Hi guys

The team have been hard at work and have the first patch ready for a public beta 1.01. It includes a host of changes and fixes and even a new scenario!

You can download the beta patch here:

Full Change Log:

Patch 1.01

Release Date: September 27, 2013

How to update your game:

This patch is a comprehensive patch. It can upgrade to latest version any previous version of CW2.

Exceptionally, you'll be prompted again for your serial key. This is because we are updating the file storing it, so we can disable turn compression by default for all users (increased stability). Sorry for the inconvenience.


LIST OF CHANGES

    Bonus Scenario

      There is a new mid-sized scenario proposed in this patch, the West Campaign, featuring the operations of famous generals Grant, Sherman, Johnston and a few others well-known faces. This campaign lasts 24 turns and is a great stepping-stone for people wanting to prepare for the Grand Campaign!

    Interface

      Flag fluttering is stopped during hosting.

      Scrolling is now done 3 messages at a time in message panel (half of message panel height).

      Leaders masking others stacks in region get more informative tooltips

      Tab in ledger renamed

      Changed the look of some CSA flags

    Gameplay

      Blockade Runner 'income' increased (were suffering from the reduction from 'easy OMB handling')

      Development level increases moderately movement cost (-20% speed in wild region, -10% in cleared, no change above)

      Weather will be more variable depending of the grand weather zones.

      Neutral units can't pillage your regions.

      Battle planner will only trigger if a battle is certain. At most 5 deployments shown and usable.

    AI

      Recon&Raid max distance from 5 to 2 regions

      AI Aggressivity down, overall and in Mid-Atlantic particularly

      AI dismiss brigades more often resulting in improved formations with more punch!

      Optimized slightly AI recruitments

      Unlocked Tennessee in July

      Added rail repair fastest attribute (x2) to engineers and pioneers

      Fixed movement type of rangers (and 'light' units) to avoid their frequent 'walk on water' capabilities, plus a terrain cost was fixed

      Fixed some VA multiple entry ports

vonRocko -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/27/2013 8:00:08 PM)

Thanks for getting this out for the weekend. Has the corp formation bug been fixed? I don't see it on the list.

edit: Sorry,I see it now.



Rekm41 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/27/2013 8:17:48 PM)

Thank you thank you.. :)



Rekm41 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/27/2013 8:22:56 PM)

LOL. You have Capitol spelled incorrectly. No e at the end. eg Annapolis



Boomer78 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/27/2013 10:44:49 PM)

Thanks. Gonna try it out this weekend. Glad these things listed were first priority.



Toro12 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/27/2013 11:51:04 PM)

If I might, I like the icon for damaged rails, but I think it needs to be a bit more noticeable. I'll let the designers work on exactly how, but with the initial issue in Baltimore, I probably wouldn't have noticed it right away if I didn't expect it w/ a new game. Maybe a notification script?



Pocus -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/28/2013 9:17:37 AM)

Corps formation is fixed indeed



Maesphil74 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/28/2013 11:00:36 AM)

Thanks. Have been fooling around with the smaller scenarios. Now it's time to fire her up for a grand campaign!



melvi -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (9/30/2013 7:58:40 PM)

Hello,

First of all thanks for all the work you doing to improve the game.
I downloaded this new patch and i have started a new big campaign. One of the first things i realiced is that all unit icons now have only 2 chevrons on the left upper side regardless of the regiments quantity that form the brigade. Another thing is that raised units to react an enemy invasion now come with unfixed militias. Before patch when this event happened i have had one cavalry and artillery "movable" regiments and 2 fixed miltia regiments.

Regards:

Melvi

I am gonna add that all units that have more than one regiment, brigades with only one regiment have none chevron



melvi -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/1/2013 12:32:32 PM)

I think in 1.00 battles removed the "fixed unit" that garrison units had, not sure though. But this happened to me today.

The garrison units in fort Monroe are still fixed after the battle. Maybe a bug?

melvi -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/1/2013 12:49:57 PM)

Umhh i am going to answer myself ( i cant see the "edit" button in my previous post) . There is a difference in the upper right ribbon. There is one dark red that means fixed units and there is another black? one that "only" mean "slow units". That last one is the ribbon i can see in my units in Ft Monroe. I hope you can add those to a division. Ill try in couple turns since i cant form divisions yet.

Melvi.

PD: Btw this new "slow units" is a very, very nice detail. 8)



aspqrz02 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/1/2013 4:17:32 PM)

Um, is this patch supposed to include the graphics for Siege Artillery?

I have installed it and the Siege Artillery units are still blank ... not a graphic in sight!

Phil



melvi -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/1/2013 5:17:26 PM)

Yup, they sure are 8)

aspqrz02 -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/2/2013 1:39:00 AM)

Well, then I have a problem.

I have installed and reinstalled and they are not appearing, even on newly started games.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Ah. Rotten installer installed it in a SEPARATE folder rather than OVER the existing files. Had to move the files across manually. All pretty now!

Phil



Pocus -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 4:07:30 PM)

EDITED OUT: next release candidate postponed until Monday, sorry gents.



wosung -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 4:33:18 PM)

Thanks for the patch, Pocus.

However when I just tried to apply it to a working last 1.01 patch version I got:

Setup was unable to create the directory AACW2\CW2\graphics\logos*
Error 123 wrong syntax

Best regards



wosung -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 4:44:19 PM)

What happened next is I aborted patching.
Restarted AACW2 and got:

Stettings: Erroneous value or family alias while reading an AI affinity Reading affinity 1-7



JohnBar -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 4:55:16 PM)

Likewise. Same error message. Still occurs after I aborted, and rolled back.



Pocus -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 5:05:37 PM)

After this last minute problem, I was able to upload (and testing it with a working release version of CW2) another patch, without the error.

If you don't mind, please head to

Monday, normal operations will resume, rest assured. This end of week is just a bit of a rush [;)]



wosung -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 5:47:57 PM)

Great.
2nd CW2 PB 1.01 RC3 is no problem to install. It also loads a save game from CW2 PB 1.01 RC1. (Using save games, NOT resume)
I had to refill the user key form. And re-change to my custom setting.

What also worked after rerolling from corrupt First CW2 PB 1.01 RC3: Re-installing CW2 PB 1.01 RC1.

And:
Corrupt First CW2 PB 1.01 RC3: 13,6 MB
Good 2nd CW2 PB 1.01 RC3: 10,6 MB

Best regards & have a nice weekend!



JohnBar -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/4/2013 8:19:05 PM)

Didn't work for me- still the same error. So I uninstalled entirely and reinstalled with first patch, and all well. I was losing that game big time anyway.[:)] I'll await developments after the weekend before I try installing the new patch again . No worries!



bbbwl -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/15/2013 12:30:04 AM)

I hope this fixes two of my biggest issues with the new game. The first was that the south could not form Corps even well into 1863, it looks like it does but does not mention the South. The other is in the game save feature. In the original game (or patch to the original game) you could save the same game under different names (not just change the name of the game being saved). I really like this feature as it allowed you to a certain point and save it in more then one spot. Allowing you to load a saved game, and replay it under a different name. This was one of my favorite parts of the game. It allowed for setting up events ( like British entry) and play them from all sides with out having to redo all the work to get back to that point.



Ace1_slith -> RE: Public Beta v1.01 Available (10/15/2013 8:17:58 AM)

Not exactly what you were looking for, but you can always put shortcut to your save game folder, copy the game files to different folder, restart and rename it. It is a nice workaround.
