patch 2.08 is out

NT Jedi,

Did you ever play AD&D? Paralyzation effects effectively Lasted the entire battle in that game and, if memory serves, often had to be countered by a remove paralysis spell or some such.

I don't view paralyze's Lasting the entire battle as objectionable and in fact like this as a counter to supercombatants. Everything ought to have a counter.

I'm with PhilD.. the link to the Linux patch is dead! Whats up with this? Anyone know an alternative download link? Illwinter?

Damnit, I wish companies would host their own damn patches.... ;(

My only question right now is: Is there going to be a quickfix for Utgard? (who enjoy their new Abysian Units). (Within the week or so, not today)

If not. Can you mod specific themes as of right now or is it still limited to only the base theme.

Unfortunately, Illwinter doesn't seem to host their own patches. I tried...

We might have jumped in too quick. I havent seen any official post saying that the patch was out.

Check the Shrapnel home page... or the Illwinter site, for that matter.

Only, it isn't out for everybody

This patch seems to be off to a rather rocky start. So far, I've had run into the following:

1. Game vomits up an "SDL Parachute Deployed" error in stderr.txt when I try to play a turn: It occurs most frequently after I have hit Host to go to the next turn: Restarting the game entirely often clears the problem and allows me to play, even though I have changed nothing else. The bug manifests often, but with no guaranteed consistency: Sometimes it will occur even after a game restart, sometimes not.

2. Games with more than one nation designated as human controlled sometimes hang on turn generation: Once again, no consistency: Sometimes it hangs, sometimes it proceeds.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?

For a patch, this seems to have broken more than it's fixed....
