The patch really does make the game pretty much complete..

Still wont be playing on servers which use that disrepute penalty for not being able to join a game though, sorry.

****Bugs still to fix****

Refit/Repair bug still remains

Known, working on a fix but from info / statements made it's not viewed as a bug. Go figure.

Lag is worse even with Broadband

Could you be more specific? Durring testing no lag problems (ok very few) were encountered between broadband players. Where we lack firm data is with dialup. However if you could be more specific (and post said info in the SFC3 Beta forum) then we'd know what to look for.

People still get stuck in game

Known, it's a sync issue that has yet to be traced down and squished. However the instances should be rarer, if not please post in the SFC3 Beta forum.

When a battle dosnt start on the 2nd countdown, you get charged 1000 disrepute

I've gone over this already, see this thread that covers the reasoning.

Thanks for the response, I will post my bugs to this forum from now on. I will also request to said servers that they either dont run the disrepute penalty or re-emburse me as you said (in the link).

Cheers,

Blitz

****Edit****

Seriously I think this patch is a work of art other than stated comments, its made the game a far more challanging and enjoyable experiance.

Harry,

Maybe I'm just seeing the Monster Under the Bed, so to speak. Frankly, I hope that I am seeing phantoms. Otoh, from my distant pirch some of the patterns seem to indicate movement in the direction I spoke of in a previous post...

So like sporting gentlmen, let us say that in 12 to 18 months if things pan out the way I think they will you'll treat me and mine to a dinner that will not exceed in cost $100. If you are correct--more the likely--then I will treat you and yours to a dinner not to exceed $100.

Btw, what exactly is an "urk"?

Best,
Jerry

An "Urk" is an orc with an upset stomach..

GE-Raven · « **Reply #108 on:** February 26, 2003, 01:38:32 pm »

To answer for Harry the word is "Irk"

Irk - to annoy or bother.

Irksome is also commonly used to described behavior that annoys or bothers.

So if you "irk" someone you are normally hitting a pet peeve.

Thus ends the lesson for the day children.

Hi will the final patch be useable with a Dial Up modem connect to the Dynaverse ??

Blitzkrieg · « **Reply #113 on:** February 27, 2003, 04:48:43 am »

Well the point of the thread is:

Taldren want to support the game, despite whatever sales they are showing this and so do Activision. This is good we should all be very happy, I think anyway. Who knows what the future will bring, lets help these guys finish testing the patch (as its a public Beta), do this in a calm and constructive manner and enjoy the game for what it is.

This is a Taldren message board, so whatever game they next produce will be on here in some form. They will be far more trusting to peoples oppinions and willing to look at our feedback if we as a group of "fans" or otherwise, conduct ourselves properly here. This includes:

No blind support for Taldren
No trolling
No hyper overly critical slating remarks of the smallest mistake
No bad karma

I love Taldren they are the best thing since sliced bread, I hate all moderaters they suck, the refit/repair BUG ruins the game beyound beliefe and Im off to gun down innocent people with an SMG....

Thats just a bad example of what I meant.

Credo Narth · « **Reply #115 on:** February 27, 2003, 07:02:29 am »

As an aside, with the beta patch, I've noticed that my weapons groups no longer stay the same after a refit. No biggie, but I think it's a bug. Also, the game speed buttons are reversed. But again, no biggie.

Taldren would be the best thing since sliced bread if they fixed these things...

DONOTDELETE · « **Reply #116 on:** February 27, 2003, 07:45:36 pm »

Heh, Im used to it by now Toasty, lol. Suprised they did it to a blue coat tho.

I suppose Erik is simply trying to keep things totally neutral as regards the Taldren/Activision/Paramount triangle bit.

Have a nice day!

Hey Erik or David:

I noticed Dan from Activision in another forum stated

"Since we?re on the topic of patches, it has been widely discussed on this message board that Activision has a one patch policy, and I want to state unequivocally that this is NOT the case. Activision's policy is to release an official patch for a game once it has been thoroughly tested by both our production testers and then our QA team. This is to ensure the highest quality standards for the patch and to guarantee that the patch effectively fixes issues without creating new ones. The last thing we want to do is to publish a patch that might do more harm than good."

I hope this means we can look foward to a steady stream of patches like before without such a long wait.
