Heh, nice move by ACTIVI.  After a while no one will play on their 1.0 servers and they can justify taking them down.

BAH!

Thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work on the patch!

One question though: (And apologies if I've missed something obvious here) can someone confirm that the rank bug IS fixed as it doesn't appear on the list of bug fixes.  And to get my 'proper' rank do I have to restart a single player campaign?  I ask because I tried my save game (from release version of game near the end of the Klingon campaign) after installing the patch and I'm still a Lieutenant - do I need to start over to proceed in rank?  (I.E. do I not suddenly jump to the rank I would've been had the bug not been there from the start?)

Thanks, and sorry if that sounds confusing.

Cheers!

Is it true that the patched version of  SFC3 will not support online play by modem?  That certainly would "solve" the lag problem -- just wait until no one is looking and then toss the screaming little 56k runts in the river.

The rank bug is fixed in the beta patch.

As for the ATVI servers not being updated, it would be stupid to change it if the full patch is released soon and it would confuse people even more as to what version the servers are running.  But the most likely reason is probably because the beta patch is not supported.

Harry take it with a grain of salt some people have strong opinions but remember there just that opinions. My ? is why don't people post there bugs and what not in the sfc3 beta bug forum and not every where else maybe a new rule should be made like there is with off topic post ?

I usually do, with exceptions to things like this...it's how rumors start and pretty soon people all over different forums starting saying that it's true.  We went through this last year.  I just never understand how some people go from point A to point B and now all of a sudden Activision is dumping the license or is planning on sitting on it, when there's no indication that that is happening.

It just urks me sometimes...

Exactly my thought too.

Just a distant thought, a minor cynaptic flash: I wonder if Activision might wish to sell, assign, or otherwise divest themselves of their Trek License?

It would be a shame to see a company continue to hold a license in a name that they clearly are no longer interested in promoting.

Best,
Jerry  




here we go again...  :rolleyes:  




I suggest a more sensible use of everyones time would be to petition Taldren to reinstate the rolleyes feature.  I'm sick of this buggy forum, patch it please

Seriously I'm glad things have calmed down, but I do honestly wonder why anyone bothers to either explain or try to help us ingrates.

ps Give rolleyes back you pigs

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.

Quote:


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.

Quote:


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
