Madmatt Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 We have released the latest patch for Strategic Command today bringing it up to version 1.04. We have also updated the demo to also incorporate those same changes. Startegic Command- European Theater v1.04 Patch Download Page Note: I am not sure if previous save games will work or not. I stated that they would not on the download page to play it safe. Still waiting for Hubert to confirm/deny this. Version Notes: Changes Made For v1.04 (September 4, 2002) - removed CD contents check - reduced CPU usage during idle times to ~10% (applies to both SC and Campaign Editor) - reduced memory usage, significant performance improvement on lower end systems - eliminated crash when trying to load from previous saved game versions, now displays warning message with appropriate course of action - improved AI planning and assessment of priorities, decisions should be slightly more intuitive - slight delay and better coordination for Allied amphibious assaults (units properly line along port areas prior to initial amphibious launch) - killed theme sound playback when SC window minimized - fixed FoW bug for research table, now shows all contents when 'Game Over' - fixed supply linking for HQ's, friendly HQ's can act as supply sources for each other - fixed FoW replay bug - fixed Russia neutral bug, in some cases the Axis AI would still not declare war on Russia - US amphibious planning after UK surrender improved, limits fruitless attempts - Germany surrendering rule adjusted, takes better account of post capital loss situation - added SU cruiser to Black Sea fleet, only appears in 1939, 1940 campaigns for now - systems that do not have 'dx7vb.dll' registered will have this automatically registered by the game if needed Edit: Fixed the link!

Willard Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Matt- Is 1.04 compatible with 1.03 games (saved/pbem)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Is 1.04 compatible with 1.03 games (saved/pbem)? Immer Etwas and I had no problems playing our v1.03 PBEM game using the v1.04 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Bill- Thanks for info. I am in pbem game now and dont want to jeopardize it. Are both you using 1.04? I assume difficulties may ensue if one is at 1.04 and the other is at 1.03??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 We both switched to v1.04 and didn't see any problems with over a dozen PBEM exchanges. FWIW, our unofficial assessment is that v1.03 games are fully compatible with v1.04. Someone somewhere may prove otherwise, but the latest patch should work fine for everyone. Good luck.

Les the Sarge 9-1b Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 It's not the price or the "look of the game, it's whether the creators keep an eye on it and seek to improve when possible. I think Battlefront is doing a lot to secure my purchase (sorry folks this poor schmuck has hardly bought squat this year inside or outside of the hobby). But it looks like SC will remain high on mylist of games to keep an eye on (hope I don't miss it entirely). As it goes, I think it might be a front runner soon. It games a scale I don't really have at the moment (Axis and Allies only goes so far to a real wargammer). Going to check out the new demo and see if I am missing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for Hubert to confirm/deny this. Thanks for the post Matt! All previously saved games from 1.02 and 1.03 are compatible, games from 1.0 will no longer cause the game to crash, now you will receive a warning message. Enjoy!

PawBroon Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Got there and had the goods. Thanks Hubert for those improvements. I noticed that the port off Bordeaux is still ARACHON and not ARCACHON as it should. I guess you're saving that for the TCP/IP patch. Outstanding support as usual.

Willard Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Is the patch compatible with graphics mods or do I need to reload those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DiFool Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 That HQ linking thing will come in handy when advancing over mountains or other rough terrain. John DiFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troycfun Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 At least I can play the Demo!!! I ordered the game last Wesnday and they say after you order it 2-4 weeks shipping because I live in Canada... TroyCfun PS... I wish I could just have downloaded it. Very fustrating playing the demo and always stops after a year. I have paid just have to wait..lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rediroc Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 The Allied AI seems a bit of a better opponent in this version. The Russians build tanks (finally) and the Western powers actually pulled off a good D-Day. Cheers for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSEDS Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 you lucky one. I ordered it on Monday and played the demo since then 15 times. Download it would be much easier and would avoid 7 Dollar shipping to germany !! But the worst it the waiting. ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
