Mantuvec -> War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 2:25:07 PM)

A new patch (v 01.00.11) for War in the East 2 has been released, and you can download it HERE

​​​​​​​​​
What's new:


New Features and Rule Changes

• Reduced the likelihood that ground elements type SP Artillery and Heavy SP Artillery will become 
involved in direct fire ground combat. 
• CV values on map for mountain units in mountain hexes and ski units in heavy snow now reflect 
their CV modifiers.


Bug Fixes and AI Improvements
• Creating multiplayer games while the PBEM button was turned on in the main menu causes problems with the MP game. Fixed. This will fix any existing server game when it is downloaded.
• Crash to desktop on loading using 1.00.07, caused by duplicate font loading for some rare system settings. Fixed.
• Crash to desktop at end of logistics, caused by changing the HQ of a unit In Transfer from a TB (should not be able to do this). Fixed.
• Non-replacement panzer battalions are incorrectly automatically merging into Panzer Divisions. Fixed.
• Troops cut off in Leningrad area incorrectly considered in supply during German turn and rout over lake. Fixed.
• No ground support is flying during attacks on city forts. Fixed.
• Many duplicate AOGs are appearing for the German player. Fixed.
• Hotkey for soft factors skips combat prep and fatigue. Fixed.
• AI - AI air assist is creating depots (it should not). Fixed.
• AI - Some Soviet AI frozen units are still moving 1 hex. Fixed.
• AI - Made it less likely that AI units will move illegally to escape from a near pocket.
• AI – Soviet AI moves frozen units (on Romanian border on turn 1 and out of Moscow). Fixed.• AI - Axis AI is illegally taking control of Soviet hexes far in the Soviet rear in StoB and RAR scenarios. Also, sometimes Axis AI units warp into these hexes. Fixed.
• AI - Soviet AI moves into occupied enemy hex in Velikie Luki scenario and forces Axis unit to warp 
away. Fixed.
• AI - Germans take Osinovets and Soviet still moves unit onto Lake Ladoga. Fixed.
• AI – Improved Soviet AI attacks in Red God of War.
• AI – Improved AI use of reserve and refit modes.
• AI – Improved Soviet defense of Moscow in 42 and made some improvements in Soviet defense
of Leningrad in 41/42.
• AI - Improved the system that replays first player AI scripts on the first turn of the game. The script 
should now more accurately recreate what the designer set up in the script.

OberGeneral -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 3:15:44 PM)

Thank you for the new fixes.[&o]

Download link does not work yet! I jumped the gun I guess.[:D]




Bamilus -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 4:12:54 PM)

This looks to be same as the beta (or nearly) patch released on April 23, just an FYI so people know.




OberGeneral -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 5:09:57 PM)

Yes. You are right. Nothing new in the notes.[:(]




Erik Rutins -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 6:38:35 PM)

Correct, we do public beta updates and after we've seen that they are stable, we then make them official updates. Some customers prefer not to play with the betas.

With that said, we are also about to release a new public beta to replace the old one.




Bamilus -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 7:02:53 PM)

Thanks, Erik. Looking forward to it.




king171717 -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 7:40:47 PM)

will this affect save files against the ai on the full 1941-45 campaign?




carlkay58 -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 7:53:16 PM)

No but the changes for OBs and scenarios will not take place in old games.




balto -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/27/2021 8:23:52 PM)

The "CHECK FOR UPDATES" button does not work on the Intro screen, or whatever it is called. It said I was "up to date" despite me being at the previous version (.007 or something like that).

Downloaded fine manually though, thanks.

loki100 -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 7:59:53 AM)

yes, anything that is in the scenario files (or the game map) is fixed when you start a game.




76mm -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 8:13:06 AM)

Download link does not work, it just brings me back to this page.

The download page on the "my page" is dated April 23 and says this is an open beta version?





wkuh -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 1:56:30 PM)

Using 0.11 release w/no problems. Thank you.

I have the same problem, If I click on the link in original message nothing happens. I tried using the update app included with the game it fails as well.




Erik Rutins -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 3:52:52 PM)

The download link in the first post (in the word HERE) is working fine for me, as is the in-game update. It's possible your anti-virus/security/firewall software may be interfering?

The in-game update almost never works for me. The link in this thread still does not work, the page sort of blinks then I end up on this page. While it could be anti-virus related, I've been using the same anti-virus for about ten years and have never seen it do something like this--generally I will get some kind of warning or pop-up, etc, not just nothing...

I was able to download the patch on "My Page" on Matrix's website; it is now labeled as a release rather than a beta patch.




Peter Fisla -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 5:30:31 PM)

I was able to update the game updater executable but then when it tries to update the game, I got the following error: "Unable to download file. An error occurred while to open an FTP file."




Peter Fisla -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (5/28/2021 6:07:55 PM)

I went to the WITE2 store page and grabbed the patch from there, it worked from there.

When I updated from the load screen the first time, it hung. When I did it for a second time it gave an error message. The third time it worked fine. All that seems to be required is to " try, try again".




Stephan61 -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (7/3/2021 12:23:51 PM)

I have a Multiplayer game going on which I could not access without updating.
So I ahve updated and still cannot access the game from the server.

Any ideas?




loki100 -> RE: War in the East 2 - New Patch (7/3/2021 1:23:07 PM)

maybe a silly suggestion but did you download this patch or the more recent 00.01.01 patch (see the other thread)?

if not, prob best to post in the tech support forum

Think I sorted thanks, had to update further to the new Beta version.

what if I now receive a turn from an earlier version of the game? can I still open it even though I have now updated to the latest BETA?

You can open saves from earlier patches, but if you save under this patch then it can't be opened in an earlier one

Maybe you have some download manager program? When I click the link it also brings me back to this page, as if nothing happened. But at closer inspection the file is being downloaded by Internet Download Manager, in my case. Maybe check your 'Downloads' dialogue in your browser?
