Where's the patch?

[Annette]

I just received a note from Andrew that he's finished with the fixes and updates that came out of the last round of testing is ready to begin the final test. Hopefully that will go quickly. Thank you for your continued patience!

It's a little disappointing that the game has been out for this long (6-8 months?) and there's no patch. I know new projects demand a lot of time, but I set Salvo aside right after I bought it when it was first available and am wanting to play but not without the needed patch. Please, can anyone offer a rough idea when we might be able to get it?

Thanks

A strong candidate for the final version of the Salvo update is currently in testing, and the release of the final update depends –to a large extent- on tester participation. More testers = faster release. So, here is your personal invitation to join the Salvo Update Beta. I am particularly interested in your participation because you have a system/situation that the update NEEDS to fix.


Check out the ‘Looking for a few volunteers! ‘ thread….

Thanks for responding Andrew. Perhaps my use of the word "NEED" was a little extreme. My slight disappointment is not so much that there is no patch yet. It's more that I want to play the game, (after watching a couple of Brit naval movies) but with the adjusted damage levels to be included in the patch. I also read somewhere that the game may get a graphics facelift, another reason to want that patch real bad! So I'm very much looking forward to the following fixes and more, as I understand it.

Battle tweaker. Change ship locations and build squadrons.

Fog error on some systems now fixed.

Adjusted damage levels.

I really wish I had the time to accept your offer to test the patch but I have no interest in multiplayer testing and having to play through every scenario, though tempting, will have to wait till the patch comes out.

Thanks again!

’Ve half vays off making you join ze Beta!’

Just kidding – you don’t have to if you don’t want to, but things are going slow with the testing and ANY additional testers would be a big help. Also – there is no actual ‘Shrapnel Beta Participation Enforcement Squad‘ SBPES that would ruff you up if you failed to test each and every game, at least not yet. That does not mean that Shrapnel (or Sprue) encourages casual testers, but all the testers are Volunteers, and it is understood that people have limited time.

Well – Back to Work.
