In another thread it states that there's going to be a downloadable addendum to the manual.
Thanks, but this is bad news. An addendum is better than nothing, but a completely revamped game could do with a completely revamped manual. It shouldn't be difficult to do. I write manuals professionally, and for me updating an existing manual is easier than putting out an addendum.
Nor is there any printing cost if you provide it as a download.
An addendum means that you have to look everything up in two different places.

Except for the spelling of two states. Guess which two.

The FoF manual that I received with the game in the mail is excellent. I had also printed out the manual with the download game. However, since I learned of the patch|update I have thought that both were essentially only partially good. Plus like you said, using the addendum can be harder. I wish I had one manual that was true to the existing game. An addendum is better than nothing though and I am thankful for what I can get.

You know I expected this.
No dev posts at all on a friday. kinda gave yourselves away
Me, I was driving seven hours to visit family yesterday. That explains
my silence. (I was listening to the audiobook version of "Shooter," that book by the Marine sniper who served in Iraq. Pretty interesting.)

I didn't think gamers in newsgroups cared much for proper spelling. [;)]
While waiting for the FoF patch, I bought another game from a different publisher. Upon joining their forum they required proper spelling to be practiced. Boy was I surprised! [X(]

If I understand correctly, the answer is that if all goes well, this will become the official release in a week or two. Assuming some bugs turn up that we need to fix before release, it will probably be two weeks. If all goes extremely smoothly, then one. There may be a few final changes to the data files, so it's probably the safest bet to wait until it's official as there shouldn't be long to wait.

Thanks and thanks for supporting the game!
