How long does that Apple approval process normally take? Both out of curiosity, but also because I'm currently stuck on the Naval AI bug, it'd be good to have some idea of the timeline involved.

Apparently up to 8 working days we have submitted last Monday, we are nail-biting here as well...

From this patch on we have changed the numbering scheme between Slith servers and the engine and how they communicate, so yes after this patch froward we will no longer be kept hostage by the slow Apple approval process

Side note, the new 1.6 Beta patch we want to release as fast as possible as soon as 1.5.2 is life on Steam. More news next week.

Are we up to 7 working days today? I'm just trying to figure out when the patch will be coming. Apple needs to move their rear ends, there are grognards looking for a fix here!!!

Ayup, I've been checking Steam daily to see if it's updated. Sadly, still no update.

Apple`s approval and patch process policy shows how much they care about their App customers really.

Sorry guys, we are irritated as well and all we can do is wait... it is disgrace IMHO.

No need to apologise Lord Zimoa. It's Apple that's the holdup as we all understand.

Let me second OzHawkeye's thoughts. Anyway, it isn't like the game isn't playable, I'm just looking forward to some improvements. Still, it really does feel like Apple has transformed into the Microsoft of a decade and a half ago. Funny how times change.....

Unfortunately for me it is - my current game is stuck on the Naval AI bug, and I've been reluctant to start another until I finish this one, though I might just have to bite the bullet and make a new game.

Hi not just Serbia is re-balanced,every Country in the game,has been re-balanced,this has been done mainly due to,the fixing off the Free Upkeep allowance issue,which as you can see from this photo, highlighted in red,is now showing Upkeep costs in game for their respective Countries.These changes will all be included in the game play patch I'm busy working on,Patch 1.6

Look on the bright side,the 1.6 beta patch,game play wise,is better in every way,and should be ready for beta testing,by you guys within a couple off weeks,once given approval by the powers that be.

Sounds great Kirk, thanks. But now I really can't start a game knowing this is coming.

I thought you needed to wait for the iPad version? That doesn't seem to be released yet.

Got the patch and gave it a weekend test run with the CP's.
Winter of 1916 is coming and I can say the game is pretty balanced. While I was able to finish a game before in the year 1915. The war is not over this time. I neglected the Russians a bit too much which gave them a chance to advance as far as Berlin. The overstretched however and the reinforcements were able to pocket the Russian spearhead.

In the west, france and UK loweredn their effort to support the Italian attack. Combined with very succesfull gas artillery attacks from germany, I was able to take Paris. However the sub war got America involved so upcoming reinforcements might still change the tide.

So fun game guys! thanks for all the efforts.
