Announcement: 8.2's Imminent Release

[Belisarius]

ORIGINAL: KG Erwin

I need a new smiley for being left twisting in the wind. [:(] My next announcement for 8.2's "imminent release " will be made 2 or 3 days AFTER it appears on the downloads page.

We're more than happy with just a note WHEN it's there. [;)] That way I don't have to look there 14 times a day, a look in here is enough.

Do you want to imply that you have other things to do?

Geeez, next you tell us that you have life?![:'(]

No, but a final in commercial law coming up tomorrow. Which is why I prefer to loiter here for now... [:D]

[Smeghead]

Good luck on the final!

Glad I am outa that phase of life. [:)]

Will wait as patiently as possible for the next version.....

There are always other things to do:

Like the others I was constantly checking the forums. Late last night the website went down (for me at least) and I took that as a sign that the download was ready or was being put on the site.

Oh well [:D]

Praise the devs

Have another beer to help with that cough there Goblin.

On another note, I finally broken down and loaded up CM: Beyond Overlord and played around with it some. Interesting but not the same as my Marines slugging it out in the jungle. Nice graphics though.


There is a Pacific theater mod that you can get for cmbo, should be available on the wargamer.

I just got off the phone with Dave Heath. With all of the last-minute changes and enhancements, this is gonna be a huge download. The download build takes time, and submitting it to the servers takes time.
There will be NO patch. This is what I already suspected. Don't expect anything this weekend. I'm pushing for this to get done, guys. You want it, I want it, so thanks for being extraordinarily patient.

I'm gonna add this as a personal note. Dave Heath's wife is a member of the NYPD, and he is often in care of their three children in addition to taking care of the Matrix Games business. You guys keep this in mind, and cut the man some deserved slack. [&o]

Thank You for the continued updates.................................

Considering that you already gave us a heads-up that you were taking time off, your input here is "above and beyond" what should (and can be) be expected.

Thanks again ............................. from a complete SPWaW freak.


Major Mess


It will get here when it gets here.

[Smeghead]

Aye, thanks for the updates there KG and hat's off to all the developers!

You guys are the best.

Glenn, no one has answered the question of why it has to be a full download and not a patch. It was stated that it is because there are changes to the mech exe, but H2H has changes to the mech exe, but is much smaller than a full download. Why the full download then? Any insights?

[wodin]

OK. I will keep my fingers crossed for next week soemtime.

Eric, I asked David this very question last night. There are so many tweaks and changes and enhancements with 8.2 that it's pointless to release a patch.
I'm supposed to be on holiday, but I just can't stay away from here. Let me buy you a beer, Goblin, and let's enjoy the long weekend.
I'm also pulling out my favorite war movie DVDs in honor of the vets. First up--a "Band of Brothers" marathon. [;)]
