Its up on Gamersgate

[Eirik Bloodaxe]

I wanna know who's rating something that we can't play yet??????

People might be hunting the extra 50 Blue Coins, that GG throws at the first one who rates the game.

Should this thread AND the 3.1 one be moved to BUG reports????? lol

How much is 50 Bc? 5-6 cents

 

[matthiele]

awesome. just one little thought.. why didn't anyone test the first installer that got sent out?

It's not a problem to rate the game. The problem is that people give 5 stars to a game which doesn't even install.

A new installer is now built. We are just going to test it before we get it to gamersgate.
The same installer was sent to Steam, but they will get the updated version before they wake up today, so I hope they will see that before they release it.

I hope so! I'm dying to play FTM. Operation Unthinkable looks so inviting!

maybe they think this is as good as it gets for HOI3

Nah, the first vote was 3 (noticed earlier). And 4x5 & 1x4 is 4.8, not 4.2.

Lets see.
5 votes with an average of 4.2 and we know the first vote was a 3. This means that the other votes were either 3 5's and another 3 (total 21) or 2 5's and 2 4's (total 21) or some other combination that adds up to 18.

I guess whoever said 10 am local vs 9 am local is going to be closer to the truth............

Sure, but I think you will find that most games are rated before anyone could have tried the game more than 5 minutes. I think the extra 50 blue coins have something to do with this, though some might also rate to be "first".

is it mean or median that they use? Would make a big difference.

Whichever ends up higher and thus looks better, from a marketing perspective.

 

[Pugmak]

It could have been some of the players invited to the beta that did the voting.

Hehe, that reminds me of the HoI 3 release.
GG released it so early that the Paradox crew was surprised it was up when they came to work.
If I remember correctly King by pure coincidence was around in the middle of the night trying to give some support.

We did test it. We did not test the uninstaller though, which turned out to be the bad guy. So we though we were testing on a clean computer when we weren't.
Lesson learned! The new installer works, so we'll update you shortly.

 

[lastmantodie]

not soon enough. Oh well off to work.
