Friday Development Update - September 16, 2011

[Foo'bar]

Finally I've got my new PC last friday, and I must say that I'm very impressed. You must know that this is the first time ever I was running CloD since my old rig didn't even start the sim. And believe me, it was a real pain since I own two copies of CloD since march...

Same situation here, and I don't have the Kneten to buy a new rig in the foreseeable future. Ah well, by the time I will be able to play CoD, it will be running bug free surely

Maybe this deserves it's own thread but have you been following the pro/anti debates that have been going on? How does your initial experience with COD match up to with all the hype/sledging that the sims been received since release?

Cheers!

I am very glad you have updated your PC Foobar, now you can really see your fantastic steam engines and rolling stock properly in COD. We are all looking forward to see some of your German steam engines and perhaps a few French ones very soon.

PS I am still waiting to see the LNER A4?

Hi Skoshi Tiger,

well, I think my situation is quite different to any other's here around. When I was starting to play the sim for the first time last friday all errors and bugs already have been wiped out so far and I cannot say that playing the sim was a pain. I know that more things will be fixed within the next days (think about the beta patch wich is out since some days).

My feeling is quite good but I know this is what others have been expected since the very first day.

@dflion: perhaps you've been visiting my blog in the last days. I've made a major update to the A4 class and even a new wartime black skin is enroute, more information is available at Foo'blog and Foo'rum. Unfortunately I've no information at the moment about MG's further agenda, so I cannot say when the SNCF (ex prussian G8 ) steamer will face the game.

@A.Fokker: SoW will have a estimated lifetime of about 6 to 7 years so I think you will have a new pc before its end, for shure.

Maybe when we have a proper network to run them hé hé hé...and some place to put coal into them...so not yet, I do not believe the time is right...Within some months when we may have a look at the map with MG agreement, who knows?

Jean-Valéry, I think we need to wait for the SDK.

[JVM]

Indeed...you are absolutely right Peter!

[Tavingon]

Call me daft but has there been a patch since the last beta one?

[nearmiss]

No! We are all waiting.

Beta patches do not appear on Steam, only completed patches is my understanding next release is supposed to be a patch release (not beta) so it should be available on steam.
