Pandur Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 iam skipping the brits for now, but i want to know if the 1.20 patch for the CMSF/marines is comming out a week after the brits as it was with the marines too. if yes, thats a good move, however i should be able to resist spending 25$ just to get the patch. thanks, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 lol, i just suck. one should think that i could resist getting the module at least maybe a day or so, but i utterly failed. i feel a little like this fella here, i suspect he couldnt resist longer then a few moments after the photo was taken. ME WANTS BANANAS!!! ALL of them NOW [ugh, how pathetic am i!?] dang, anyways, lets have some fun with the tommys!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's OK, Pandur... Buying CM products is a weakness that many of us share... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yes, that's our plan. The patch installers are being made now, then they have to be tested. Also, we need to get a Paradox/Gamersgate set created for people who still only have the base game. Not that it's still relevant for you Pandur Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Woot woot, I just bagged & tagged the Brits+Marines module bundle! I'm guessing somebody from BF will be by this thread so I 'll ask another quick question. My order is by mail, so is it ok to install the 1.20 patch prior to installing the Marines/Brits mods? I'm assuming yes, no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSY Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 So wait, if I purchase and download the British Module does it include patch 1.20? I seem to recall reading that the Marine Module needs to be patched separately. How do I do this if the patch isn't out yet? What about the original game, does the British Module update that automatically? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 1.20 is included in the Brits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 lol, i just suck. one should think that i could resist getting the module at least maybe a day or so, but i utterly failed. US$ 25,- are a joke, anyway; especially if I look at any of my daily "Billa" (Austrian supermarket chain) bills ...

Battlefront.com Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Correct, all versions of CM:SF online have v1.20 included. At least by now they should all be uploaded. What we don't have are stand-alone versions of the v1.20 patch because we have to make installers and test them. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 yea Thomm, actually youre absulutely right, i just skip eating for one and a half day and i have regained the 20€ to 23€ i just spent. 20€ food doesnt gives me as much enjoyment as a 20€ CMSF module. the food will go down the WC the next day, CMBF will entertain me many month to come btw. BFC servers are really nice. i DLed the module in about 3 to 4 minutes or so. about 1.6MB/s DL speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ok, silly question. I have the Paradox base game and the Marine module...I assume I will load the Marine Patch? Both? (hopefully there will be patch 1.2 for dummies directions) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 grunt_GI, If you have a Paradox or Gamersgate version and purchase a Module you are, from that point on, considered to have a Battlefront base game when it comes to patching. There will be a combo Base + Marines patch made available. That's the one you want. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty67t Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So instead of having all of this ready upon release you've decided to make it so that if someone owns the base game from Paradox they are unable to play with some who has the latest British version downloaded from your website. Why wouldn't you have this all ready at the same time? I think it would have been the professional thing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Or, we could all wait until the stand alone patch is ready. I'm happy to be playing with the Brits now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... you want everyone else's pleasure in playing the Brits delayed because you can't wait the one week? I suggest you keep that to yourself. Any number of refreshing monkeys will tear you in half if you get between them and the Brits. You are aware you can just make a duplicate of your CMSF folder, keep one and upgrade the other? You can use the old copy to play with someone who doesn't own a module. But you are right about one thing. BFC are often not very professional. But that's mainly because they prefer to be decent human beings instead. They are also known to be poor at PR, making such basic errors as *gasp* telling the truth! It's their "unprofessionalism" that I like most about BFC as a company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't you have this all ready at the same time? I think it would have been the professional thing to do. Basically the problem with this is that the standalone patch is a whole new set of installers to compile and test. Releasing both at the same time would mean that someone would be waiting for something for longer than they have to, because BFC doesn't have the manpower to simultaneously compile and test both installers. Since many, many people here wanted the Brits module, it makes more sense for BFC to compile, test, and release the British installers first and then get around to the standalone patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty67t Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've been around alot of gaming forums and I've never seen such support for a developer who has basically divided the community by putting people on different versions of the game. So now that I know what kind of community I'm dealing with I guess I will changed my tune. Thank you for making it so I cannot play with my friends unless I spend the money on your Brit pack. Is that better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I hadn't even noticed you were new here. Welcome to the forums! Having said that, there is an attitude coming from your posts that you'd do well to drop. Anyway, you may want to re-read my first post in this thread again. All that is needed is that your opponents copy their 1.11 game in to a different directory. They can then install the module on top of one version and play you with the other. Alternatively, your are requested to wait one week for the patch. Either way, I find very little need for your dramatics. Dividing the community? Puh-lease! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty67t Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I didn't know you could judge someone's attitude by reading text. Yes, I'm brand new to the community and while I love the game, the way they handle this release has certainly put a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not going to ask my friends to go back and uninstall and reinstall their games, patch it up to 1.11, make a copy, then install the Brit stuff. I don't care how big or small a developer is or how big or small the community is, forcing different versions of the same game is bad business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some judging skillz, as I only formed an opinion about you based on what you wrote, you managed to form an opinion about the entire community here. Yes, I'm brand new to the community and while I love the game, the way they handle this release has certainly put a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not going to ask my friends to go back and uninstall and reinstall their games, patch it up to 1.11, make a copy, then install the Brit stuff. I don't care how big or small a developer is or how big or small the community is, forcing different versions of the same game is bad business. Except they aren't forcing it. And why, if it is such a big issue as you claim it is, won't you use the simple method I outlined to fix it? A lot of people are VERY happy to get their hands on the Brit module ASAP, and wouldn't have liked waiting longer for the patch to be completed too. So BFC have given it to them. People who play online can continue to do so with simple measures, or could wait a mere week. No one needs to be negatively affected by their decision. though it would seem you are. It's you who doesn't want to wait a week, you who doesn't want to fix the issue. And you think BFC is the source of your problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 monty67t; hi there, welcome; i think you just have "bad luck" that brits came out now. it was the same with Marines. between release and the patch for the "old version" is mostly a week. in this week "only", the guys wich bought the module have the new patch(1.20) and the ones wich wait for the patch will need to wait for about a week. so in a few days when 1.20 for CMSF and Marines comes out you can play multiplayer with any other version again. if a friend of you has only CMSF and you have CMSF+Brits for example, you can play MP with him as long as you dont use british units. i dont hope you expect that people wich do not have a certain module can play the module in MP with people wich have this module. this would be odd, wouldnt it!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wengart Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The whole thing may seem confusing at first, but as soon as you understand patching procedure its all a lot simpler than it seems. Ctrl-C takes like 2 minutes, and your good to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty67t Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Let me explain my specific situation. My friend has been playing CMSF for a long time. He had the base game and the Marines module at version 1.11. He turned me on to the game and after playing the demo I was hooked. So I purchased the base game which I patched to version 1.11 and we were able to play for one time before the British module was released. My friend immediately purchased the British module which I was unable to do at the time. So after immediately purchasing the game I was unable to play with my friend. Can you honestly not understand the frustration in that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you honestly not understand the frustration in that? Yeah, I can understand it. However it probably would have been incumbent upon your friend to resist the tempation to install the Brits module until you could have patched your game since your friend should have known prior to installing the Brits module that your games would be incompatible after he installed it. Even now your friend could theoretically uninstall his Brits module until you can patch your game up to 1.20 thus allowing you and your friend to carry on as before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
