One patch has already been released, another is scheduled for release within a week. Steam makes patching a breeze.

Which is why I scratch my head when people accuse CA for using Steam for dubious reasons. They've stated they want to make constant updates and Steam makes it extremely easy to keep everyone up to date. Sure as hell beats waiting 6 months for one gigantic 600 MB patch.

Can anyone clarify version #?

I'm anal and haven't used Steam so I'd just like to double check it once it's finished installing.

Thanks, I do appreciate it.

Anyone?

I haven't been pushy in any thread yet, but this one I want to get ironed out quick.

As I've said, I would greatly appreciate some version # confirmation.

Thank You

I'm sorry ArtillerySmoke, I can't help you with the version number. And there doesn't appear to be very many active users online at the moment. You might have to just jump in without checking.

Ok...

I'll check back in a bit. I guess I can always patch it later, right?

If anyone can just check quick and tell me the version # it would be greatly appreciated.

It patches automatically, so you don't really have a choice. If you don't let it patch you an't play the game. (I think).

Ok. I've heard that was the case with some other games which emphasize MP, but I wasn't sure if this was the case with Empire as well.

I'm sure we'll get this sorted out eventually...correct version # should be up on Wikipedia soon.

I'll install later and check back here then.

At least with Red Orchestra which uses Steam, usually after you d/l or even before it automatically d/ls a patch you can view the current game news and find a change log. Patch #'s are somewhat obsolete with Steam because everyone gets the patch when one is out whenever they sign on to the service, as long as you play the game and are connected to the internet you'll get an update if one is available, if anything they might go by dates.

For example patch one came out on xx/yy/zzzz, down the line (days/weeks/months) patch two might read aa/bb/cccc, all that information can be found in the change log which is available on Steam.

I think its difficult, or almost imposible to have patch mismatches for MP because the game will always update to the latest version if there is one available.
