1.01 NON-beta patch?

[Princessjj1]

If I wanted to be a paying beta-tester I wouldn't have bought the game. We were told 1.01 should be out the beginning of this week. When can we expect to see it?

[gwgardner]

What's your problem? 1.0 was 100% playable, stable, fun. 1.1 will improve that, and has been available for several weeks. There have not been many bug reports for 1.1, so it's not like you had to make any effort as a 'paid playtester.'

Darkstar One,
We are hoping to have the patch released anytime now.
Matrix has got queue for games and patches released by them and we just need to stay in the line.

[Princessjj1]

With the amount of bugs in 1.0? Give me a break, please...

[doomtrader]

Are you experiencing any problems with 1.01 beta?

ORIGINAL: Darkstar One

With the amount of bugs in 1.0? Give me a break, please...

Funny. I played steadily after 1.0 was released. Cannot recall experiencing even one bug, other than an occasional freeze on multiplayer startup.

There were lots of suggestions for changes, but not complaints about bugs.

I have been in the software 'biz' for a while and its just about a given that dates don't get met. I for one would prefer to get the best guess for a release rather than no information at all (the usual response when dates are known not to be certain. I have seen relatively few bugs in this game. REMEMBER game balance and design flaws are NOT bugs and there is a lot of uncertainty regarding what exactly is the 'right' design. I am not certain of the exact relationships between the players (Slitherine Matrix Wasteland) but anytime you get more than three people involved it starts to get a bit bureaucratic (not always a bad thing as organizational structure is a requirement for any significant endeavor) At any rate no need to flame [:-] Darkstar One too harshly (well maybe just a little[;)])he asked a legitimate question just a bit undiplomatic in tone[:@].

Doomtrader on the other hand gave us the best information he had at the time and from what I remember from last week he said things like 'soon' and expected 'next week' not "1400 GMT Monday, 20 Feb".... Its clear he is not in control of the release process and is sharing what he knows. (BTW thanks)[:D][:D][:D]

I started a few games with 1.0, saw a list of changes was proposed and decided to wait for the "big" 1.01 patch so as not to relearn the game (sorry - WITE patches have slightly soured me). I downloaded the beta but for some reason it would not run properly and deleted and reloaded 1.0 and have been patiently waiting for the finall 1.01 patch.

My question is, will it be a patch or do we have to completely reinstall the game like the beta (I believe it was 500mg file)?

Thanks

[doomtrader]

AFAIK it should be the patch only which is only few megs

[comsolut]

Excellent.

Whats eating u being so of to people? I also playing the game alot and stoped because of different matters as russia war entry and free air units for England(ai) for example.
Also hoping that the patch will come so I could enjoy my game I bought for my food money .
Most expensive game for me so far this year. Hoping iit not become a dust collector.
Keep up the good work developers, u still got my support.

[doomtrader]

Thanks for the kind words Swedewolf.

We are doing our best to develop this game and to make it fun for you.

However some things are beyond us.

Any chance of either getting a patch release date from Eric, or failing that, posting the "final official" version of the patch that was sent to Matrix?

Still waiting...

[IainMcNeil]

Guys the delay is all on our end, not Wastelands Interactive. We have a number of issues and are understaffed at the moment for various reasons.

We're in the process of recruiting and the staff that were off are back in the office. We have around 10 updates we need to get out to people and are working our way through as fast as we can but we're struggling to keep up.

All we can do is aplogise and assure you we'll get to it as soon as possible.

Thanks for you patience & understanding.

[Princessjj1]

How long is "soon as possible"? You managed to get out the SEVENTH patch for GGWITE. This game is waiting on its FIRST. Last I checked we paid money too--maybe the game waiting for it's FIRST patch should have had priority???

[LiquidSky]

Relax...take your ritalin and go to school...

[gwgardner]

Darkstar, 1.1 beta has been out for a long time. Lots of people using it. I doubt if 1.1 official will be so much different from the beta.

[doomtrader]

1.01 is crucial for some multi players. For single player games it is not so important.

[Princessjj1]

So, squashing bugs isn't important to people playing single-player? You're joking, right?
