but with the holidays and such, probably not a guarantee.

You should do beta patches especially now as it's the best time to check them and give feedback in case something was missed, if everything looks good I'm sure a final version will be release early next year.

Yep.  Buy it now, patch and play!

Now, if I could only fake an illness so that the wife and kids head off to the grandparents leaving me with BftB for a 4 DAY weekend.......  *sigh* a guy can dream, okay?


BTW, I own a number of Matrix titles and I have yet to feel like I have wasted money on a single game.

Wasn't the credit card invented for this?

Should be as soon as Matrix gets out the titles they want to release for the Thanksgiving holidays (basically, Distant Worlds: Legends).

On the other hand, this is not quite a "beta" patch as in WitE "beta" patches. This is basically the REAL thing. The only difference between this beta patch and the official one is that the latter will be announced on Matrix main page (and perhaps will get the new version of the installer which parses the serial).

Got all the way to the payment page - filled out the order form and everything and still didn't press it. [8|]

What is holding you back? Good price now and really can be a good game.

[JudgeDredd]

I think I just thought "do I really need another game" - it's only going to distract me from other games I've been meaning to play.

Still - it's early days - knowing me, the good money is on me buying it eventually...especially at £34!

[Grim.Reaper]

Buy it and store it away for a rainy day:)

[Major SNAFU_M]

Rain, rain come today,
Bought BftB n' I want to play;
May spouse and kids stay out' my way,
'cause the patch is here to make my day.
