Old 1.3 Beat 1 General Comments thread

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=390318

Notes:

I just wanted everyone to know that this is going to be the last Beta patch. There are no plans to make any EXE related changes before the final 1.3 patch is released. This means that making requests to add this, change that are not going to be considered. We have a deadline to meet and we cannot divert from that. All EXE bugs that are critical will be fixed as they are found.

Also we don't know when the final patch is going to be released so please do not ask because we cannot answer.

We do however want to hear continued feedback about the 1.3 Beta 2 patch. We do have the ability to make database related changes before the final patch is released. As such your gameplay comments, issues etc are most welcome.

Thank you,

Congrats to the patch team

Thanks for all the hard work. Now to download and delve in over the weekend! And here I thought this weekend would be boring. :D
 
I guess I am blind today. I do not see where to down load it. Can someone inform me please?
 
Maybe I am having a bad day, or Vista is just messing with me but the files will not over write the existing files. All the files do is "move". I had no trouble with the first patch. Maybe I should just call it a day and go to bed.

Did you install the game in the default folder c:\program files.... ?

If you did make sure you have UAC turned off and that you are and administrator on the machine.

Why does UAC need to be turned off?
How do I turn it off? What is the difference between this patch and when I installed the first one? Same computer.
 
Great!

Upgrade is from 1.2 or from 1.3b1?

You can install this patch over a clean installation of Armageddon 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 beta.

MbahGondrong, there are changes in this version that make it incompatible with mods for previous Armageddon versions. EXE changes compared to 1.3 beta1 are very minor and all mods that already moved to 1.3 shouldn't have big problems to switch to 1.3 beta2.

J.T., you could load 1.3beta game in 1.3beta2 - there are no EXE changes that could cause problems, but there are many changes to DB and AI files that you'll miss until start a new game.
 
Awesome! What known issues, if any, still exists?

I didn't see anything about the unlimited resources bug in the changelog. You know where some islands produced unlimited resources.
 
I am having trouble understanding the changelog. What is new with 1.3b, and what is new with 1.3b2. Anyway that what is truly new could be highlighted in yellow, or something. Is the second changelog more properly titled 1.2a to 1.3b?

Also:

Added cores to Guangxi Clique in all its owned territory in the 1936 scenario, to prevent cede territory to Communist China bug.
Optimized Chinese tech development and military build to further accent land warfare.

Also, shouldn't you remove the Valkyrienet button from the final, since this option is no longer available with the company, and sometimes entering and then leaving will crash the game, in my experience.

Changes since 1.3 beta1 are in the Partial Changelog - HOI2 Arma 1.3 Beta 1 to HOI2 Arma 1.3 Beta 2 list.

Full Changelog - HOI2 Arma 1.3 Beta 2 Patch contains all 1.3 beta2 changes compared to 1.2.
