The patch is finished and being prepared for release. Really.



goodwoodrw -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/1/2009 10:35:22 PM)

good stuff [:D]



WallysWorld -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/2/2009 4:43:00 AM)

Woo! Woo!



goodwoodrw -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/2/2009 10:02:33 AM)

well u got me on AFD i believed u.



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/2/2009 3:28:13 PM)

I said it was "being prepared," and that is usually a multi-day process. The patch itself has been prepared, but still has to be checked over to make sure the installer works, the files are all there, etc.



Hard Sarge -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/2/2009 4:36:18 PM)

oh yea, I love it when you release a patch with out any files in it



habakuk -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/2/2009 11:38:47 PM)

Great news! Finally ... [:D]

Any chance of seeing this today? I'd love to fire up a new game for the weekend. [:)]



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/3/2009 11:25:40 PM)

It's unclear whether it can be released this weekend. We hit upon a rather annoying snag that has held us up. Of course, after the various unanticipated delays in finishing the patch, this was almost to be expected...



michaelincolorado -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/4/2009 1:08:13 AM)

Hey, Gil, thanks to you and Eric and your untiring work years after the initial release. I am not even ready to get immersed in your new CoG release and really favor the Civil War period but plan on buying your new title (and anything else) as a measure of support to a really, really fine company and some gifted and classy craftsmen! Thanks, you guys are the best in wargaming.

Michael

You won't be disappointed. CoGEE is an awesome game. I wish the naval battles in FoF were like the ones in CoGEE.



Randomizer -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/4/2009 1:48:59 AM)

Thanks in advance from this corner as well.

I have every confidence that the patch will arrive when it is ready and meet (or exceed) the standards that we have come to expect from WCS.  It is very good for us that the desire to get it right overrides the desire to get it out.

And yes, CoG-EE is outstanding.

Best Regards



kingwanabee -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/4/2009 6:38:37 PM)

Gil -

Would you be able to post the list of fixes and updates in the patch? I assume it won't be saved game compatible?

Thanks



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/5/2009 3:55:03 AM)

All,
Thanks for the sentiments, though in this case they're not fully deserved. It's quite frustrating to know that the patch is ready, but partly for technical reasons and partly for logistical reasons it's being delayed. This is the week, though, even if I have to release an illegal copy on Rapidshare!

kingwanabee,
I don't have handy the list, but I can tell you that it fixes all of the bug issues that have been the cause of complaint, plus it has some new stuff. It definitely breaks saves.

Please, please be a separate detailed battle generator with built in edit. [&o]

I know it's next to impossible but a strategy gamer can dream. [:'(] I fired up ye olde 'Age of Rifles' last night and it made me think of the detailed battles in FoF. Great stuff!



kingwanabee -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/7/2009 11:05:55 PM)

How are the technical issues coming along? Unfortunately, today is the last day of my vacation.[:(] There goes all my free time for FOF.

Gentle bump since hump-day is passing into history.

Best Regards



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/9/2009 5:45:58 AM)

Sorry, no new news. There's another issue that needs to be resolved, and then we'll have a better idea.



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/10/2009 7:32:05 AM)

A quick update: the installer build had to be redone because about 40MB of superfluous files crept in, so we're now testing the new version. According to the first tester to take a look, it seems to check out. If the installer is indeed working properly and complete it still might not be possible to release it before Monday because of the holiday(s). But at least it's now looking like there is no other reason for further delay.



tgb -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/10/2009 6:08:33 PM)

Isn't the patch kosher?

marcbarker -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/11/2009 4:59:30 PM)

what about those of us under no guise of a religeous prefence....can we get the update sooner?



Floyd -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/11/2009 11:55:05 PM)

All the hickups deserve a readme.pdf - post it!



tgb -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/14/2009 3:13:31 PM)

We're all dying to start a new game with the patch. What's the status?



Oliver Heindorf -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/14/2009 6:21:56 PM)

i dont wait i play [:)]  the patch seems to be a ghost [;)]



Gil R. -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/14/2009 7:00:30 PM)

I've been doing everything in my power to get us ready for release, and may just have hit upon a solution to the one problem currently holding up the patch.



Randomizer -> RE: Not an April Fool's joke (4/14/2009 7:11:58 PM)

Thanks Gil; I suspect that most of us (myself for sure) would rather you get the patch Right as opposed to Right-Now.

Best Regards
