Any news on the possible patch release date?
Sorry for pushing a personnal agenda with the question... but I may be going ot a no-internet zone for a few months this weekend, and was thinking whether it was still reasonable for me to hold it with starting another campaign for the remaining three days...

Status: offline 		We're supposed to get a new build to test tomorrow, which makes it unlikely, since we wouldn't want to rush testing.

If you're really eager for the patch and it's not out by this weekend perhaps someone could download it and burn it to a CD for you? I assume that where you'll be mail can reach you.

And for good thinking.
Unfortunately (as in: your assumption was wrong...), the few places on the planet with really limited internet (that I know and, unfortunately, frequent) tend to have problems with snail-mail as well. I will, of course, have somebody check for the new patch from time to time, and have it sent to me on a CD... but for now, it's the Rebel Yell again - - I should be done with the Yanks before your new patch gets to me...

PS. As a general comment, thanks for replying so fast. I have noticed (also) on some other threads that you guys are doing a grand job communicating with your community... (Hmmmm...) More than commendable. Keep it up! And have your competitors burn with jealousy, or rot in hell!! Yeah!!!!

The downside of communicating regularly is that sometimes I give overly optimistic predictions of when a patch (or product!) will be ready. I had thought this patch would be done by early January, but unforeseen factors have delayed it. It's close, though!

Status: offline 		Gil, I too must ask the question as to whether the release date for this most anticipated patch is very soon? Many of us are holding off starting another game until the patch is installed.

And the waiting is killing me...

Status: offline 		Yes, very, very close. It looked like this current build would be it, but a few minor, easily fixed glitches were found. The HW AI changes appear to be working as desired, and no one has seen any loopy AI behavior introduced by those changes. I can't give you a release date, but it shouldn't be too much longer.

We definitely appreciate your patience.

I have an important assignment I have to finish and I really can't risk having my attention diverted by a yummy patch for my favorite game.
So, I would appreciate it if you postponed the release for at least another week.

Thank you for your understanding.

My opponent and I quit our PBEM back in September due to bugs. We're still waiting for the patch that was "coming soon".

In the mean time we play other games.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		You guys deserve another update. Unfortunately, the news isn't what you were hoping for, or what I had been hoping to tell you. As I previously mentioned, just when the patch looked like it might be ready for release, a rather serious new HW bug was discovered. (I've posted a screenshot taken by the tester -- let's see if you can find it.) We can't release the patch until this is fixed, but the need to meet Matrix's release schedule for "Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition" has prevented Eric (= programmer) from debugging it. Our hope is that he will have time to debug this week -- and that it's the type of bug that doesn't take hours and hours to find! -- and that we can then test to make sure it's fixed. If so, release late next week is not impossible, but far from certain. I'll keep you posted...

Status: offline 		Little forward momentum, sadly. This weekend all the path-critical work on "Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition" will be done -- i.e., the stuff that has to be given to Matrix ASAP in order to meet their release schedule -- and with that out of the way the FOF patch will become Priority#1.

Nope
