Worked, thanx.




IainMcNeil -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 9:30:00 AM)

I think the login issue is that the members club and forum were on diffrent systems and have diofferent usernames & passwords. It's possible for you to havwe the e-mail address registered with both as different usernames. You'd need to get a password reset from the indiviaul systems. Merging these together is on our list of things to do but its pretty messy as we have to unravel all teh existing users awith accounts on both anmd somehow merge them together.

All serials from SLitherine & Matrix are supposed to be in this beta installer. Can you check you didnt enter any extra spaces before or after.




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 12:51:42 PM)

Nope Cut and paste only. And yes I do have two user names for this email. Thats why I couldnt create a new one. I forgot about this as it was in the beginning when I problrm with my first game I bought and couldnt get support with my forum name.




doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 3:21:44 PM)

The links are updated.

Those who were not able to run the installer, please download it once again

freeboy -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 4:40:18 PM)

thank you for your ongoing efforts..
The beta now works..




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 7:16:31 PM)

another CRC error please reinstall. [:(]
but I like the new start up pic [:)]




doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 9:24:25 PM)

Did you managed to install it?




LiquidSky -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/23/2012 11:52:14 PM)



I was successful in installing the new Beta download. Havent had time to do more then dabble with it.




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/24/2012 3:55:51 AM)

Yes I was, no problems before trying to start it. What does this error means?

Hmm this is irritating, my working version 1.00 now also CRC error when starting [:(]

Why is this?




IainMcNeil -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/24/2012 9:39:04 AM)

This means something has changed relating to the original installation. You may have inadvertently moved a file or overwritten something when installing the beta. Best thing to do is reinstall the original game.




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/25/2012 3:49:28 AM)

Worked. See my entry in tech support. But even after a reinstall of the beta (1.01b) I getting an ofset error when starting a scenario.
So no beta testing for me it seams.




laska2k8 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/25/2012 8:52:42 AM)

something to mention:

- installing the patch into the dir "C:\TOF" all new files are written in the dir "C:\TOF\Time of Fury BETA", if you run "tof.exe" from there you get errors loading the scenarios .

- copying all content from the beta dir to the default one seems resolve the problem.

- there are two exe's, tof.exe and TimeOfFury.exe, the first one is the beta.

hope it helps




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (1/25/2012 9:04:17 AM)

I will try that, thanx. [:)]




doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/8/2012 8:20:18 PM)

I have sent the 1.01 for final review.

Below is the summarized list of all changes/fixes/improvements in the game. I know that not all of you are happy with the implementation and how the game mechanisms works, but please remember this is more B&P game with many aspects beneath, rather that hardcore WW II simulator.
Please keep in mind that I together with rest of the team are doing our best to make the game as moddable and accessible as possible. It is really, really easy to make the game fit your own point of view.

Have fun and write some AARs

oldspec4 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/8/2012 9:01:26 PM)

Lots of fixes/corrections here but the most important to me is the uber panzer issue. Has the game been modified to prevent or tone down the AI's super German panzer corps?

Thanks.




miki -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/9/2012 7:43:20 PM)

What about increasing german infantry tech from lvl 1 to lvl 2?

They invented the modern infantry squad - rifles, lmg, grenades, inf-at weapons - after all, and their provision of light machine guns at all units levels was prodigious at war's begining.




doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/9/2012 10:07:03 PM)

miki, I think it will unbalance the game too much.

On the other hand this change requires to switch only one digit.




oldspec4 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/9/2012 10:55:01 PM)


Bump for doomtrader. There is a lot to like about the game [&o]...but I don't want to invest time on another Russian grand campaign and experience the super strength panzers.

doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/10/2012 7:43:47 AM)

We didn't implemented any experience or effectiveness cap, so the German Panzers can be very strong again.
However this will be much more complicated now as with the changes above the upkeep cost is now increased and also every unit is losing some of its strength in every battle. Also the reinforcement based on supply levels is now much more restricted.
But the main reason of existing uberpanzers is the warfare doctrine bonus. It is very high for Germans and very low for Soviets, so this is what really makes the difference between those two armies. So the real problem is rather in "untermenschen" here than in uberpanzers. If you consider that the Germans are having 25% bonus for each warfare level and Soviets only 10% bonus and add, that Germans are at least 1 level higher at the moment of Barbarossa, then you finish with at least 40%-55% effectiveness gap. So indeed the Germans are already better experienced as this is third or fourth campaign for some of the units, also German commanders are better than Soviets.

So like in real world we come to a situation where German tanks were unstoppable for Soviet infantry.

If you are referring to the situation described by on of the players where Germans were occupying one of the cities deep in the USSR, so first of all. The units was not surrounded, so in my opinion there was limited possibility to reinforce and resupply it.

The best example describing German superiority over Soviets is in my opinion Leningrad campaign. Take a look at the size of the forces on both sides and losses every time the Soviets were trying to lift the siege. 5-10 times larger Soviet forces took 10 times higher casualties and were not able to break trough.




oldspec4 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/10/2012 11:33:17 AM)

Thanks for the response. The increased upkeep costs and the more restricted reinforcement are good improvements to game balance and resulting gameplay.

Is it the 999th Light Afrika Division?




bcgames -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/20/2012 12:14:11 AM)

Is there a projection on when will this patch be made official?




wolf14455 -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/20/2012 1:48:23 PM)

I soon forget how to play this game. When is the patch ready?




doomtrader -> RE: patch 1.01 - Work in progress (2/20/2012 4:06:02 PM)

Actually the patch is ready for quite some time, however there is a line in the Matrix queue, I think it should be released this week.

Is the patch submitted to Matrix exactly the same as the current Beta, or does it contain further improvements?

Cool. [:D]
