Thanks Paradox!

[Tatai]

Thank you all and sorry for the impatience.

 

[blue emu]

Yes... looks like an excellent patch, at first glance. Trying it out now...

 

[unmerged(46366)]

Yeah, THANKS A LOT for releasing this just minutes before I have to leave on a business trip! (Bitchiness aside, it looks good and gives me something to look forward to on my return!)

 

[DrinkingHeavily]

*grin* Today's my first day at my new job since I quit the last one in the middle of last December.. of course it's getting released now!

Even though I pre-ordered Doomsday, I hadn't installed it yet.. hopefully this will be the patch I've been waiting for.

 

[bubbelties]

So when is 1.3 coming? :rofl:

Just kidding, it is looking good, cant wait to try it!

So, how long before you (not a specific you, just all of you ) spot something you don't like and start complaining?

No such thing as perfection Mork

All major reported bugs fixed. Leader experience gain changed. 1945 scenario getting some love. Only thing I can't see is something about the expeditionary forces from AI (although that can be modded yourself fairly easily) which some people hate. Although the support defence orders being stopped is fantastic as that used to drive me crazy in North Africa with Germany. AI invasion routines improved...

Tis a good patch and really appreciated. Will be a while before complaints start unless there is some major bug which sneaked through testing

Sorry it took me so long, I've been installing it. I've noticed that a lot of bugs weren't fixed. For instance, Abandon Doctrine is so broken that it's an exploit; when you forget a doctrine, you get the benefit of that doctrine again! (Forget a +10 positioning doctrine, get +10 positioning!) There are still no new model names, which is really slowing down graphics mods. And so on; out of that bug thread a couple of weeks ago, there are at least two dozen unfixed bugs.

Still, the fixes for the suicide air forces, new experience system, and broken MP saves is good. That change to Esc F is also nice.

 

[Mork]

I just wanted to know how long I could go without fireproof clothing.

Now to wait for the update version for the downloaded version of the game.

Spoilsport...
The exploit is a rather big exploit, but it is an exploit. So if you want to use it, it's your problem (in other words, should be fixed, but ain't that imprttant IMHO).

Thanks. (The escort range was one of my pets)

Abandon Doctrine is not an exploit - it's a New-in-Doomsday feature which has never worked right, and needs to be fixed. When I want to use this feature, I need to edit the savegame to bring down several numbers. It makes MP unplayable except with people in the same room - because anyone you can't check on will have 200% mission efficiency, 50% chance of every combat event, 150% positioning for every ship type, etc.

 

[dashstar1972]

works with 'all versions'

Now to wait for the update version for the downloaded version of the game.

The download page says 1.2 works with all versions. Does that mean it works with the gamers gate download version?

Nope, only the boxed version it says.

Well, then it is an exploit.
Though if you want to play a late war scenario, and don't want the doctrine path you are going down, then it is unavoidable, and as such sucks.

I'll disagree here - it's bug, not exploit. You cannot use it becouse it will bring your stats sky high. So it's basicly useless - you have to edit the files manually if you want to have everything right

EDIT: Of course BIG THANKS Paradox! (Almost ) all the major bugs fixed

 

[unmerged(56107)]

Yeah, thanks to Paradox from me too. Just installed 1.2 and when I saw this line:

"All leaders in a combat will gain XP."

in the read me file, I was very, very happy. The games you make are great. It's a small wonder that anyone even bothers to create games like HoI anymore, because they clearly aren't targeted for the huge masses buying computer games. AND you listen to customer feedback.

Good work.

well I saw in the readme text from 1.2 that the bug where exp. forces become regular home troops (f.e. Italian and Spanish, when they are in North Africa) is not solved. That's still an awfull exploit for getting huge amounts of extra manpower ...

but anyhow I say - great thank you !

 

[unmerged(27395)]

Just one word....thanks!

 

[GeneralHannibal]

All leaders in a combat will gain XP

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm going to change my sig to say Thanks for changing the XP system
