How to get the XBOX patch

[SEE]

Following the statement from 505 which cleverley addresses two issues we have with them:-

1. Failure to communicate with its customers.

2. Lack of committment to the Xbox platform following the release of the PS3 Title update.

We are investigating the development of a X360 patch and appreciate the importance of continuously evaluating and improving the game play experience. Although I am unable to confirm if and when this will be available, we will certainly update the community as soon as we know.

It's a non commital reply as to whether a patch will be released but the use of the word 'development' suggests that a patch was never submitted or completed for the Xbox. Somehow we need to get the evidence that they have the patch and it was submitted to them some time ago. Reading through Antons previous comms suggets that they did submit it

Can we prove that and how?

We have to maintain the pressure on 505 by shifting the argument to another issue otherwise they will simply continue to respond with the same non-commital reply.

If anyone has access to all of the devs responses, particularly those that state the patches were completed and submitted to 505 and time frames............post them here!

We have to challenge their use of 'Investigating the development' in that statement.

Okay I added this issue to 505 games Wikipedia entry under the Criticism section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/505_Games.

Here is what I wrote (let me know if anyone thinks it needs to be changed somehow): "In early 2010, 505 Games has been criticized by customers for failing to release a game-fixing patch for the Xbox 360 version of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, even though the same patch was released for the PS3 version. Comments by the developers of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey reveal that the patch has reportedly been finished but has been sitting in limbo for months awaiting approval.[1]"

I would be appreciative if people out there who are trying to help with this issue could keep an eye on that Wikipedia page every once in a while to make sure 505 games (or some other anal Wikipedia editor) hasn't removed that bit, and to add it again if they do.

Need to refer and quote the relevant statements (from the devs) to support the argument that 505 are already in receipt of, or have access to, a Xbox Patch that addresses common game improvements. Otherwise it's an assumption (or claim) that can be questioned.

SEE, Ive found the tread were Anton tells us that the 360 patch has been made and is ready for 505 games QA

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=11460

Important posts being #6 , #8 and #9 .

Does this not prove that that patch was made at the same time as the PS3 one? I don't think Anton would tell us that if it were not the truth. It also implies that Anton was still communicating with 505 obviously telling them that the patch was ready for their QA but how he says "talking them into" it, sounds like 505 were hesitant to do it?
So "Investigating the development" is a lie going on what anton has said, as they must know it was made.

Thats the post i was referring to (but couldnt find) in another thread pope when i replied to one of your posts.

The patch was done and was sent, though it was supposedly microsoft who sent the patch back/refused it because it had issues still, where as the PS3 patch did not.

So BOTH patches were put on hold until the 360 patch was sorted, but they didnt fix it and ended up only releasing the PS3 patch, letting the 360 version rot. To much time and effort to fix it for them. Its mroe about money, not the customer. Were just the pawns in their little game.

One day they will realise they need us though lol.

Thats exactly what we need and thanks Robotic for searching that post out and finding it. The 505 statement of intent seems to be well and truly contradicted and ultimately discredited by the response of Anton in that thread. We fight on........pawns? ...maybe, but can still get a king in checkmate!

Here is my lame response from 505 Games regarding the patch...

"Many thanks for your enquiry and feedback on IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey

We are investigating the development of a 360 patch and appreciate the importance of continuously evaluating and improving the gameplay experience. Although I am unable to confirm if and when this will be available we will certainly update the community as soon as we know.

Thanks again for your email"

You now just wasted 10 seconds of your life reading that.
