When I was reading the chatlogs for the Last chat with Aaron. I noticed you guys talking about one Last patch for SE IV Gold. Is this true, will there be one Last patch?
When will it be released and more importantly what will it fix/add?

There was no mention of a new patch for SEIV in the chat logs of a few weeks ago. 1.91 was the final patch that was discussed about a year ago in the first round of chats. Check the dates.  |

Re: The Last of the patches.
Woops! Okay, my mistake. But why wouldn't Aaron do one more patch. I can think of some things I would love to use in SE IV.
And besides AT and Ed already spoke of bugs. They are not allowed in SE IV!!
But I'm sorry to cause this consternation among you guys. I should have checked the date.

Re: The Last of the patches.
He can only work on one massive program at a time. At the moment, that is SE:V.

Re: The Last of the patches.
IMO SE IV is a finished game and should never be patched again.
Do SE V instead.

Re: The Last of the patches.
I agree with Ruatha. Even when SEV is out he will be patching the bugs out of it for awhile. I see SEIV as a completed game as well and that it is bug-free enough for me.

Re: The Last of the patches.
I just wished our alien friends would come down and give Aaron a hand so he can get it done faster (lets face it, with everything he intends to put into it, he cant know the meaning of sleep)

Re: The Last of the patches.
What people are not considering here is that SE V is the patch for SE IV!
Think about it. Do you really think MM is starting over from scratch to make such a huge program as SE V? There's a sort of running joke among programmers that they are always working on the same program all of their lives because they always tend to implement the same 'understood' solutions to problems in whatever program they are working on. In this case he's going back and attacking the same problems with a better idea of what he is doing. Yes, he is also producing a lot of new code for new features but the same basic underlying problems have to be handled in any 4X strategy game. I'm sure that SE V will be close to 50 percent SE IV code when it finally comes into beta and not a whole lot less than that when it is actually released.
