Ready for official 1.013?
« on: August 06, 2009, 03:07:15 pm »
Hey everyone, if you've had a chance to check out 1.013M, please let me know if you find any issues.  I'll be planning on doing an official release of 1.013 before too long, so if there are issues that you find please speak now or wait until 1.014! :)

EDIT:  The official 1.013 is now out.

So far as I can tell, everything works nicely.  And boy does it look good!  Can't get over the difference in polish from when I bought the title a few weeks back to today.  Good stuff!

Thanks, and thanks for checking in!  We just went live, since I couldn't find any issues and no one else mentioned any.  I'm really excited about all the various changes that we're already seeing (and those still in store) on the visuals side for the game. :)

Game feels totally better now compared to a few weeks back. Make some new trailers and screenshots for the stores with this new patch, older versions seem like crap now you put that patch in. A biggy is how units handle themselves now and the logic for targeting.

Thanks!  Yep, the screenshots are already updated on GamersGate, and hopefully will be soon on Impulse also.  I'm not going to do a new trailer until more of the art is complete, but that should be within the next month or so.

I did a short test with all my saves.. couldn't find any bugs or problems.. stuff dies properly, stuff gets build proper.. and stuff explodes nicely

Basically, as long as it explodes i am happy ;P

I have to say though - because i modded a lot of things i wonder if there will be a Full 1.13 which i can install instead of a patch ?  And where can i get that if there is?

You can always download the full installer from here if you want to uninstall and reinstall from scratch (it should leave your savegames and settings, but back them up just in case!):  http://www.arcengames.com/aiwar_buy.php

You can also always get some specific extra upgrade files from the news entry in the forums:  http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,640.0.html

That might be more convenient, depending on how much you've changed and what you want to reset.  Let me know if those aren't what you are looking for!
