FatherOfSeventeen Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Long time lurker, first time poster . I understand it takes time...but this seems to be taking an awful lot of time without a lot of communication from Battlefront. Where do we stand on 1.02--how much longer?

Hubert Cater Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We are pairing the release of the v1.02 patch with the free WWII campaign so it is unfortunately taking a bit longer than we thought... but rest assured we are still working on this and hopefully it will not be much longer.

lettowvorbeck Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great! I was hoping the two would be paired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherOfSeventeen Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Why should those of us without any interest in the WW2 campaign be penalized by having to wait for the patch? We paid for the game too, and we shouldn't have to wait for this for the WW2 campaign. Release the patch, then release the WW2 campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettowvorbeck Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 You have 17 children and you're worried about a game patch? Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi FatherOfSeventeen Welcome to the forum! The first and biggest reason why releasing the WWI part separately isn't a good idea is that there will be some coding changes that apply to both the WWI and WWII engines that need to be properly tested out first. It wouldn't really be good of us to release just updated WWI campaigns first without these changes because a) they are going to make this game a whole lot better and as soon as they are released they would render any ongoing games incompatible with the patch. So, rather than release updated WWI campaigns and then shortly after the WWII campaign, it's better we do it all at once to minimize the disruption to ongoing games. Secondly, since finishing my AAR game with Dan I've incorporated a lot of changes to the WWI campaigns, based largely on feedback from players and forum posters. But this needs a certain amount of testing too before we can release it. Sorry for the delay but in the long run I think that it will turn out to have been really worth the wait.

Panama Red Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Bill101: As a rough guess, 1.02 release in a next couple of weeks, next month, next couple of months ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 No stress, take your time. The end-result is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Been with this game for almost 9 years, a couple months is nothing, and I guarantee that based on past history, it will be worth it. Take your time Hubert, Bill, and the Betas, don't release until you have a consensus on quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherOfSeventeen Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I don't think it's right that those of us who have NO INTEREST in WW2--if I wanted to play WW2, I'd have bought a WW2 game--have to wait on a needed patch in order to optimize the WW2 campaign. I saw what was said earlier in this thread about this...but if this is seriously going to be a couple of months, release the patch already and then let people deal with having to start new games when the WW2 campaign is released. Anything else isn't fair to those of us who bought a WW1 game because it's, duh, a WW1 game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted, we all appreciate the excellent work your doing, quality takes time as you have proven in the past.
