Where is the Patch?

[MrWhereItsAt]

Interesting how it is taking longer than expected. With the beta patch more than adequate, perhaps they are adding in more than we believe they are.....

Or perhaps they're all just having an extended, late holiday.

Lucky sods if they are.

Alexman posted a rumour in the AU forum recently that another Beta patch was to be released in the next day or so, numbered 1.18, so this is probably where the confusion has crept in.

Check it out here

[DrSpike]

Well I checked that out and he said official patch (ie the one that we were expecting around now) and the "1.18?" looks speculative.

[Paddy]

speculative... ???

cause they are not getting cash for it...

Ok, I am a tad steamed... they gave a lot of words of this was coming...

Thanks for checking on that.

[DrSpike]

No, the patch will definitely arrive, but the "1.18?" looked speculative, as if he wasn't sure about the number.

[Paddy]

ok, thanks

Firaxis is definitely still working on the patch. They just aren't releasing it to the public at large yet. No need to get upset.

[Shogun Gunner]

Sorry to harp on this, but isn't 'Poly large enough to hold "an official patch". I believe we can be trusted with such things... Is "the other site" bigger and badder than us? Have we fallen from favor with Firaxis, et al.?

[DrSpike]

The reason the patch is not hosted here yet is it is a beta version. The official patch will I'm sure be hosted when it arrives.

I looked at some old threads and Jesse said that the official patch would come late febuary at the earliest, so we probably still have some waiting to do

[dexters]

I'm hoping Firaxis is still cranking away at it. There's so much still on Alex's thread that could be fixed.

[WarpStorm]

Firaxis is definitely still working on the patch.

[asleepathewheel]

hope they get something official out soon. I wonder if they are still going to introduce worker gangs to the game.

Since I don't need a new patch, I am happy to wait. I treat it like DiabloII or Space Empire IV patches. Every now and then one comes out and they are useful, but I did not need them to make the game playable. It is just a bonus.

1.12 was very necessary for playability. 1.15 was a bonus.
