Todays the day
 
We should see a big patch fix today, with the American release only 4 days away. 1C have already learnt their lesson about releasing a half finished game so there is no way they would make the same mistake twice. Im certain we will get the MP sound and COOp's fixed today and maybe some more goodies too. Well done Dev's.

Sauce?

Crane 07-15-2011 08:01 AM

lol, dont need that, American release is in 4 days!! Theres no way that they would release in its current condition it would be the end of the game, a big patch today trust me.

Friday always seems to be the day for useless threads & posts with assumptions regarding patches & updates.

I thought i's add something useful.

The world is round, the sun is hot & the Fridays threads about patches & updates are a waste of space.

Trumper 07-15-2011 08:12 AM

It would be a big business boo boo NOT to have something big about patches to announce prior to the biggest release so far,but this lot work in strange ways.

skouras 07-15-2011 08:23 AM

Normally if they release the game to the US in four days they will give us a little info today..
At least that let us know what their planning
On the other hand i believe nothing going to happen today:mrgreen:
By the way Jafa how is going the WIP with your mod..

Kankkis 07-15-2011 08:32 AM

I think we get 0-day patch on US release day, but hopefully today

Crane 07-15-2011 08:36 AM

It would be madness to release the game as it is. There will be a patch or the release date will be put back.

I bet in case US release delayed by 2 weeks we get beta patch next week. In case it is delayed by 2 months or till Christmas we will get beta patch in 2 weeks. Release on the 19th is extremely unlikely because MP sound is not fixed yet and we did not get beta last Friday.

There is no point to release a PC game in summer anyway.

Allons! 07-15-2011 09:03 AM

I hope that - we will see..

adonys 07-15-2011 09:15 AM

if the release date of Tuesday 19th of July 2011, we'll see a patch exactly on that day.

on the other hand, considering the amount of things (still) needing to be fixed, there's no way in hell they can meet that date.

so, either another botched release, or a post-pone..

Bobb4 07-15-2011 09:24 AM

No patch today. US release will be delayed as Ataros says until sound is fixed.
We have about 15 Americans in our squadron and none of them have any plans of buying Clod. It will take more than just fixing what is broken to get them to buy it now. Maybe if they throw in a few more flyable aircraft, added a Mediterain (Battle for Malta) campaign or a Battle for France one?
I honestly would rather it was delayed and they really fixed things, re-worked the singleplayer, removed the childish gimicks and very linear singleplayer and concentrated on a dynamic campaign structure, one they can reuse and improve in later incarnations of the series.
It is a given that the multiplayer needs work.
The real irony is that they are actually 95% of the way there already. It is just quality control, proper beta testing and maybe the team need to take a step back and see where they want to get too?.
It really looks like when Oleg left he took the vision of the entire project with him.
I know people hate comparisons between games but Rise of Flight was in a very similar boat at one stage and then Jason literally took hold of the team and dragged them to where they are now.
I honestly hope Luthier is the man for the job, but for the love of everything holy do not release this game as is to the American market, it would be marketing suicide!

+1, 100% agree

Troll2k 07-15-2011 09:32 AM

If it is going to be on the shelves in 4 days then it has already gone gold.

If it has gone gold then it is completely fixed.

If it is completely fixed, Luthier has been holding out.

It's Steam game, it's gone gold in that time when it's unlock steam :) so long Devs can made a patch.

It is possible that there is no even CD in US retail release, only key for unlock.

Winger 07-15-2011 10:00 AM

I also think that there SHOULD be an anouncement today that at least a BETA patch that will come as final on NA releaseday via steam will come today or tomorrow. It would be a big blemish to release the game in NA without fixing at least the MP sound issues. Just my 5 cent.
I think the very least we can reckon is a newsupdate.

i dont have high expections , especially for any kind of a patch.
Normaly i dont care WIP infoupdates from 1C anymore, but at least a short info about the US release would be welcome today !!

It should be the job of UBI on their forums, but that is even less to expect ....................

Mattius 07-15-2011 10:27 AM

Luthier has been too quiet of late. Someone please bring us up to date with where the devs are at now..................

Feathered_IV 07-15-2011 10:39 AM

Giant hammer, last minute, hair on fire, every right to be disappointed etc etc. Aught to know the drill by now

Crane 07-15-2011 10:48 AM

Only 23 people in forum waiting to see if theres an update, 6 months back there would be hundreds, says it all really, game is dead.

BigPickle 07-15-2011 10:50 AM

The game is not dead.
Silence has normally equalled a reason to be silent. The past has 4 months taught us everything we need to know. See you at christmas time U.S players :(
I guess also we should remember that the Russian's may have a different approach to how they do things than European or Western companies, although they did seem to understand the community here wanted to have regular updates, but a lot could be lost in translation.

Let the Americans find out the hard way like we did! ;)

hmm i think 1C dont wanna get sued by the pop culture, they wanna make money.

Ze-Jamz 07-15-2011 11:38 AM

I don't think we will get a patch today or do i think the release for the US will be in 4 days..

I would expect and hope for an update today though.

ElAurens 07-15-2011 11:42 AM

The simple fact is that any of my countrymen that are interested in the sim did what I did and purchased it from Just Flight and already have it.

The US was never a huge market for Oleg, and it never will be.

Now can we argue about tracers, or sound, or flap deployment speeds, or something?

Lololopoulos 07-15-2011 12:00 PM

i havent bought i yet. still waiting for a amazon package to magically appear at my door step sometimes next week.

Sammi79 07-15-2011 12:05 PM

YE GADS....

Its been 2 weeks since the last official update...

How long does it take to make a patch? as long as it takes

really? possibly longer than 2 weeks? yes 'fraid so

Do I want them to stop work on the patch to inform me that the patch is not ready yet? not really no

2 weeks folks... untwist yer knickers eh? :rolleyes:

Phazon 07-15-2011 12:09 PM

I hope we hear of an announcement regarding the mythical community manager. It would do alot of good for the game and its community. Just keeping us up-to-date on the game's continuing progress helps cut down the negativity and speculation while also creating some hope our purchases were not a complete waste but rather an early contribution to a great product. ;)

It'd also help to start a proper bug fixing effort where the CM could compile an actively updated list of known bugs and their status (fixed in next patch or being worked on etc). Although we as a community have tried our best to do this ourselves, it is useless without active feedback from the dev team.


I really hope we have a significant update to hear about, seeing the new sound engine in action with some sneak-peaks at some new sound samples would make alot of people happy and confident the game can only get better.

BigPickle 07-15-2011 12:23 PM

In light of the recent totalitarian decent of this forum, you cant post a half naked lady with a dead fish, as there are children that use these forums, and to add to that, there is a sea-man lurking in the bottom left of the picture who looks like he wants to eat the fish, raw.
Sorry, but you have to remove this picture right away or face a seven day ban.

It would not have been a great loss. Just like this thread...

haha your right about the thread lol

Nah prefer the half naked lol unless its your daughter then the above pic is fine :)
wow baby hammerhead, is that your pic ? i've heard hammerheads are real fighters even when young.

Ze-Jamz 07-15-2011 01:11 PM

Yea i preferred the first picture :cool:

BigPickle 07-15-2011 01:27 PM

Oh yeah on another note, just remembered this:

"We are redoing our sound from scratch. It is proceeding at a better pace than expected. It’s already in a working alpha state, and everyone loves it. The only thing that makes it an alpha is that a lot of events do not play sounds yet. 95% of the remaining work is simply adding new samples"

Surely if they were at this stage 2 weeks ago we should have some kind of major progress by now with almost all the sounds added. I would really like to have some kind of update, if not beta test of the sounds (probably hoping for too much I know)

roadczar 07-15-2011 01:32 PM

Not me, just a pic to denote this thread as another fishing expedition!

I do fish, here is a small one caught off the Florida beach many moons ago: :-P

http://roadczar.com/pics/shark1.jpg

Thee_oddball 07-15-2011 01:57 PM

Wasnt it about a month ago luthier said they were redoing the whole sound engine and that would take 2-3 months....no release on the 19th ..sorry guys.

S!

White Owl 07-15-2011 01:58 PM

If this same thread keeps popping up every week like clockwork, the really crazy thing is one thread will correctly predict the patch of patches by accident.

Like El Aurens said, any Americans with more than a casual interest in this game have already done their homework and either bought it from Just Flight or decided to wait for more bugfixes.

skouras 07-15-2011 02:33 PM

bisher 07-15-2011 02:48 PM

I hope they do release a patch today, though they may well wait until the sound is redone. It would be nice to hear something from luthier et al about the plans, they have been so quiet

addman 07-15-2011 03:47 PM

I only get two -maybe three- types of fish where I do my fishing, pike is one of them:

Chivas 07-15-2011 04:57 PM

The US release looks like it will still be the 19th, but there is no way all the issues will be fixed for that release. The new IL-2 series is a Work in Progress and if we are lucky it will be a WIP for another 10 to 15 years. You can choose not to support it until the Cliffs of Dover is finished but at your own peril, every purchase counts, in the survival of this sim. In the end you could be supporting a lost cause, or another ten years of entertainment even more immersive simming than the first IL-2 series provided. I hate to be dramatic but this is a critical time in the development of the sim.

addman 07-15-2011 04:59 PM

I prefer to catch the following fish though because it's really nice to cook and especially if you ROACH them. Very common here, do guess the species :):

LOL! No, I'm not Troy McLure so I don't "cock" my fishes, I prefer to cook them :). I fish for the relaxation, it's really great to clear your mind from stuff. Sometimes I even catch something and that's just a bonus. Yes it's a perch and it's an awesome food-fish.

I still belive things will get sorted out in time look at il2 it took years to get to where its at now and this game will be the same and im ok with that as long as i see forward progress.

It is being tested already in CloD by some lucky beta-testers as an engine sound in MP. New sound engineer just has to add some bubble samples to it (if you remember the last update) and it is ready :)

The only thing im sure of is it should of been done before release not 4 months after.

And regarding CloD it is veeeerrrryyyy old news mentioned 1000 times on the forums. Why bother repeating it? Does it feel good somehow?

Do you have to? it is more compulsion than obligation.

You do not have to. You can just stop repeating old news. No one forces you. It is not interesting. Everyone knows the game has many bugs and not complete. There is no need to repeat as it does not help. Feeling pity may be pleasant but couple of days or even weeks in March was enough for it. Now it is time to get enthusiastic and optimistic without reason :) It helps because "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm"(c)

Only this attitude and community support can help the devs to finish the game in spite of all business issues.

What do you mean the American release is 4 days away? Ubi says it was released almost 2 months ago.
