I check both official homepage and here twice a day for the news of the patch.

The patch was originally supposed to come out by the end of January but with the recent secondary stat fix it is not unreasonable to think sometime in the first or second week of February.

This is great news!!

Good decision by CA.

Good to hear they will fix it. Also nice that this has come from the community - a sign that CA do pay attention to the gamers.

One thing that may add to the delay a little is, because this was never spotted originally, there may have been one or two tweaks built into the game's 'killing engine' which were designed to counteract the (now known as a) bug's effect. These would obviously now have to be removed which would add a bit more time to the process. Still, better to fix it than ignore it.

Cheers,

Rob.

I love the comment that 'the game still works and is extremely playable'. That may be true, but given the number of players who seem to have stopped playing because of the many problems and are waiting for the patch (including me), it doesnt appear to be very re-playable.

sadly, i'm just waiting for future mods. vanilla rtw is worse than vanilla mtw was, imo. even though they made some conceptual improvments (e.g. diplomacy, trade, forts), CA just didn't implement them well. after only a couple of weeks i find i enjoy playing medmod-mtw much more than vanilla rtw

maybe i should try out rtr or spqr....
