Well, I printed the notes that came with the patch and it only goes up to item #63. That could be a problem with the response to ones higher than 63.

Status: offline 		Thank you Joe, Don, Michael, Nik and MAtrix for continuing to improve this game. How many other companies would continue to put out free patches for a game that was released 27 months ago?

There's a reason I keep coming back to WITP and you guys are a big part of it (as well as AB and the CHS crowd!).

Now all I need is an unemployed house martin opponent with no other PBEM games going to take advantage of the faster paced game processing. My only opponent Bill pumps out the turns at an amazing rate but he has 13 PBEMs going and I have 2, both against him. I end up watching the pot boil alot. Might finish a full campaign in a few months against someone with as much free game time as I have at the moment. A dozen or so turns a day is not unrealistic.

Yes, noticeably faster turn processing. BUT! Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that loading files, both turn and replay is now taking 2 or 3 times as long??

I've noticed this very thing, and I've also noticed that saving a turn easily takes 2-3 times as long. Bizarre. Six or a half dozen I guess!

I was only able to get this patch because of you. I'd imagine many others have found the same. Why are UK based players having trouble with the Matrix link timing out? Very frustrating!

Status: offline 		What is taking the time on loading is all the double checking of links to planes/leaders/fragments/etc to help correct any broken links which might end up with a unit/leader going missing.

These are corrective steps taken to ensure that older games can still keep going. And to safeguard against any other unexpected breakages.

Well, if this is not a fully justified and readily agreeable reason I don't know what is.

Status: offline 		Great Job!!!  Mine operations are much easier now.  I love the ops reports also getting unit arrivals/upgrades and the like.  I haven't noticed a major increase in turn speed, but I do have a much faster computer than I originally had.

I haven't noticed any delay in loading, but saving does seem to take longer, but it is well worth it.

Status: offline 		Saving does take a bit longer, but on the other hand I don't seem to have to wait 10 seconds after saving any more. I used to wait to ensure that I wouldn't crash after saving too quickly. Now, once I see the game-saved message, it seems safe to return to the game immediately. So if the save-crash bug has been fixed, that's another benefit of this new arrangement. For me, the save routine is actually a bit quicker now, heh.
