ETA on the Patch

Erik Rutins · Post by **Erik Rutins** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 1:24 pm

Yes, asking "is the patch ready yet?" will delay the update by 1d3 days per question, without a doubt. The only way to reverse that effect is to buy more copies of Forge of Freedom. Every 100 copies purchased accelerates the update by 1d4 days, so as you can see there's an easy way to get the update sooner rather than later. Let's all be constructive, shall we? [:D]

In all seriousness, this update (I hesitate to call it just a "patch" as it is WAY beyond that) is looking very good right now and I would not be surprised if we go for a limited public beta next week, then release. This is not a schedule though, it's an educated guess.

Errrr

just remember, each change or correctiong has a chance of needed a new change or correction added, so as each area gets closer to be done, it can also need to have more work done on it (ahh the joys of programming)

but overall, am very happy with what we got so far, and if the next set of corrections do not need correcting, we should be looking pretty

Sure,sure simply poke fun at my impairment! So is the "patch" done yet????

What impairment?? I wear eyeglasses, bifocals, luckily not trifocals. I have hobbled around more or less for 36 years, been operated on etc. At times, I can hardly walk. What impairment do you have?? Does it have anything to do with understanding the English language?? [&:]

Obviously the patch isn't out yet or you would see a new patch thread. It would be announced in a bright and shiney manner, with salutes and what nots. Hail!!! Hail!!! The new patch is released!!! Ding dong the bugs are fixed, the bugs are fixed. Ding dong the wicked bugs are gone!!!

Same for every game. A bug-bug here, a bug-bug there, here a bug, there a bug, every where a bug-bug. Old MacProgram had a bug, eee-i-eee-i-ohhhh.

I just don't know anymore. [&:]

Yeah, I caught it. Tis why I replied like a half-baked noodle fluffer-nutter etc.

Plus, it can be fun to gripe and act a bit.[8|]

Faux idignation is the trick of the great comedians, along with both faux and real confusion.

Since the patch team is unwilling to predict a release date, I will do so. The patch will be available for download this Wednesday, March 7 at 5:00 p.m. EST (so you all can play again Wednesday evening)

Requests for additional improvements to be included in the patch will result in the requestor's computer being blacklisted and unable to access the download.

Even inquiries as to whether pet improvements are already included in the patch will be treated with the contempt they deserve.

Someone had to take charge.

I LOVE this idea...

But seriously: when public beta begins I'll be making it crystal clear that any ideas for additional features will have to go in the Wish List, since we will only be looking for input regarding what is already in the patch. Just a few more glitches to go and I think we'll have a patch ready for public testing.

I prefer to think of it as the "Rosecrans Update" or even better the "Thomas Release". It may be slow getting here, but it will be a success once it arrives!

Call it the Fat Cat Halleck Anaconda Full Upgrade Patch. [X(][8|]

Thanx. I keep changing them for fun. Have to see if I have the Man-Orc/Uruk-Hai face i made for a War of the Ring MeTWI mod. I used a bald guy's photo I found on the inet and added phony fangs and red-yellow eyes and splotched the skin with grays and darker pinks. Looks real bogus but I like it, and it drove people nuts, so it was OK. Actually the Man-Orc/Uruk-Hai were phony men anyway, so what the heck.

Johnny,

Just so you'll know -- your "Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch Patch" just delayed the release of the patch/update/enhancement by 1d3 days. In order to reverse the effect you have to purchase x amount of additional copies of FoF. It's known as "Rutins's Rule". I'm sure you understand. It applies to everyone.

Sorry.

What does "1d3" stand for anyway ?

1 die 3, that is you roll one three sided dice and whatever the result that is how many days the patch will be delayed.

I once heard a coin toss refered to as 1d2. [:D]

Rollplayer humor.
