News on the patch.

**Veresov** · 11-29-2006, 23:18

Shogun on the .ORG mentioned that some news on the patch will be released this week or next. While it is good to hear what progress is being made, this allows means that the patch isn't going to be finished anytime soon. I will not be surprised if this patch isn't released until 2007 but this is my personal opinion.

The big question in my mind is why the unpacker has not been released.. This does not require any QA and could be released now. At the very least this would be a nice gesture to the community and to those of us that have owned this game for over a month in its currently buggy state.

Why do you think that? Wouldn't that mean it will be released in a week or two?

EDIT - Oops, sorry re-read your message. NEWS of the patch will come out in a week or two.

If the game is so buggy, are we sure all the bugs have been found so they can be corrected?

More to the point expect 3 or 4 patches to get it up where it should be. I would expect the ist patch soon ish..then a delay with a much more intensive patch..then a couple of minor ones..

The game isn't so buggy, in fact, the game has no bugs. The patch is taking a long time so that people get impatient and irratated.

Seriously, CA apparently only wants to do one patch. There are a ton of documented bugs such as broken animations, uber peasants, a cavalry charge problem (acknowledged by CA), siege problems, and so on and so on. This is going to take some time to correct.

Clarification, please?

I believe he was being sarcastic and was making fun of the people who think CA is only holding the patch to irritate the community.

**Doug-Thompson** · 11-29-2006, 23:45

Ok.

**Aenlic** · 11-29-2006, 23:44

I think his first statement was intended as heavy sarcasm while the second displayed his real opinion. At least, it looked that way to me.

Because it requires the code that is in the first patch.
In other words even if they released the unpacker, it would be worthless since it wouldn't work until CA release the patch.

Hrmmm... So I'm somewhat perplexed at this point. Been doing some searching and reading from other forum members and a few other sites, and it may turn out after all that your 95% chance may not have been even close to 95% in actuality. I'd *really* like CA to verify this, but it appears that other characters in proximity to your assassin and target can affect the outcome, such as spys/etc, and it won't show up as a factor in your displayed probability. So your 95% chance may have really been a 5% chance.
