Hello...

No news yet, on patch.

Fair enough, I understand UV is a rather old game now and is not on top of the priorities list [:)]

The question is, though (and I know you saw it coming [;)]) : when ?

Regards.

Ok, understood (I think) [;)] Keep us updated if you can [:)]

Cool. Thanks for the update Mike.

Had no idea you had Gary helping you out as well! Excellent.

Hi guys, I have just gotten hold of a copy of this game and it looks to be a real gem, but I am wondering what patch I should settle on using?? what is the standard when playing PBEM games for instance... thanks

[jmkas]

You and your PBEM opponet must be at the same patch level for PBEM games to work - most seem to like 2.3, but check under the opponets wanted forum to see what is preferred.

[Maroc]

I am some way off a human opponent at present!! but I may as well get used to the way I will play when I get there... so 2.3 it is. thanks for the advice jmkas.... now then back to the manual...barges, barges... ah yes 8.20 page 32...[:)]

Long-Awaited Major Update Now Available!

Matrix Games and 2by3 Games (www.2by3games.com) are pleased to announce the release of the v1.80 update for the acclaimed War In The Pacific.

(snip)

More important are the fixes, which include an overhaul of the pilot tracking an allocation system, a fix for occasional “lost” leaders, a fix for land unit fragment loss and loss during air transport and many more.

Would that help in producing the next UV patch for the disappearing aircrafts ?

Thank you for the update! So there's still some hope for us UV veterans to see a new patch improving the game.

Message below, sent 10th April 2005 refers. Is a fix for this to be included? [&o]

Shortly after the start of Sc. 11 the computer moved TF 230 ( USS Drum - SS ) onto 19,30 - a land hex ! It is now immovable - although it is still registered as "at Sea".
Under a previous patch this error was "corrected" - possibley only for particular Sc. known. If another patch ( 2.42 ? ) is done (re disappearing C-47's ), can this be fixed also?

That's great news. I look forward to trying a PBEM at that point if I don't give in and try before then. [;)]

I'm having an interesting bug attack... A Japanese unit trying to disengage from battle on the beach near Lunga boarded one of my Allied submarines. I had 1300 Japs on a sub that can only carry 24 passengers. At first I didn't even notice that they were enemy troops and almost took them back to Nomea. Now I've spent about two weeks trying to get the drunken renegade Japs to get off my boat! I'm contemplating just sending the stupid thing back to pearl (Japs & all) & just intern them as POWs for remainder of scenario.

Mr Wood - Something else to work on!
( Copy forwarded in case you have not seen it. )

Ok, I wouldn't want to bump this but .... erhh ... ok ... I DO want to bump this :

BUMP !

[Mike Wethington]

Secret game? Something about Bletchley Park (you too can be Alan Turing!) or Purple? The long awaited PC port of TSRs Spies!?
&nbsp;
How about a good strategic level sim of WWI or the American Civil War ala WitP?
&nbsp;
We all await news.

[Skyfire7631]

Secret game ? Hmmm, yummy [:)]
&nbsp;
But what about a little last patch for UV before being commited too much with that secret game, hey ? [;)]

Hmmm, good point ... If that's the case, I take back what I said [:D]

Errh, come to think of it, no, actually : I'd still like a last patch for UV [;)]
