Default Re: About Patch or Version 2.0

For those who have not done a "patch," (I have in a number of games), remember that it requires research and testing... LOTS of testing.

Sometimes when you fix one problem, you cause another. You won't know that until you test it thoroughly. A patch is not a "quick fix." Its a rather complicated, long process.

Keep that in mind. I've been involved in efforts where a patch was sent out prematurely only to require another patch to fix the former one.

I remember one instance working with a now defunct gaming company where test patches were being sent out every day to the patch testers. It nearly drove me crazy...or should I say crazier. I finally just decided to download the test patches once a week and work with them.

I'm sure SP-Camo (and you!) do not want one patch, then another patch, then another.

It will come, just like the game came. I reiterate, keep playing the game. Enjoy it. When the patch does come, enjoy it and the changes it will make hopefully for the better.

There are lots of scenarios and some nice campaigns to keep us occupied in the meantime.
