With the achknowledged problems with fueling/arming and the scenario editor is there an ETA on the patch?

I'm wondering about this too. Perhaps it's being delayed because they want it to be more than just "oh, we fixed a problem!" but want to add a new scenario? [&:]

I agree, if they are taking extra time to A)make sure the problems are fixed for good and B)add some MUCH NEEDED scenarios, then yeah, I say take all the time you need.

I fear that you are thinking too positive Grasshopper, one must only look to the abundant deprivation of Battlefront scenarios[&o].

Yeah SSG dont answer all at once.

This is sad, I should have bought something else. I have been happy with the progress on CEAW (commander Europe at War) the company is following up on patches and updates us regularly in the forum.

Hi Guys,
 
We are pretty close with the patch - not sure of an eta, but we are currently testing the installer.

YAY!!!!! [&o]

Kind of stupid to ask; but will the patch include a slightly more detailed explanation of how to arrive at the ratings you did and how the various factors of an aircraft interact?

Like how do you get such and such firepower, power, etc ratings?

Great to hear that a patch is on it's way.

Hi Ryan,
No, the patch wont include that info, but I'll point Ian to this post - he's the man that calculates that sort of info. He's just left for a 3 week stay in the US, so he may take a little while to respond.

Please don't hassle Alex, I think we would all agree that his time is best spent on working on the patch. As mentioned elsewhere, I've been away on holidays but I'm back now and will try to answer all questions in a timely fashion.

More generally, please remember that you are dealing with a very small company. This has a lot of advantages, in that you deal direct with the decision makers and your opinions and suggestions go direct to those who make the games.

The downside is that we can't always offer instant replies to questions, since inevitably life outside SSG (such as it is) will take us away from the keyboard.

Welcome back, hope you had a nice holiday.[:)]

I was curious if there will be any new scenarios in the patch?

The holiday was great, lots of history seen and enjoyed! There is no new scenario in the patch, they take quite a lot of work and we have concentrated instead on adding some enhancements and requested features to the game as well as fixing all the known bugs.

We're just about to test what we hope is the final installer now, so the patch won't be too much longer, but I can't give an exact date at this stage.

Lets hope the editor is fixed, or some type of randomness is added to the current scenarios......... or else for the majority of us the patch is useless. We all have finished playing the small amount of scenarios included with the games (a SHAMEFUL amount of scenarios for the price we paid) and need more to play. Fixing the bugs without adding any scenarios means we have nothing to play still aside from the same handfull of scenarios we have all gown tired of playing.

Regardless though it is good to see the patch is almost finished. Hopefully now you will start working on what is probably the most important thing for the long term future of this game,..... fixing the severe lack of scenarios.

Deleted- meant to edit the above post, not make a new one.

Have you actually played this game? If so, how do you make the above comment?
I agree, more scenarios would be nice and they will come, either from the community or as a supplemental from SSG.
The number of scenarios was known before purchase and, in fact, are the same scenarios that came with the original. The extras were supplied with Run Five and the upgraded game, Complete Carriers at War. There is nothing discracefull here.

Yeah, I own it. I suggest you scroll down and read the forums a little. I am not going over the problems with the game yet again. Quite a few people have posted what the games problems are, specifically too few scenarios and the lack of replayability. All you have to do is read a little. Its not like there is a lot of activity here lately (wonder why?), so those posts shouldnt be hard to find.

Oh!
I didn't infer that you didn't own it. It's just that I'm surprised that someone who's played it was not aware of the randomness.
Oh well, it takes all sorts.
Have a nice day, as they say, and keep smiling.
Cheers
