Any ETA on the next patch?

Submitted by Brezgonne on Mon, 2006-11-13 14:40. Space Empires V General

The current mass number of freezes at the turn processing is totally unacceptable for any game, let alone one on it's 3rd or 4th patch. It is very much a game breaker and needs to be fixed before any other bugs are corrected. The only current work around that I have found is playing in windowed mode. I would suggest, as a simple fix, that the setting to turn off turn processing when SE is minimized simply be removed and have it process the turn no matter what just like in windowed mode.

I saw in the change log for the next patch that the other hugely annoying bug, the retreat but keep attacking till your out of movement points bug, has been squished. Very good.

Honestly I'm wondering what happened between SE4 and SE5? Did someone else take over writting the game or are these simply growing pains of going from 2D to 3D?

Welol end of November would be cool.. it would be one full month after buying the game.. and IF it gets fixed, I might actually be able to play a full game without losing it after maybe 40 turns! YEAH! a game that i can actually play weeks and weeks after purchase! weeeee!!! I think I might wet myself..

Let Aaron take his time to do the job properly. Otherwise we run the risk to have a patch which would create more problems than it would solve. That's what happened with the 1.08 to 1.13 “update” which has been released way to early (like the game itself btw)

Whoohaw! Heya Brez! Good to

Whoohaw! Heya Brez! Good to see ya bitching again.

Completely agree... And if I heard right, the turn processing hang ups might be related to rebelling planets becoming new empires. That's a game feature... but when the game cant process a turn, it's not, so mb that feature can simply be DISABLED? if he cant get a patch out now? C'mon now. I'd like to be able to finish a game. Just one...
