The Countdown Thread -- Crazy is as crazy does

Crossroads, you made my day. [&o] I don´t mind to wait, still I have to play dozens and dozens of JTCS scenarios and I wish to buy some of the modern wars titles. The Medieval theater is enormous there are plenty of scenarios and campaigns to choose from.

Yes, I know there are spanish civil war scenarios, including some of the "blue division" in the east front. All of them very nice. Furthermore, I really love early tanks (BT-5/T26/PZ I). That´s true SCW was so epic, clearly it deserves a game.

No, I cannot find the link to the WWI mod.

Assuming one new game per year, that's the next ten years then sorted [:D]

I am an early war buff as well. The few SCW scenarios are a blast, as are the few 1930's colonial war scenarios in Africa, for instance the Italians vs Ethiopians. [:)]

Guess who gets to change the diapers?

[:D]

40 test scenarios completed, no freezes or crashes. The automated crash testing continues...

Ha!

I can now report 30 scenarios completed with 100% success rate. Those were the smaller ones, so this gets slower and slower towards the biggies.

Past the 50 marker now. All's well so far [:)]

We should have pretty high confidence that everything should work the same as it has over the past three weeks. Since the official installer version is, except for the added M/S installer bits & pieces, essentially identical to Jason's very last middle_east_GM_20150906_PM install (which itself is identical in the important parts to the 20150831 GM install that all of you have been testing).

If no reported (new) problems since 20150831, we shouldn't expect to see any over the next several days.

But, you never know -- Mr. Murphy knows -- so we still need to check it all out, exercise the usual due diligence.

It does get tiresome, though. I'm getting pretty sick of All QA All the Time. I'm getting worn out anxiously awaiting to see if



poops the party.

Due to last-minute fumbles, and confusion in the final packaging, there will be the need for a Zero Day Release Patch, alas. Quoting from the 1.00 readme file:

Change History:
v1.00a – September 24, 2015
• Release Patch
o Fixed the broken Adaptive A/I in PBEM and NetPlay modes.
o Fixed the engine/editor exit bug. (Which among other things, broke LCGs.)
v1.00 – September 24, 2015
• Initial Release

Murphy's Law strikes again!

No big deal, really. It just means that until Matrix can remaster the installer at a later date (when we release the inevitable ME 1.01, for example), in the meantime players will do the v1.00 install, then immediately patch up to v1.00a right from the get-go.

Hey, we're sorry for that.

Mr. Murphy's smiling to himself right about now.

Ba, until i dont see a 1.01 is like a 18 years old virgin... trying find how lose it [:D]

Maybe release the game with a bug and have next day hotfix... 1.0 allways made me think in "well, something is not working waiting first patch" [8|]

Ah, there you go, blame it all on Hexagon. "Who, me?"

Mr. Murphy unmasked! [;)] [:D]

[Hexagon]

In my defense i only can say [8|]

[Crossroads]

In Hexagon's defence, he did offer an alternative...

ORIGINAL: Hexagon

I think more this [:D]

"WE HAVE A 1.0 VERSION!!! we sacrifice our last programmer to have it free of bugs!!! KALIMA!!!"

Given the two alternatives available, we preferred the option for a quick bug fix update. We like our programmers alive [:)]

[Hexagon]

Ba, your outdate work system slows progress... [:D]

human resources guy1-Our 1.0 version fails, the hearth of last sacrifice was not pure enough
poor programmer-noooooo dont kill me!!!! i can do more counters for future games!!!
Berto- (thinking)i cant see this, is to hard for me
Crossroads- (thinking) well, is not something fun to see but at least we dont need work in a hotfix
