Friday the 14th Development Update

[banned]

The general plan is, after the milestone is submitted and accepted, we return to the now almost-final patch, cram as much as we can into it, and make it our final Cliffs of Dover patch.

And how long are we looking at for this to happen?

If only you told us all of this ages ago. Might have stopped those 'wild rumours' you reckon we like, such as 'they're not working on CloD' etc.

Predictable because of the realities of business. I just hope that the powers that be at 1C (= those with the ties and the money) realize just how much porcellain has been smashed by this release. Before CloD many people would have bought any sequel without a thorough test, after CloD the sequel(s) will have to be everything that CloD was not: a finished, well-rounded simulation with working engine, offline gameplay part and not too many bugs. Otherwise they will rot in the shelves.

Thank you, now I know I can safely uninstall Dover.

Thank you Sir I'm waiting and still playing in the mean time those who uninstall and come back later I will be your nemeses.

"The general plan is, after the milestone is submitted and accepted, we return to the now almost-final patch, cram as much as we can into it, and make it our final Cliffs of Dover patch. The next time it will be updated is when you install the sequel over it."

Thank you Luthier - I'm 100% behind you and, as a financial person, I understand that the sums have to work!!

I, like so many out there (perhaps silent), wish you and your team great success - IL-2 has given us so much enjoyment and I'm sure that CoD, and its sequels, will do likewise.

I think their policy is wrong, work on the sequel and not finish Cliffs of Dover is a mistake, I don´t have more confidence in your products, to buy their, who assures me that the sequel will work 100%

I don't usually say much, but, how can you release a "Sequel" to a game that has not been corrected or finnished in a stable condition?.....that is just adding problems onto problems with no solutions in site..................

If that were true they would release the Sequel now with all the game engines faults. This is one of the reasons the Sequel will be a year or two away to give them time to fix these faults, not just to make the maps, missions, and aircraft.

The real problem here is that there is no competition... at all.

We need competition for CoD so these guys can get off their backsides and give us what we paid for!
