Any news on the 1.08 patch?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

I'm too slow. I was gonna tell Michael T they only invite people they like. Pelton comes to mind, and I don't think GR is getting an invite.

Hi Wheat,

Remember your secret? Hint (smileys). Almost have it figured out.

The .08 guys are choosing who they think is most productive, so they pick the most experienced. Didn't choose me so I'm kind of hurt, but not really.

There was no invite process involved. I simply worked on the patch and after some time started posting in WitE Dev forum and whoever had access to that forum from the time WitE was developed by 2by3 was welcome to offer his advice and play with the game. There's just a handful of people willing to spend time with WitE now, as most have moved on to WitW.

Yeah, last we heard is that it should be ready end of last month, that it was ready save for a few last ends to tie up and that it just needed balancing and for the players/testers to settle on how it was going to be. Come on testers stop disagreeing and finding things to nitpick about.

So is it still looking to be anytime soon or are we still waiting another month for everyone to agree?

I don't understand aren't there enough options in this patch, to consult all tastes so to speak, for the rules before you start the game-have it your way?

This is probably the last update of any kind until WITE 2.0. Once WITW comes out they will be too busy with that to work on any issues with this game for a while. It's better for the testers to be a little nit picky because they know if they miss something, we will find it and then some people will complain that the update was released too soon.

We've been waiting this long.. a little while longer is just fine as I'm sure it will be worth it.

Sure we can wait another week or two or three another month and so on... we probably have too many experts who think it should be different every time something is re-balanced or changed.

You sure it will be worth it? we'll see how many of the nit pickers aren't finding something wrong after it is finalized and released.

Morvael is working out some minor bugs and balancing issues and I'm fighting with the german translation.
This is an indication that were are reaching the end of this development cycle (just to enter a new one with a Beta release some time after).

Its really amazing to be honest.

Like going from base version of WitE to Gold WitE.

I would pay 20$ just for the patch.

Will current 1.07 patched games update to 1.08 or will we have to re-start?

Possible to play and benefit from most code improvements, but not from changes in all kinds of data (ground elements, aircraft, TOE, weapons).

Since there are so many changes would it not be better to change the official path to 1.10?

That's why it was changed from 1.07 to 1.08.
