Mikester Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 Hey Samu, My understanding is: v1.01 is latest ver. for actual game (via patch) v1.02 is latest ver. for Gold Demo Only v1.03 for game is supposed to be out sometime very soon (includes applicable stuff from v1.02 demo patch plus other new stuff). Mikester out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroth Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 What I dont really know is why when I received the full game this week, both on the CD and when you boot up it says V1.02??? If the full game is now at V1.02 why is there not a full game patch to V1.02? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikester Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 I believe the reason is they figured they'd have v1.03 patch out so soon relative to having a v1.02 patch out that it wasn't worth taking the time to issue a v1.02 patch at all. So they are simply going straight to the v1.03 patch. Mikester out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 Well, think about it - do you want to have to download a patch every week or is it better to collect a few things and release a couple of patches a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 I would rather have a patch as soon as it becomes available (even if that means downloading a new one every 2 days) JonP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannheim Tanker Posted July 7, 2000 Share Posted July 7, 2000 Having a new patch every two days make PBEM a real *&%$*#er though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcpookie Posted July 8, 2000 Share Posted July 8, 2000 Someone please correct me if I'm wrong: 1. v. 1.03 will be coming out 'shortly' 2. I did read somewhere that the second round of CM CDs came straight from Battlefront with v. 1.02 pre-installed (this is referred to as slipstreaming a patch). 3. Release of the 1.03 patch will make all existing PBEMs obsolete and will require us to restart our PBEMs. Actually having to restart the PBEM from scratch is the excuse I'm allowing my buddy to use so he can bow out gracefully and not have to suffer utter humiliation at the hands of the Pook!

Maximus Posted July 8, 2000 Share Posted July 8, 2000 Hi all, been away from the board for a while. Why check the board when you already have the game, right? Anyway, I just surf around the fan sites every so often to check for new scenarios and mods. However, when IS the v1.03 patch due out? I saw that Fionn said that it will be released late next week, but that was a post from last weekend or so. And so will v1.01 PBEM games not be compatible with v1.03 games? EDIT: Whoops, so the "Red Devils in Arnhem" operation I'm currently engaged in with my buddy via PBEM will be destroyed by the v1.03 patch??? Oh well, I kicked his ass in the first 15 turn excursion. ------------------ "I for one, am pretty damn close to Genius"--Ol' Blood & Maximus [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 07-07-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release of the 1.03 patch will make all existing PBEMs obsolete and will require us to restart our PBEMs. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ah, well, into the Valley of Death From the posts I've read here, Version 1.0 shipped on the original CD. That can presently be patched to version 1.01. Version 1.02 shipped out on the second print run of CDs, so some folk out there may have gotten the full version of the game as 1.02. The current Gold Demo version of the game is version 1.02 (but a Demo only, mind, with no new scenarios) The next full patch for registered, full versions of the game will be version 1.03 (which will include the improvements/tweaks/bug fixes (if any) of version 1.02, plus whatever BTS has patched/altered/played with since then. According to sordid rumours and repeated drum banging, that will be out sometime within 1-5 days of this post (and that timeframe is my own, BTS said 'later in the week', and that was like a week ago. The nice thing is, these guys don't seem to release patches before they work and/or cover everything they want to improve). The impetous for releasing a full version 1.02 to some customers seems to have been: they were already into the second print run, so why not send out the most current version of the game. The reason for not releasing the 1.02 patch: there was more they still wanted to do, and they still had time to do what they wanted with the game, since they'd patched the initial version even before it was released. In time, all shall be made clear. Oops, sorry, and as regards the compatibility of Email games: I've read the version 1.0 is compatible with the original demo, and with the Gold Demo version 1.0. As far as I know, version (patched) 1.01 is not compatible with older versions (they made major changes for security/bug reasons to the PBEM function). I can't imagine then, that PBEM files for version 1.02 or 1.03 will be compatible with older versions, but I could be wrong. I think your best bet is, if you're currently playing a PBEM with someone, keep your current incarnation of the game on hand until you're done. In terms of playing PBEMs with people who still have the older version: they should upgrade, or buy the full version of the game. The version involved could easily be ascertained by email with potential opponents. Talk to each other. ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

guachi Posted July 8, 2000 Share Posted July 8, 2000 my CD shipped June 30 and was v1.02. Can't say what the big differences are off the top of my head, but the 5000 point limit on DYO can make for some ridiculously huge battles. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
