When is the offical patch expected?

Have found numoris bugs....all listed in the 1.01 read me.

How ever I would like to state that cloaked ships actualy do give off a distertion field in view which is not shown on screen. Where the ship is you can not see the stars thru it.

Not sure if anyone else has a problem here..but the charge time for Romulin weapons is a bit much. The avg time for everyone else on all weapons would cycle and fire at least twice if not more beofre the Romulins do once. This alone cause's Romulins players to sit idol in cloak for great lengths of time which usealy all damage done can sometimes get repaired:/

The official answer which was written on thurs, feb 6 was that it would probably be released "this week". Somehow, that seems a bit doubtfull.

Yeah, but Harry didn't say the magic words "...or I'll eat dirt."

Therefore, it's not really official.

Here is a simple equation to determine the current release date of the patch.

Let the days of the week (x) be ordered numerically, from 1-7, starting at saturday.
Let Y equal the release date

Y = ( (X + (7-X) ) (7-X) ) / (7-X)

Examine.

Y will always equal 'Friday' Until such time as friday is reached. Then, the answer becomes N / 0, which gives an answer of infinity, or, if you prefer, Never.

However, if you apply calculus to this, you can set up a Limit table, by which we can readily determine that, on fridays, the patch can be expected to arrive during the value known as 'soon', until saturday, when we can determine once again a friday release.

NOTE: This was entirely in jest. Taldren and Activision are doing the right thing testing further. But its still fun to laugh.

Dave "ATI RULES" Ferrell

mentioned on another thread somewhere in the forums that He heard from a guy who he met in a restaurant whose sister once dated the guy who is in charge of telling people when the patch is going to be released said that Valentine's Day is the new Patch Release Date. But don't quote me on that.

Dave recieved a phone call from someone with a disguised voice that told him the patch would be out within two weeks.

However...no mention was made about which game the patch was for...and it could have been a wrong number.

For all Dave knows it could be a patch for "The Ultimate Barbie Total War Combat Mission Deluxe" game.
