AVWW Beta 0.971 "Release Candidate 2" Released!

[Wanderer]

Hm, I can appreciate not everyone wants the middle-mouse wheel to swap abilities around, but I liked that.  How do I get it to do that again?  In settings, it doesn't appear to detect the wheel 'rolling', only clicking, which isn't what I wanted it to do.

Edit: Nevermind, found it.  Needed to use 'mouse axis'.

Updating my game to the latest version kind of botched my game from the looks of it.
Uninstalling and reinstalling had the same problem, so now i'm redownloading the AVWW client and see if that fixes things.

I'll let you guys know in a bit if that solved things.

edit-
Solved it, though now i'm on version 1.000 already?
Hm, that also stops me from joining servers running on version 0.971
Starting to wonder if for some reason this fake 1.000 thing is what ruined my game in the first place when i tried updating it.

P.S.
Sorry about disappearing a couple weeks ago like i did and not really responding to the mantis stuff anymore.
RL injury + pain med made it impossible for me to play anything or for that matter sit behind my pc for a while.

Hmm. I'll try updating from 0.971 to 1.000 too and see what happens.

Nothing seems broken at first glance, at least. Hmm.

I'm not sure what messed up your game, but it's not a fake 1.0 No, that is the real deal.

No worries. Hope you feel better!

I suspect it might've been caused by it somehow skipping some patches in between (only showed 1 update both attempts) or not being compatible with my 0.500 install (when i freshly installed it)
Alternatively, it could be just my dumb luck again heh.

No worries. Hope you feel better!

Yeah i already am, thanks

Wow, haven't played this in a while. I just updated from version .922. Anyway, I just wanted to throw in my congrats on version 1.0, it's been a crazy ride from the alpha build I first got my hands on. Great job guys!

And thank you for all your help from the alpha onward

I take it that 1.000 is just 0.971 copied to a new version number?

If we already have 0.971 (upgraded to 1.000), would there be any reason to download and run the full 1.000 installer when it comes out on Monday? I remember in AI War that if you merely updated the beta to the 5.000 release, you would miss out on some of the new music tracks the full installer would come with and add in for you.

I think the only real difference between .971 and 1.0 is the manual, which Chris' wife did a fantastic job putting together.

[x4000]

Yeah, I think you do miss out on the manual if you use the updater, but that's the only thing.  And you really don't need the manual if you've already got the game installed, I'm quite sure.

Beyond that, 1.0 is already done and out; I went ahead and updated the wiki to explain: http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AVWW_-_Beta_Series_3_Release_Notes#Official_1.000

Things just don't get "official" until Monday, but beyond that there's no difference.

EDIT: Oh, and -- the installers on our site are now the 1.0 installers anyhow.  So if you've had any trouble with the game at all, or you're dying to get the manual, just fire those up and have at it!

[mrhanman]

Woohoo! I just took out my first 1.0 Overlord! 

Congratulations, guys, and well done!
