True update on the patch

Hmm... sounded like the last one, but at least they say something.

So we are not likely to get the patch until the new year?

So much for it being out this week, i suppose were looking at mid next week? i wonder what other errors they ran into? seems like they are haveing a big issue with patching and then creating an error and haveing to patch that error just to simply find out they possibly created another. When he says "It has been a frustrating time for us all" i belive him, i think there pretty upset over at CA at the progress of the patch.

They said before that SEGA gets 2 weeks to test it which would still make it before Dec 25. I suppose SEGA could push it through in a week if they feel its urgent to get the patch issued.

That is what happens from my experience participating on their beta teams. In addition, there are problems introduced that get missed during the testing because there is so much to test that you run out of time. For example, the RTW v1.2, v1.3 and v1.5 patches all introduced new bugs that weren't noticed during the testing.

I would sure hope they consider it urgent considering they have been talking about these problems since before the game. And more the reason to release the patch now, becuase it seems that no matter what they do there will be some sort of error. Im all for a big patch, but if its going to have problems "reguardless" i dont see the point of holding it back.

Dont play atm, realistically CANT play atm (no point with the combined issues) and another 2 weeks until "the day zero patch".

oh my.

Another 2 weeks? Dont forget the Xmas holidays. If we get it before mid Jan I would be very surprised.

As someone with more info on this than other people(i have my sources and i ain't naming them), i can safely say that the patch WILL be soon, and days not weeks(and yes, should be within a week).
