Matrix Games Forums

I just noticed this from Matrix homepage. Was it a slip to have it as there hasn't been a peep on either forum? Can't wait to get this add on package! Great approach to give us more battles, regional in 1862, and some more grand campaign options. I hope CWII is getting the sales it deserves for all responsible.

Looks like it's mostly the rest of the campaigns that came with the original AACW game, plus Gettysburg and Atlanta scenarios. I wondered why they didn't include those campaigns in CW2; now we know. It's OK, I'm in.

The Matrix writeup for Bloody Road mentions it will use update 1.03.

Not heard about 1.03. Any news on it available? What will be fixed? What will be added? When will it be released and last but not least...

Will we have to buy Bloody Road to get it?

Buy? No Idea!

1.03 is supposed to be out sometime next month.

I'm sure the patch will be available with or without the expansion. The expansion is really the extra campaigns and scenarios.

I am also sure the patch will be available without the expansion. I am going to buy this as soon as it comes out!

Where is it? Is it available in the part of the world that is past Feb. 5th now?

Only a guess but they usually post their patches, etc. on Fridays.

available in the part of the world that is past Feb. 5th now?

According to the Matrix Games front page it was released on the 5th. However there is still no option to purchase when you click on the link to the product page.

I am a little perplexed at that as well. I went looking last night and am now looking again.

Better a day late and a good pack, then on time and a bad pack.

It is out - downloading it now. About 1Gb in size, so it will take a while on my slow connection.

WTF! Do we have to pay for the patch?

No, but The Bloody Road South requires it, hence why it is included the download.

Yes the patch will be available without the expansion. We are still working on integrating it in to the update system so don't worry it will come once we've completed the testing!

Pocus over at the AGEOD forums has just announced that Matrix are changing the way they release patches, and the 1.03 update encountered some technical issues as a result but will be out in a few days.

Yeah, no problem getting it in the expansion though. Pocus also said the patch in the addon is big, and the free one will be "slimmer". What does that mean? The free patch won't have as many fixes, features?

I think it means that Matrix are changing the way they deliver patches, and that the 1.03 stand alone patch will be considerably smaller in size that the 1Gb size of The Bloody Road. Obviously the stand alone patch is not going to have the content of the addon, but I have seen nothing to indicate that otherwise the update will not be the same.

Great! Will grab when get home from work tonight. I needed to get back to this game anyway, was distracted by all the games from the holiday sale for awhile. [:)]

I am happy the expansion pack was released. It makes the game playable for those of us with a life and/ or short attention spans [:D]. Thanks a lot. Just what the doctor ordered.
