Load/save patch confirmed for RTW

**screwtype** · 08-25-2005, 14:05

The Shogun has confirmed that there will be a patch to fix the load/save bug for RTW. The relevant part of the msg is here:

Q. So what's happening about the patch for the load/save AI issue.

A. As I said before this will be addressed in BI and we hope to release a patch shortly after the release of the expansion. I am delighted to say that this is definitely the case and the elves that work in our test department are currently busy making shoes... no that's not it, I mean they are currently testing the patch. The patch will also provide cross version compatibility for online play. So if you don't want to buy BI you don't have to, however you should because it rocks!

Good news indeed. So far it looks like Sega gives more support for Total War than EA and Activision. Lets hope it continue like this

Yes it's definitely a shift in policy, and a welcome one. Never before has the original game been patched once the add-on was released. Activision wouldn't even pay for the VI v2.01 patch despite the "all kings die at 56" problem.

The Sega buyout may turn out to be a very good thing after all. My hope is that the "Total Warrior" series will please the fast-action arcade fan, making some money for CA and allowing them to offer the "Total War" option for gamers who want to go to a more realistic level.

I totally agree with your comments Doug-Thompson

Thanks, Jochi. Interestingly, "Total Warrior" is coming out the same day as the "Total War" expansion pack, according to IGN.

This is indeed an impovement (cross version compatability).

Very good news!

Good news indeed! Now I can fit in an hour of gaming before work each morning safe in the knowledge that I'm not hamstringing the AI (just my marriage!)

Glad to know that pressure from the fan base can influence their decisions.

I wish there was a patch for that...
