Rossdaddy Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 I'm absolutely loathe to bother you with this, but I'm very anxious for the patch... I've been checking BTS downloads 3 times a day, mumbling about it in meetings, hell...even my fiancee is aware of this patch, and she thinks computer games are toys! (Re-education begins three weeks from this Saturday.) Just give me a calendar date to cling to! (Lie if you want.)

M Hofbauer Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 maybe youn already know it but in case you don't maybe this thread is of interest to you: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/012375.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossdaddy Posted November 17, 2000 Author Share Posted November 17, 2000 Thanks! I've been following that thread, but it's mostly about "floating point integers" (what ever they are) and people telling BTS how to technically design this patch. I'm simply interested in a possible time-frame of completion. [This message has been edited by Rossdaddy (edited 11-17-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted November 17, 2000 Share Posted November 17, 2000 I guess it was perhaps about time for a new thread on this anyway Just curious like everyone else? So can we play with the new beta TCP/IP patch this weekend or not? -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That is doubtful. We have just released the patch to the body of Beta Testers for review. The former versions were all tested internally (just us BF.C peoples) but VERY extensively. Depending on how this new round of testing goes will decide when the Public Beta is to be released. Baring no unforeseen major issues, we are probably still looking at 1-2 weeks. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrl Posted November 18, 2000 Share Posted November 18, 2000 Thanks Madmatt, At least i know i won't be playing CM over TCP/IP until sometime in December or maybe next year. I"ll enjoy my turkey and stuffing better if i know that the patch won't be out before Thanksgiving and that way i won't be thinking i should be at home downloading it. ------------------ " When you succeed, give all the credit to others; when you fail, take all the blame."

mrk_dog Posted November 18, 2000 Share Posted November 18, 2000 Well since this thread has been started, and even though we have an answer (thanks Maddmatt) could I ask another question? Will the patch support LAN? If not is there any plans to do so? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm not sure what you mean by support LAN, but since the patch will use the TCP/IP protocol for communications, then of course it will support a LAN. (Assuming of course you have your computers on that LAN configured to run TCP/IP.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would give to do that kind of 'testing' exceeds your imagination! When I test software I've developed at work it involves making sure that the data fields validate correctly on the user input forms, that the DB updates properly, that the sequence numbers on the documents stay synchronized when yadda yadda yadda. Testing, MadMatt? I think not. I think you are playing and I am extremely jealous. I think all of you 'testers' should be smacked with a very large herring! Testing?! PAH! HARUMPH!

joeski Posted November 18, 2000 Share Posted November 18, 2000 Well they do call it Play-Testing. ------------------ "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins.

Guest *Captain Foobar* Posted November 19, 2000 Share Posted November 19, 2000 Kestrl, what they are referring to indeed is a public beta version. After a period of public abuse, the software will either be shown to be infallible, or altered if nitpicky bastards around here say something doesnt work right in it.
