ETA on next patch?

Post by BlackSunshine »

OK... I've been waiting patiently enough. I would like to start a new PBEM game as I have become incredibly bored with WPO (what a snoozefest!)

We all know it takes forever to finish a PBEM game. So I dont want to get a year or so in and restart because a newer version is out. So how long will it be before the next official patch is released?

As a second question, I am currently playing 1.6, what are the problems which are currently being addressed for the next patch?

Well maybe if we could get an answer, people wouldn't keep asking the question.

Or, maybe they should sticky the question if it bothers you so much.

It's kind of hard to read through some of the drivel that is posted here. Sorry if I missed it.

*edit*

ugh, that was a waste of a 100th post.


Any wanna let me know what they are fixing from 1.6?

The only thing that bothers me are kitties.....particularily kitties that eat expensive stereo headphones.

Kitties are meant to be PUNTed.

v1.8 is still months away. I'm guess due to resource issues. Stick with v1.73b in the meantime ....

Nah, 1.795 beta is much better. [:D]

I still think all the bugs are Niks fault, he is a master at breaking the code. [8D]

Especially for the NCOs. Afterall, their chances of command go way up when half the officers in the military go AWOL. [8|]

Any bugs I report are always straight stock games.

Well, those Staff Officers and WOs have to have something to do. [:)] I see no problem with a Warrent Officer in charge of my best CV Taskforce. [&:]

I hope Mike is working on this a few minutes a week. [:'(]

Can that happen in all 1.795 games or only games started with an earlier version and upgraded to 1.795 mid-game?

What do you find so boring about it, in particular? Or is it because there are actually slow days, and not a gazillion things going on at once all over the map. I for one actually like being able to do a turn in under 10 minutes everynow and then [;)]

Current games upgraded to 1.795 will usually kill off a block of leaders.

Games started anew with 1.795 seem to fine in regard to leaders. There is the occasional leader disappearance, generally after splitting LCU/groups. But not always. Seems much better in that regard.

Other complaint seems that IJ pilots are not always going to their historical air group.

Hey it has its moments of quickening pulse.

No matter how careful I am lately, I keep getting surprised by mid-ocean intercepts of my Transport TFs.[:o]

Sitting there for several minutes watching the puny escorts battle those BC/CLs while wondering how many AP/AKs will survive.[:(] [I don't skip the animations. I need to feel my sailor's pain.]

Look forward to the "snoozefest" then, at least for awhile.[:D]

Hey, I felt the same thing. In my game with Term, I had an entire convoy running from the PI wiped out... 10,000 tons of fuel at the bottom of the sea, along with a half a dozen gunboats, APs, and AKs. If there is a snooze fest, I haven't seen it yet. [:D]

Not true .. started and re-started one recently and japanese commanders everywhere had poisoned sake on the 10th dec 1942 . Maybe they saw what was coming ! [;)]

No fits from them. They were inspecting the cargo when the attack came.
