My e-troops don't unload OVER THE BEACH anymore, see:

Re: New AE Update - Update
Any chance we can get a list of the changes while we wait? Thanks for all you do.

Re: New AE Update - Update
The Beta team is waiting on Matrix to release the next beta version unfortunately...

Erik first proposed this on 4 Dec 2021, and despite some finding of problems with scenarios and map data, not much more has been discussed or revealed.
1. Is this idea still being actively worked on? If so, by one person or a team like the original WiTP-AE?
2. If it is active, is there a rough estimate for when a completed update (or official beta) will be available?
3. If this is a team effort, who is the team leader?
4. Erik's original post mentions adapting graphics settings for use with 4K displays. Is this still being looked at?
Any information will be appreciated and I'm not criticizing, just curious.
2. We are waiting on matrix.
3. Joe Wilkerson
4. I beleive so.
Stay turned....GP

Re: New AE Update - Update
It would be nice to know if the new Beta and map would be compatible with the latest release and map so I could start doing the initial turn . . .

Re: New AE Update - Update
I think that representation "publish" is incorrect Tanaka (if you mean what I think here). There will be a patch file with notes no doubt that will bring the game from the last beta version to a final, normal version. It should allow us to install from disk and apply this last patch directly to have the final version of WITP:AE.
But no re-release or any fancy discs or the like.

"Beta 2? Splendid! Where do I sigh?"
Re: New AE Update - Update
Sigh on the dotted line where Beta 2 was being finished up in January. It takes 8 months to release after completion so far...think of all of the testing we could have been doing in that time...SIGHHHHHHH
