Ich hoffe, ich pinkel jetzt in niemandes Garten...

Thread: New official patch 1.08Q

New official patch 1.08Q

Hello everybody,

latest beta patch 1.08Q is now the official patch.

Here you can download the patch for the full version:
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/3rdParty/WW1 GOLD/Patches/WW1_Patch_v1.0.8q.exe

And here for the demo version:
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/3rdParty/WW1 GOLD/Patches/WW1_DemoPatch_v1.0.8q.exe

Important: this patch is for Gold Edition only.


Herewith I listed all news...

[Version 1.0.8q]
*************

New features:
>> PBEM play mode now generates a PBM file every time the game is saved. This file contains the informations about local player. So, every time PBEM players must share a common SAV file because the game went out of synch, they are no more requested to modify the SAV file because the driver informations are stored in the PBM.
>> Updated the PBEM Manual PDF accordingly.
The purpose of this new features is to allow a "host-client" PBEM play mode: a host is designated among players, he is the only player who executes the end-turn procedure and saves the game, then he sends the .SAV and .MAP to all clients.

Improvements:
- Game updated to version 1.4.0 of irrKlang sound library
- Added some outstanding rendering performace improvements in map window
- Only HQs and GHQs are now displayed in the mini-map
- Major Land Battle AI is now more reluctant to retreat when one combat flank is won
(*) AI is now much more reluctant to play negative or self-killing events
- Large river crossing tests (performed during movements) are now automatically successful because they caused loss of synchronization in PBEM or Multiplayer mode
- Added memory lock checks in game audio engine to avoid crashes caused by memory access concurrency conflicts
- Corrected the picture of Turkish general Nureddin Pasha, commander of the 4th army in 1914

(*) Scenario corrections:
- Fixed the Event "England delivers Sultan Selim and Reshadieh battleships to Turkey" (FRA_003)
- The 'Strikes' and 'Nationalist Agitations' Events cannot occur anymore before 1917
- Added 'Mutinies' Event for France and Italy, it cannot occur before 1916 and has little chances to occur before 1917
- Fixed the Event 'Commercial submarine "Deutschland" arrives in Baltimore' wrongly scripted (not mandatory)

Fixed bugs:
- Fixed a rare bug in land battle AI that caused an infinite deploy/undeploy loop in case of major battle when 3+ corps were deployed on one flank and only 1 corps on the other flank
- RP stock level is now downgraded by one point when corps are eliminated during land battle after CR_Eliminated or MR_Eliminated results
- New PBEM mode now automatically sets the EventsDrawn parameter off (Turn section) when Clients load a shared PBEM SaveGame file
- Fixed crash in battle logs window
- Fixed bug in events loading procedure that made uneffective all die roll modifiers for event checks
(**) Fixed memory leak on game quit introduced by map performance improvements

(*) : not working for older savegames

(**) : fix introduced after the latest release of 1.08Q when beta.

Best regards,
Calvinus.

Grüße die werten Herren. Wir hätten eine Frage. Wir besitzen die Box Military Strategies jetzt haben wir ein kleines Problem und zwar mit der Sprachdatei. Wir hatten uns schon den Patch 1.08l? gezogen welcher die deutsche Sprachdatei beinhaltet. Allerdings ist dieser Patch nur für die Goldversion. Schließlich haben wir uns noch den 1.07? gezogen welcher wohl für die Classic-Version ist, allerdings ist in diesem Patch keine deutsche Sprachdatei enthalten. So nun unsere Frage an euch. Wie bekommen wir unser WW I deutsch? Hat noch wer der werten Herren eine Sprachdatei für uns über oder hat eine Ahnung wo wir uns eine ziehen können? Unser Dank würde euch auch immer hinterher schleichen.

[Snake]

Werter, geschätzter Trajan, wir haben keine Ahnung, ob es eine 'deutsche' Datei gibt, aber Wir können Euch versichern, dass diese auch nicht notwendig ist...ausser evtl. am Anfang, wenn man festlegen muss, welchen militärischen Plan man verfolgen will.

Es freut Uns auf jeden Fall, dass es doch noch Leute gibt, die dieses Spiel probieren! Es ist IMHO genial....hat aber leider seine 'Mucken' (alleine die Steuerung durch Maus).....und leider....wirklich leider....ist es bei mir am Ende immer abgestürzt!

Gruss Snake

[Trajan]

Sehr geehrter Snake. Danke für Eure Antwort. Dann werden wir mal sehn, wo die Reise uns hin führt und hoffen, dass uns ein Crash erspart bleibt aber warten wir es erst einmal ab.

Gruß
Trajan

Edit: Hätte euch gerne für eure Antwort gerept, geht aber leider nicht...
