So do you think the 'BIG' patch for Clod will be released at the same time as BoM?
 

As I understand it, BoM (even though it is apparently going to be a MMO) should be using the CloD game engine. As we know there are many issues with the game engine, but 1C have been (we are led to believe but have to guess because of the lack of forum input from them) working diligently on the new 'Retail' patch to fix many of the issues.

However, as a thought, is this really worth their while to release it, get moaned at and then have to try and do more fixes, or, do they just close the doors, work through the code, fix it so that it really does work with BoM and then when BoM gets launched, they push out the fixed Game Engine patch for CloD?

I'm only thinking that if they can get BoM to work with the game engine, then maybe they would rather just work at it and then release it all in one go to fix CloD, and then say "the game engine works, so BoM works too! Now come and buy it with confidence" ?

Regardless, it would be good to know just what the priorities (apart from the move to a new office which no-doubt will take 6-months.....honest Gov!) are for 1C and if CloD is still even on the agenda until BoM is launched?

I only pray that and 'fix' is not dependant on having to spend any more money

I guess it will come slightly before so everyone is 'warmed up' for the grand release of the sequel!

I think it should be released before the announcement of the sequel, so that everybody's head get a bit cooler and it does not get downed in flames.

The bottom line is we defrauded so long ago and still to this day have not got what we have paid for.

I will not go near BoM purely on a matter of principle.

No - before. Any updates will need testing especially the 'big patch'. This will likely come out before sequel release as good reviews of it will get sales of sequel off to a good start. Also there is probably much more work required to complete the sequel than the patch so an earlier release will give the developers more time to bug squash whilst sequel is being finished.

They can release 5 new titles if they want, I won't be spending any money on any new release until CLoD is fixed.

How can I have faith in a new product if the old one was just, well....just bad and incomplete?

Of course the "big patch" will be released asap, so the engine can be tested ad nauseum before the sequel is official announced, which didn't happen yet.

All this talking about the sequel is talking about unlaid eggs until the official announcement.

And rewarming the bad press from the beginning for the nth time is pathetic at least.

If so its too late. Who will seriously spend a single cent on a squel that base on Cliffs of Dover if Cliffs of dover won't work bugless ? But for me even this won't be enough. There is too much missing like e.g. a working multiplayer, a coop mode, a real dedicated server etc. etc. etc......

Its apparent that they are working on the sequel at the same time as the patch(es), we have seen the sneak peaks, planes, drive-able tanks, etc... It wouldnt be far fetched to think that the final official patch (which who knows how close we are to anything like that) would be followed a short time later by a release date of the next game (and I would hope some sort of closed beta this time).

But who knows...
