Is there a new official date for the patch?

Artur,

The patch will be released when it is ready.
As you already know, the patch was scheduled for release during the period of the weekend, but a last moment issue has postponed the release.

From my personal knowledge this particular problem is already solved so (perhaps) the time of release should be shortly announced.

cheers,
Pyros

p.s Just a small note: If neither Don or Andy had mentioned anything specific about the release of a patch, then no one would ever request an exact release date. You must understand that everyone and each of you receive amazing technical support from both Don G. and Andy G. and this is something very rare in the gaming industry. From my point of view whenever you don't hear news from a developer it is because he is totally devoted in the development of his project.
Please understand that these people have been working countless hours during a very big period of time for providing you with an excellent game.
Don't be so demanding, for something that doesn't really matter (few days of justified delay in the release of a patch).

I am very sorry Pyros BUT i was not demanding anything _just_ asking very nicely. I fully understand if there will be no more deadlines set, I have no problem with that. But if you make people being afraid to ask about things that is something else...

Artur,

Not only your contribution inside the SP community is remarkable but you are also a very nice person.
You are always welcome to ask whatever you wish but please keep in mind that the best questions to ask are the ones related with the "Why" and "How" (on the other hand the more stressing are the ones related with the "When exactly")...

Anyway, I don't know the "When exactly" and I don't care to ask for it, because I know very well that all the persons involved in this task (release) are doing their best to provide you with a great patch as soon as possible.

Friendly yours,
Pyros

I've tested a few games and campaigns for the SP series. I would like to make some observations.

1. Most of the people who playtest and design are not employed, but are volunteers. We have our own lives to look after.

2. Bugs show up and need to be fixed, then tested. Wild Bill will probably remember the release date Overshoot that happened to lost victories Mega campaign for SPWAW. IIRC it was several months.

3. The game will arive, but how would you like to DL a second rate patch with huge bugs in it? Sounds like a microsoft product.. needs updating every two weeks as a new Issue is found...
