Are you satisfied with the leaked patch?

[Cheetah]

Obviously, this is a question only for those who have the leaked patch. Are you satisfied with the content of it? Please explain if possible.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

I voted "happy"
The big bugs are gone and only the odds & sods remain. Definately brings the game into the realm of playable. I am sorry to say that pre patch I was a whinner and to me the game was playable by the slimmest of margins.

But thats all gone now provided no-one does something silly between now and final patch release.

I would be very interested to know why someone voted not satisfied and gah!
Did they play the patch?

[Budwise]

First, can you edit it and put in an option for those who aren't using it but curious and another one for those who won't use it until the official one comes out. I personally will wait until its official.

Also, how do you make a poll? I have a good one but I don't know how.

[Malcolm Big Head]

I voted happy. It does seem most of the major issues are gone but I have not spent enough time with it to trust it.

[_Tristan_]

I voted happy...

Played just a little... Not enough to see if all worked correctly (which I think it certainly doesn't) but enough to see that a lot of the problems that made me mad before have been dealt with...

To my experience, it feels almost like playing with Carl's PBFixer...

So I'm a happy camper...

[Whacker]

Voted so-so. It's a step forward, but still a lot of work left to be done.

[RickooClan]

not satisfy.

Everytime i sally out a siege i just hesitate if i should shot the enemy dead on their lovely ram or ladders......

If this is the final patch i would stop playing this game i think.

[Derfasciti]

Not satisfied since I can't get it to work

[Yun Dog]

I vote Gah for the following reasons - I must say I havent played the patch - but I have been reading the 1.2 bug thread so I feel I can still comment

a) leaked patch - wheres the real one - GAH!
b) still passive AI on sally - OMG seriously is it this hard to program the AI to attack - sounds to me like some serious underlying framework or logic problem - deep in ground in the code
c) check out the bugs list - unit cohesion - path finding - chasing routers - hmm no changes there

I stopped playing this game for 2 reasons - firstly I am waiting for my new system so I can actually get some satisfaction out of the grotuitous graphics - atm my system with the lowest setting the game is worse than RTW (unit appearance and distinguishing at distance) - and runs real slooooowwww.
- secondly EB 0.81a is out and simply blows MTW2 away

I am looking forward to playing this game again briefly to soak up those graphics - when I get the new PC

but after that I fear it will go on the shelf for a couple of years till a decent mod comes out - and there are more units (than every faction spearmen, swordmen, cav)
- every city the same - take one take em all = no difference

this game needs some serious work to give it any longevity

[Zatoichi]

Well, I'm pretty darned happy with the patch so far - it got me back to playing the game after a very nice 2 month interlude with EB... As for the unit cohesion, path finding and router chasing issues - these have been made so much better by the patch in my experience at least (I play on large unit settings, so maybe it's more of an issue for people playing on huge?)

Yes, there are still issues that need a little bit of work, but I'd say it was a very good effort by CA overall. Now I just hope that when the patch is officially released, they'll have managed to fix a few of the more obvious omissions.

I think you are right there actually. I find that larger units in both Rome and M2TW are more awkward to use. Doesn't stop me though

Well polls are pointless eh? There's votes from people who havent even tried the patch

Hey I voted GAH!... sos not to unfairly influence the purity of the poll

edit but IMO the fact we are having a poll about a leaked patch rather than a legit one says it all... GAH!!!!

[zarker]

what is this? :)

[Butcher]

Interesting. I might re-install it when it comes out officially.

[Budwise]

Urrgggg, I voted not satisfied because I installed it and although the extra screen on the startup doesn't bother me, I had a CTD during the loadup screen of a battle. Yes it was a siege but thats fine.

I will be autocalcing until the new patch comes out.

[HoreTore]

Budwise, that was the reason it was pulled back. You have to do a clean install of the game before applying the patch, skipping the 1.1 patch. Then it works like a charm.

[Gaius Terentius Varro]

gunpowder delaued for 50 years - very good
Passive AI (and not only sieges) -Still bad
Hashashim now the most uber overpowered unit in game - Bit silly (5 units left after 100 years out of original 20 , all 3 gold chevrons and lose on average 2 men per unit in sieges against knights/bodyguards

[Quickening]

What's this?

[SpaceUnion]

Just a question, I know CA said they would release a cinematic editor for the replays for M2TW in Update 2 and I'm wondering did they include it in the leaked patch? I'm using M2TW for a history project on middle ages and I was hoping they had included it in the leaked patch, if not I'll just do it another way.

[Gaius Terentius Varro]

What's this?

Appears now 1290 instead 1240

[Kryptonitus]

I voted happy. Diplomacy seems to be working better and running down routing armies is alot better. I don't know if it was part of the patch but my assassins seem to be working better also.

[Tyrac]

I voted Gah. I cannot get it to fully install for some reason. Very frustrating since I read these boards a few times a day and it seems like such a waste to play without it.
