ROW BETA v1.15 Update Posted

[TechWins]

Hey, thanks Jesse for the confirmation. Keep up all the great work and continous communication.

I think you are wrong, JesseSmith.

As far as I can see 1.15 does not include from 1.12:
-Civ3ConquestsEdit.exe
-conquests.biq
-conquests.mb
-jackal.txt (although this one is same as in 1.00 so is not needed)

And from 1.13:
-jgl.dll

And many other things from Conquests folder (inculding 1.12, or maybe 1.02 updated "4 Middle Ages.biq", some updated labels.txt, civiliopedia.txt and PediaIcons.txt files, some scenario specific art files, etc...)


It's easy to text.
Just install the 1.12 patch to some temp folder.
Then install the 1.13 patch to some temp1 folder.
And then install the 1.15 patch to some temp2 folder.

Compare the files, and you'll see the difference.


EDIT:
Although one thing I can say for sure.
If you install only 1.12 and 1.15 then you'll probably get all updates (exempt that jgl.dll, but only Firaxis know is it different in any way).


EDIT2:
This was test about English version only.

You are correct - the English version posted doesn't include all of the v1.12 files! *sigh*

So do we wait untill the official posting at Firaxis to find out how to get the 1.15?

I strongly think that it is time to start a sticky thread called " 1.15 bugs thread " in order to have a strong official patch at the end of February.

As far as I know how things work, I don't think that late february official patch would be much different then current beta.

First every patch need to go through strict QA procedure, plus extra delays for translations.

So for patch to be realeased at the end of february it must be completed at least at the end of january.

I suspect you are close to reality on your statement,therefore opening such sticky thread it is urgent,only 10 days are remaining

Thanks Jesse.

@ Jesse / All :

Is the latest 1.15 still open to tiny modifications/fixes if needed ?

If yes, as I presume beeing it a BETA, could it be a good idea to open a thread in order to log 1.15 found bugs ?


Thanks

Jesse is to be commended for his posts here (and on civfanatics). It is rare, but so beneficial to the game's customers, to hear/read the news and views directly from those involved in developing and supporting the product. Clearly it takes a lot of ambiguity and angst out of the beta-patching process when you don't have to wonder about the authenticity of the information.

Similar kudos can be attributed to Soren (amongst others), from whose earlier postings we learned a great deal about the undocumented game mechanics.

Though IMO Firaxis has been deserving of criticism in the past, I also think that Jesse deserves credit for his practice of open communication on these forums.

Many Thanks guys!

Is that link supposed to work?
It doesn't seem to work...must be my cookie settings.
