Hello All,

Some more changes to this beta update. It improves AI performance, especially in the Ukraine during '41, addresses some Editor issues, improves mouse functions, and addressed the performance issues some customers were seeing on slower systems, along with a number of other bugs. You can download it here GGWarintheEast-Update-v101-Beta4.exe We should be making it official in a day or two, if all goes well.

v1.01 Beta 4 – December 15, 2010

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug that restored admin points previously expended by undoing a unit's strategic movement.
  • Fixed it so Shift-T cannot be used if the unit does not fulfill the requirements in 7.5.4.1.
  • Corrected the map data in hex 80,40 in Velikie Luki scenario.
  • Fixed a typo in the HQ switch leader check pop-up that spelled "succeeded" as "succeded".

The release of WitE.
Then patch after patch at a time - Santa Claus is very busy in recent days.

Ho - ho - ho [:)]

We had a slight mixup in version control on the Beta 4 patch, and the first 5 items listed in the list of Bug Fixes did not get into the Beta 4 (only the AI change was in the patch). This is being corrected now and there should be another patch soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. FYI, over the holidays we hope to set up and start using version control software which should help prevent this kind of thing, and allow us to begin work on future products while making sure that all future WitE changes get into the future games as well.

If I start my 41 Campaign now will any future chanegs be applicable to it or will I have to start again for some of them a la WITP AE?

I may include some data fixes in to coming soon patch. These will require a restart "a la WITP-AE"..

Hmm. What's the ETA for the the patch? I may hold off starting my GC......
 
Thanks

Soon

Soon as in today?[;)]

Today or tomorrow.

Excellent. Thanks Joel. I'll hold off starting my GC in that case
