WarPlan is a new engine on how to do WW2 that didn't follow the standard practice many companies take. So yea there is a lot.

We did a good beta and got a lot of things accomplished.

One of the main bugs that impacted the game was when I added a feature post release that I had to fix over a few patches.

But now the game is in pretty good shape.

The good news is that any future releases on this model will be significantly less buggy. Pacific will be easy. I test, see what works, what doesn't, each game adds new features and better A.I. using the previous version as a base.

In general I am quite enjoying my time - and I can live through patches or better the betas.
Alvaro is extremely quick in fixing things and very responsive. Something in general that is not found around for other games where you need to wait for eons for patches.

It's more the future perspective that worries me!

Still playing. Hard to stop. Love trying different strategies. Presently in the happy time of my game. Trying the sub strategy and Operation Sealion. Was pleasantly surprised that US declared war early May 9, 1941. Playing through the beta patches. No issues for me. [:)] Love the game.

No I play and enjoy it a lot [:)].

I just recently decided to take a pause until the next patch. I basically been play both side of a hotseat game to work on strategies and counters. Basically got to the point where the Soviets need serious Lend Lease from the West Allies to survive 1942 and ran into a bug that limits it to the soviet merchant fleet. That pretty much stopped me in my tracks.

Frankly should not stop playing due to one or more bugs … software will have these … and the more useage, the more they are exposed …. and Alvaro is a bug smashing machine …. this game is far more supported along these lines than anything else I've seen for a long time …..

Play, find issues as you can and raise these ….. sit on the sidelines and get what you sow ...

Ya game ending bugs should just be played through once identified right?

I for one think the game is good to go now with the Beta patch`s there are no major problems now!

*matrix quality control*

Matrix staff really does not provide playtesting or quality control for other developer's games. They prepare and update the installer package, based on files provided by the developer, and will test internally to verify the installer works properly. Then the developer usually gets an opportunity to verify the installer works before it is released. This takes time. And with all of the games Matrix supports, sometimes the queue is long and it takes more time than expected. It's business, just a fact of life. Folks need to be patient.

I play and enjoyed it. The occasional problems have been minor in the big picture.

But I have not installed beta patches and take my chances with the original V1.04 so far. I am considering to use beta patches going forward, however since being used is the purpose of their existence after all.
