Can you guys confirm that you have applied patch v1.04? This patch should resolve the "Thinking..." issue.

Great!

Hi TaoJah, I tried all the saved game files you sent, i.e. loaded them individually and they all loaded without incident. Can you still confirm that this is happening for you with regards to the saved game files in your folder? Can you send me the specific game file that seems to be causing the issue or just let me know which specific file if you already sent it, thanks! Hubert

Hi Nashorn1, Sorry to hear about the trouble, can you confirm that your system meets the minimum system specs? Also, can you try downloading the latest version of DirectX as well as the latest drivers for your Sound and Video Cards? Usually one of these will resolve the issue for you. I hope this helps, Hubert

No need to do any further updates for v1.04 as it is fully compatible with v1.03... meaning the updates you performed to have everything compatible with v1.03 will work fine with v1.04

Thanks for the file David, as mentioned in the email it looks like a rare error but the good news is that it will be fixed for the next patch. Hubert

Actually if you can send me the contents of your save game directories as well that might be helpful for me to see what is going on. Thanks, Hubert

Scook, can you send me the saved game file so I can take a look? Can you send to support@furysoftware.com Thanks, Hubert

Odd, anyone else seeing this?

With v1.03 the new entrenchment rules are as follows: - land units that move into a friendly fortress/fortification now automatically entrench up to 1/2 the max entrenchment value - land units that start a turn within a friendly fortress/fortification now automatically entrench up to 1/2 max entrenchment regardless of initial entrenchment value

Hi TaoJah, Can you try deleting the contents of your save game directories to see if that helps. This includes all the Multiplayer subfolders as well. Hubert

Hi David, can you send me the saved game file that will reproduce this error? Please send to support@furysoftware.com Thanks, Hubert

Good points guys, I'll take a look at some of this for patch v1.05

Strange... thanks for the tip and I'll take a look. Hubert

Hehe... hopefully all our families don't start to wonder about us but the good news is that the patch should be out soon

Okay great

Interesting... off hand I would say that this would be difficult to track down but I'll keep an eye out for it. Hubert

Hi Agamemnon, Can you please send me the contents of your Saved game folders? This would be the 'Save' folder as well as the 'Multiplayer' folder. This way I can take a closer look and see what might be causing the problem. After that if you delete these folders the game should run fine. Hubert

Great I'm glad you guys like that one enhancement... I'm planning a few more but that was the easiest one to change and therefore the quickest to implement for the v1.04 patch. Hubert

Still? Wow, everytime I think I have that one solved it pops up again... Ok I will look at this again, sorry about that guys Hubert

Hey Terif, thanks for keeping this up to date

Good points guys and while I was hoping to have a more robust AI for this last and upcoming patch the truth is that there were still quite a few technical issues that had to be sorted out. The good news is that behind the scenes there is quite a bit of extensive AI testing and development going on (Edwin P.) and as soon as a I get a chance to review all the notes I think you will be pleasantly suprised with what the AI patch will have to offer. That and a few more AI structure enhancements I have planned should make the game a lot closer, and if not surpass, the original vision.

Thanks and the truth is that I always wanted some sort of representation... infact I remember the request coming up quite a few times during testing but I just never had the chance... expect a few more additions before it is all said and done Hubert

Yes, this next patch will be 100% backwards compatible with saved games as well as for custom campaigns. FYI, just a heads up that it looks like all major reported issues have been resolved but unfortunately with the holiday weekend coming up the patch probably won't be out until early next week... sorry about that guys but the good thing is that I did add a few extras such as the ability to scroll the map during your opponent's turn for Network games... this and a few other quick fixes will hopefully make the short delay worth the wait
