    Seems like an eternity ago, we given "good" news from CA that they were working on a patch. Since then, I haven't seen one bit of news regarding it. What is also interesting is the lack of information on official site.

    Speculation is work on the patch is not going to happen until Rome is released, if at all.

    Anyone have an update?

    Really, it's a bit much to claim that there's been no word on the patch when on the same page there's a great big thread about it, containing several updates. Fortunately for you I can't be abusive to a paying customer. So I'll let other customers do it ;-)

    My guess is that they'll probably release the patch when they make their annoucement about Rome's release date.

    My guess is that Activision will release the patch when it's ready.

    Controversial, I know.

    So that would mean in the next three weeks if his words are true. Probably quicker if the only thing needed is a check made by Activision, which is certainly necessary to avoid having letting the CA staff putting in a virus as payback for our relentless whining, or even worse, saying that they fixed the 56-bug and later on we notice it has become the 55-bug

    ... we're now expecting the patch to be released tomorrow. I'll apologise up front if this turns out not to happen, but this is the latest we have from Activision.

    Angry

    And now it's no longer out From Xymph on the .com Forum: " Bad news folks: despite Gil confirming the patch was official, Activision states that it was released prematurely, and is in the process of taking it off their own download server, as well as requesting all mirrors to pull their copy.

    So regrettably and reluctantly, 3D Gamers is no longer carrying the file. [:\]

    I'll let everyone know as soon as we've got the *real* official patch online."
