Status: offline 		The first patch fixes many CTDs and provides the save during detailed battle. It does NOT include an undo button - thats quite a bit of work, and WCS/Matrix want this first patch out fast.

As for when, well, it is getting really stable, and the CTDs and alt-tab issues seem fixed. I know of one pesky issue with the save button (after restoring from save some of the reports aren't picking up correctly). I'm hoping for late next week. (Remember, once the dev thinks it is fixed, the testing need a few days, and then putting it up takes a day or two.)

Your message was from the 17th which was last Sunday. Today is Thursday which would make today roughly "late next week". Any update on progress? Is it imminent or should we temper our expectations?

Status: offline 		Good to hear. I just purchased the game, began a game as Sweden and was thoroughly enjoying myself. The brits attacked me (with Wellington in command), but despite being outnumbered, I held my own -- and killed Wellington. Think were just starting to get interesting when I CTD'd... Very disapointing, and not a good way to make me be glad I purchased this game.

Are you guys using App Verifier and a debug environment for your testers? I think that this is critical, and will help avoid issues like this one.

Just a thought...

Status: offline 		Maybe it is just me, but I have only had one CTD in detailed combat. Yesterday I played through three detialed battles with about 300000 troops combined in each battle. The one thing I did differently was to save just before I run the turn. When I do this I have not had the CTDs.

Thanks for the update. A little communication goes a long way.

What do you mean when you say you "save before I run the turn"?? You can't save during detailed combat. I have crashed almost every time I have tried detailed combat. Sometimes after an hour, which is most frustrating. I'm putting the game aside until I can patch it so it doesn't crash. I hope it is soon as gameplay is great.

I haven't suffered from any crashes so far (possibly coz I didn't dictate detail battles very often). Just curious if I may yet get far more than my fair share of crashes hereafter, even after the patch, to make myself an equal victim to you guys. d(~.~)b

i got eric to write a filter, so you can open 1.0 saves in 1.1, but unf not v.v. (So all players in a pbem will need to upgrade at the same time.)

seems to work fine!

Jonnie

do you have the newest vidio drivers ?

I have had 2 crashes this week, since I updated my drivers, it seems to help out a lot (still, something is there, as it is not 100% gone)

from my other post, I have had a battle with close to 700,000 troops in it, and no crash (but, was worried that whole turn, as they do happen sometimes)

I'd like to get the undo feature in the 2nd patch, though can't absolutely promise it.

As Steve mentioned, the next patch should most likely be backwards compatible with 1.0 save files.

The WCS staff prefers the Ann Arbor Shalimar over Raja Rani's, though only by a slim margin.
