Heres leaked patch. Thing works online normaly, but you must be carefull when you install it. Patch must be installed over vanila 1.0 game, becouse if you install it over 1.1 you will get some serious problems.
It apears click behind bug is fixed, other than that is basicly the same, with spears being now actually usefull against horses and that two handers now work. I'm still to check if there is any improvement in lag-performance at 3v3 and 4v4.

[TosaInu]

Moved.

Edit: Sorry Lavos. Didn't see the notice that CA allows distribution of the leaked patch.

Not only that it may not be a good idea as the new official patch may not be compatible with it or it may cause some kind of error. There must be a good reason they withdrew it.

[Lavos]

Reason is that installer is borked

Well you seem to have made your way around it. It cant be that hard to fix. Is been almost a week now .

[KrooK]

Hehe guys I never questioned...
lack of skills into ca team :)

[pike master]

nobody has tried tried to play multiplayer using the leaked patch yet?

I did a 3vs3 with some Celtiberos and two Chaos members, no lag at all, games a 1000 times better than it was before, infantry is actually useful, really changes the stlye that you play.

And the real one will be out ?

We don't know when - the patch is being reworked as it did not fully eradicate the sally passive AI bug.

As Ive mentioned in another thread, whats needed here are seperate patches for sp and mp. In mp who the heck cares how the AI behaves? The needs of the two communities are very different in many instances. Release the damn patch for us at least then. Many of us never play sp. If its safe I then suggest the whole mp community get together and dl this leaked patch if it works as has been claimed here.

PS If you just copy the folder and locate it somewhere else would it work like it did with MTW? I mean can I have two copies of MTW2 with different patches? One for sp and one for mp?

[pike master]

so its smoother? sounds interesting.

must have fixed the network coding.

To make it shorter - considering rumours and comments on .COM, does anyone knows if are we going to see 2nd patch befor the expansion or not?

Definitely, those people saying the patch is coming with the epxansion are just whining.

[Colossus]

I have a question, and it is sensible unlike other ones I may ask here, does the 1.2 come with the expansion (like 1.3 did with BI) as with download limits, and the fact I dont play m2 much (prefer rome) it might be easier.

[Monarch]

Definitely,

lol just like it was definitely coming out a month ago

Annnnnnyways, I don't even know what a passive AI is, but the ai is terrible and always will be, cut their losses and just release the dam patch and hotfix this thing later or include it in 1.3.

There is a saying in the mp community thanks to a certain bro member, it goes along the lines of "fix gs"...its only a matter of time before "fix ca" gets popularized tbh.

[Denali]

fix ca

[Colossus]

Im guessing that was Melon without even finding out, but then he mae another comment in the "starts in 93 minutes" thread, that was just as good.

Btw, incase you didnt get the message....FIX GS!!!!

[Jesus`]

fix ca

... +1

Guys we have been playing with the "leaked" patch since it has come out and I have to admit it delivers what it promised. The most irritating bugs (2ha and shiled bug) seem to be corrected, the speed of the game is also slower (at least for me) and it somehow seems more realistic.
Not many people have the leaked patch and so playing games mp is rather patchy (sic). As far as I can tell, it works fine and I wish more people could get on board so we can start playing more games!

Ye games slowing down makes sense as everything (almost) has got very least a +4 defense bonus due to their shiny new shields.

[pike master]

slow and smooth would be better than choppy and laggy

[Colossus]

1 vs 1 games can still take half and hour as it is, Rome hit the nail on the head, games went at the speed of the attacker!!!

Rome > M2

[pike master]

mtw/vi > than rome and mtw2

[Jesus`]

mtw/vi > than rome and mtw2

Thats going to far.


I cant wait for the patch on 1.2

AFAIK, it's effectively a +8 to defence, as the shield bug meant a shield stat of 4 used to be subtracted from the defence. The game speed in the battles is pretty good now. Both knights (who also have shields early on) and spears are more robust, so you don't tend to get those "blink and you'll miss it" wipe-outs that could happen before.

[LadyAnn]

So... so...
are we still waiting for the patch 1.2?

[tootee]

..waiting..

[tibilicus]

This patch was meant to be out so so long ago.


Unfortunatlly like many i've lost faith in CA and like so many before me my total war days are over. Good look to those of you sticking it out. I hope you actually get somethign out of it.
