ratdeath Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Today is the big day for CMCW on Steam. Will there be a patch for the battlefront version today as well with the Slitherine's PBEM system? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fusselpulli Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Unfortunately, today is not the big day. The release is postponed to an unknown date. Probably August. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nposborn Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Are you serious? I can't find any information about this delay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Quote Mantuvec_47 [developer] 1 hour ago Hi guys, unfortunately yes. We had to move the release date again due to issues that prevent us from properly implementing the PBEM system for multiplayer. The new release date should be in August / September. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have more detailed information on the new date. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1551160/discussions/0/3088885996478055693/#c3057365873428609738 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdeath Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 I wanted to gift the game through Steam to a friend, but I can do that at a later date 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Is there demand for more testers of the PBEM++ system? As you know - if the software is late, throw more people at it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Precedent shows the day after a release players will have already forgotten that there was any delay in its arrival. Getting the CMRT Fire and Rubble module out the door was torture - like trying to roll a boulder up a mountain. It took soooooo looooong. But the day after it was released everyone was like 'Wheeee! this is fun!' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlemFire Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 By Fall... wouldn't there be another in the CM lineup being released on Steam at that time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normandy is supposed to be released on Steam next. No one has mentioned holding off on that to me (at least not yet). I think that once PBEM+++ gets bolted onto Cold War it will be pretty straightforward adding it to everything else. 6 hours ago, Holien said: Integration is never straightforward or easy... Ain't dat the troof. Fortunately, it isn't stopping anyone from playing the games and causing a delay in release. You guys already have access to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 In a way the CMBS Steam delay is a benefit to BFC. The in-house release dates for CMRT Fire and Rubble and CM Cold War were unusually close together. The release of one threatened to steal the thunder (pun not intended) of the other. The Slitherine delay has allowed for Fire And Rubble to have its moment in the sun before Cold War arrives. The otherwise-unintended delay has had the effect of spacing out the game releases in a more propitious manner. ...IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
