The HQs leading the charge was a case of a late change by me that mistakenly reversed an if test. One of the problems when you are trying to do too much too quickly with too little sleep. My bad. [:)]

Dave,

I had a friend who sent (programmatically) more than $1M USD {1980s value} in the wrong direction on a wire transfer between banks due to an incorrect sign. Fortunately, he caught and reversed it before the session closed. So, cheer up, Dave. It could have been worse.

Sorry for being a bitch but what is going on with the final fixes Arjuna sent to Matrix a number of days ago? I'm sorry, I just don't get it. Is Matrix a big black hole or something?

As a customer you have every right to inquire.[:)]
The beta team was only able to download it Friday, and I don't think Matrix works on the weekend. I was able to playtest for several hours this weekend and I do see some improvement on the HQ leading the charge issue. Hopefully they will upload it today.

Any word on the beta Arjuna sent out last week.........waiting to continue Elsenborn until my command units wont charge to the front

We're waiting on Matrix at the moment. Please be patient. BFTB is only one of their products in a busy schedule.

MATRIX GAMES is starting to remind me of the Wizard of OZ....."don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain"...seems like a one man show and that one guy must be on vacation. I look around the site and i don't see so much going on that they can't get a "beta" patch out for their best war game.

From what I can tell, a lot of game publishers and game studios have had to cut back in this mega recession because people aren't buying as many games. I've heard that both Dave and Paul at Panther had to find full time jobs to supplement their income. I know of several other developers who have gone back to do contract work because they can't make ends meet with their game sales. It's very possible that Matrix team members have had to follow suit.

I guess we just need to be patient and supportive and hope that all of these entities are able to survive and keep our hobby alive. As gamers we also have to be willing to spend some money too. I know I have cut back on how much I spend on games by about 60%. If we are all doing that, I imagine it is hurting this industry significantly.

I'm looking forward to getting past these economic times and to a more normal lifestyle again.

SITREP

Yesterday we were finally able to fix a significant bug - ie the one that locked up the formation movement. I have asked Matrix to hold off on uploading the latest beta patch. I should have a new build to them by the end of the day. Thanks for your patience.

Nice one Dave! Was hoping for this.

Great news

I have uploaded a new patch build to Matrix. They should get onto it tomorrow.

Just checking back to see if it's up yet. I really want to start a new game but I'm waiting for this particular fix. I realise that no one cares but I think Arjuna, and especially the customers, deserve better that this.

To paraphrase "Fullbright?": A few weeks here, a few weeks there, pretty soon you have a significant delay.
