Patch 1.4 is coming...

[asandir]

apparently it has ... rejoice Oh the masses!

[Orthanc]

Is it just me or is the game running a little faster with the patch. I think that's great. It feels more like the pace of a H3 game.



Happy with the paper doll...let's not be too critical here.

why the hell not?? They've had plenty long enough and then they come up with this?? It's a disgrace

[Mytical]

The game does seem to run faster and smoother for me. Yes the paperdoll was a step back, but it actually seemed to balance things a bit (not much mind you but a bit). Camera doesn't lock up every time you touch the mouse (I have a slower system so it did this to me), and it was more enjoyable all arround for me.

"let's not be too critical here."

Who's critical?! I'm just stating fact. It's sucky. They might just as well have added the misc slots and be done with it. It's better then before, but as a wise man once said: "the best piece of shit in a pile of shit is still shit!"

[Cleanpea]

They say "patch 1.3" in the official cite, but I want 1.4! Is it just a typing error, or what?

[asandir]

yes, yes it is .... people already be using patch 1.4, in case you hadn't noticed in the past, neither spelling nor proof reading are strong points for the companies involved

I may be stupid, but explain "paper doll" to me plse.

[DaemianLucifer]

Whats there to explain?Its a halfa$$ piece of...errr,work that they did,just like the rest of the game.

[Cleanpea]

In that case, I will start the download now

[The Mad Dragon]

So whats the official word on the patch? good or bad

[Cleanpea]

Someone said it makes the game experience smoother, and someone said it is too little detail. Someone said it messed up some editor objects. All over good. But I am now joining those glorious people that think it should have been like this from the start. I think Nival could have done more if Ubisoft didn't use rush and force with this game- Nival is good! But too small to say against Ubisoft when they want more time

[CloudRiderX]

Now that they screwed the paper doll up, they will have to fix it in ANOTHER patch. How come this is so difficult for them? Someone tell Nival to stop trying to do something different just for the sake of being different.



Meanwhile, back to H3....

Overal it seems positive,but just by a little.

Its easy when youre lazy

I downloaded the US version from GameSpot last night, 109mb I think.
I played it some last night and will play it more this weekend. Seems to work ok.

Actually DL if you are lazy you get it right the first time so you don't have to do it again. No I think they are just a little confused by what people actually are asking for. Somebody in the office probably thought of those little cutout dolls made of paper . Anyhow, things are looking up, and though there are a few problems, overall it has been positive. Now if only they would get rid of the negative without trashing the positive (which they seem to do) it would be great.

Shows that youve never been trully lazy yourself

[Caradoc]

'Creatures are now collected in dwellings." I hope that means what I think it does.

[Ryder]

I've downloaded the patch twice and it just doesnt want to install for me, I get an error message after selecting Englsih as the language.



Might try the autopatcher.

Ok, people seem to be negative about this, and it seems to stim from the paperdoll and Hot Seat. True, those things were bad, really really bad. Yet, they did take a step in the right direction, so lets at least give them credit for trying. Sure it should have been done earlier, and it should be better, but at least they have finally started on the correct path. This patch helped the memory leak (I think on really large maps there still exsists a problem, but it is better), the AI seems a bit smarter. I don't know if it still cheats however (havn't gotten arround to redoing the 'cheat' aspect yet). Sylvan was helped a little, so was inferno, and others didn't fair too bad. Inferno may even be able to go toe to toe with necros in large maps (lots of looms and the 5% extra for gating AND looms can = huge gated armies. And unlike necro's who get Skelly Archers you get some heavy hitters also. Plus you can gate your creatures right next to their ranged units to stop them being ranged (regardless where they put them at). If they lump all there creatures together a quickmeteor shower from your pit lords will show them the error of there ways . Anyhow, this patch should have been out months ago, but at least it is out, and there is more positive then negative. Still needs work though.
