Patch(es) included in UK-release ?

[notyoueither]

So, I guess NWN hasn't been released there either?

What happened to Activision for CTP2?

How about Asus? i remember then releasing a mother board for NorthWood CPUs that could not POST with one. One needed an processor from an earlier famility to POST the board so the BIOS could be flashed for the NorthWoods to work.

How about nVidia and ATI? ATI especially cannot seem to get a driver set right right off the bat.

Hey, how about MicroSoft and their OS's? Shouldn't a network OS have security nailed down? How many fines have they paid?

What about them Horsie? Huh?

Did you complain about them or did you just bend over as usual?

I know someone in Australia complained about PTW - to the right people too, including the appropriate Ministers

[notyoueither]

Did anybody complain about MicroSoft?

You are so full of it Horsie, they may give you a new name...

If they take this type of thing to court and prevail, it could lead to some companies not release to that market.

[Grumbold]

If they prevail and companies choose to withold their products it will clearly show they have no confidence in their own product development process. If those companies lose profits to the ones that do then its corporate evolution in action. Maybe in a decade or two we will be back to having some faith that version 1.0 of a software product is free of all significant bugs for standard platform configurations.

This is all deeply hypothetical though

When I saw AH posts I thought for a moment that I was in the OT Forum !

Anyway, I do not think that they will have the newest patch on but this is of course pure speculation!

So long...

I pre-ordered PtW through Gameplay. It arrived this morning by second class post - probably helped by me living in the Leeds postcode area where Gameplay are based.

I installed the game and got as far as the main menu to discover I had version 1.01.

As I write this I am 80% of the way through downloading patch 1.14 (takes me about 30 minutes on a 56k modem)



EDIT: Don't rush to install the 1.14f patch. When I did it stopped recognising the CD was in the drive and I could not run the game so I am back with the original 1.01 installation that came on the CD.

Didn't Firaxis learn anything from the saga of patching the original game?

[disorganizer]

hehe.... so im not the only one :-)
german ptw...=104... english installation: does not work with 1.14...

the reason i think:
they changed from securom to safedisc copy protection... and did not think about the patches...
if you install the us-patches on the eu-version, it wont recognize the cd as the copy protection is overwritten by the patch :-)

i also posted this at the "bugreport" thread

PTW in New Zealand!

Oddly enough, in spite of PTW being delayed in Australia until January 2003, it has just turned up in GP Store in New Zealand though we don't usually get it until after them and I can't prove this as they haven't updated their site yet but I'd emailed them about the release date delay situation and they emailed back telling me they were looking at the box and did I want a copy so what gives? More liberal laws in New Zealand?

Is this true? Seriously, the s**t they pull is not acceptable. Looks like I will give this one a miss, there are far better things that I can spend my money on...
