We haven't heard of any messages about the progress of 3.4 patch for a quite long time. Is the patch still in process or just having been tested for a while ? Personally, I'm afraid that the coming patch will give away to a completely new version, can it be true?

Was wondering the same meself. I thought it was going to be out by this month. [&:]

Still testing. Seems there are a couple of new builds every month. I'm not in the beta team loop so I don't know what exactly, if anything, is being hammered on.

We had Ralph solid through January, then only one sighting since. I guess he got busy with his real job. Everything is finished except for some graphics busts that the Alpha Channel thing introduced. But, we're stuck there without Ralph.

Git the possee.

I sure liked what I read about this coming out, but I can't remember where I read it now?! Anyway, I am eagerly waiting this addition To TOAW3. [&o]

Hi!
So what is the situation with the new patch? [&:] I'm sooo impatient... New rules and alpha graphics mod all seems very nice stuff [:)]

It seems like this is dead?! [:(]

Doubtful. Ralph does have a normal life, and it does get in the way of 'fun'.

He will return, when he has time.

Last thing I heard was he was polishing, nailing down the last workable bugs, and getting it ready for delivery.

I've sent him emails, and am awaiting returns. Believe me - the life of a programmer (real-life, not 'fun') is not easy. Being a boss/leader (on top of it) isn't either...

Patience, lads....[:D]

That's good news. I thought maybe it fell through the cracks of life. I don't know any specifics of this update\patch, whatever it is, I just know what I saw looked good.

I too am, or more appropriately was a programmer. It isn't easy, it's a thankless job, and it requires more work than always expected. It's hard.

Right then!

Ralph has posted on his "Developement blog", with a proviso that he will be sending another 'beta test' to the Team. Work continues, eh?

According to Bob Cross, not only does the code need to be finished, but there's going to be a wait for 'new scenarios'......

The important part of this msg is "Work Continues"!

Get some, Ralph!

Nice,

Cant wait for the update, any chance of a list of fixes/added items?

Thanks

Judging by this thread, you will be lucky when you see the patch...

A new version? Riiighhhhttttt... Just look how long is one patch taking, and then multiply it by an entire new version, and what you get? 'Combined Arms 2'... [:D]

If someone feels as I do that toaw would best be served by completing the unfinished naval combat, your ship has come in. There's a new game with a global scope, production, and yes, functional naval combat. For a game that doesn't bog itself into a detail before realism fiasco like this game, it offers much more detail than toaw for the larger scenarios. Ralph is never going to take toaw to the next level for large scenarios, but has already decided to go in another direction, catering to smaller scenarios. You're not likely to see me on this forum anymore, as this game has become obsolete for my purposes, which won't bother some. If there's a way I can sell my copy legally with Matrix's permission, $20 takes it. I'm sorry(you have no idea) for wasting so much time trying to make this game into something it will never be. Good luck!

Sounds like you need a new girlfriend dude.

What game are you talking about? I'm sure it's OK to mention

macgregor,
What game are you talking about?

Probably WitP:AE. Though that isn't so new anymore...

I don't know what your beef is with me Larry, coming from someone who puts far more time into gaming than I, but I have a new game at any rate, and it is awesome. Check it out on ACG. That's all I'll say.

oooooookay, guess I'm a bit out of it. What is ACG anybody?
