Guys, all I can say is we're working as fast as we can. If we can get it out today (and we're trying to), it will be today, if not we're still aiming for a guaranteed release before the end of the week. Things are coming together but we have to make sure everything's squared away before giving you all the green light.

Regards,

- Erik


We all appreciate your hard work. Just think how easy you can take it after its released

Thank you for taking the time out to let us know how its coming, we really do appreciate it.

I'll take it even with tons of bugs. At least this way i can start reading the manual.


I agree!

It will probably be at least 24 hours AFTER I buy it before I can really start to play anyway. But I can dig into the manual immediately.

Plus, who cares about DirectX bugs? I just look at it as another opportunity to debug my hardware drivers!

Send a third stage guild navigator... Oops the tension is causing all this short circuits in my brain.

Ahhh yes, the wait until Service Pack 1 is out, type. I'm kind of that way, too. I didn't buy UV until there were two major patch releases out. I've already noticed up in the support area there are some rather significant problems already exposed by the tiny few who got copies at Origins. Some non-trivial OOB omissions (most notably no C-46's in the CBI theater), a GUI refresh bug or two, a rather annoying sound bug having to do with DirectX, and a data problem with the tutorial. And those are just from the few who picked it up at Origins.....


DirectX problems caused by people's systems have very little to do with the developer. Data problem with the tutorial has already been posted as a solution. Screen refresh is a bit of a mystery. None of these have any impact whatsoever on game play.

If that is the best you can come up with for bugs, I'm laughing. Where's the real bug complaints that has something to do with the game like units vanishing or data being corrupted or combat reports having different results in PBEM?


Obviously none of those are show-stoppers, but they are NOT trivial things either. Add these things found by the 50-100 or so who got copies at Origins after playing only a few days, to the things we've already seen discussed going into the first patch release, and you can see what I mean. Nothing to stop the show, but enough make the cautious maybe wait for that first patch.....Naaahhh...

Status: offline 		Eric - Thank you so much for the information. We changed our vacation plans to be around this weekend, hoping that the DD would be available, and at least it sounds like it may be a good move. We all appreciate your hard work, and here is another vote to release it even if it has a few bugs. Patches are a good thing.

You remind me of my wife. When we were first married 10 years ago, she used to say "you love the computer more than me". Man that bugged me but she finally realized that my being on the computer ruled out my going out with my friends and so forth. So she is happy to see the back of my head as it were.

They are TRYING to release it today, but it is not guaranteed. They are looking to fix a few bugs first.

However they have guaranteed a release by the end of the week.
