The link to the v1.34 patch is under support on the Larian web site. Patch releases are also commonly announced, in addition to reviews.

As far as where you direct anger, I think Kiya meant Larian (who did not make everything perfect in the time they were given) vs CDV (who rushed the release, gave very poor support, took a very long time to do the quality assurance for the patch and have a previous patch on their site with a known bug that could seriously effect games started before installing the patch).


My point tho.. is if you have 3 options which you do..

www.cdv.com
www.divindiviity.com
www.larian.com

The automatic assumption for finding a patch for Divine Divinity is at the DD website not at larian or cdv.. and at the dd website there is no link to 34 patch.. only to 33a patch...

As for times taken to do a job that usually comes down to a cowardly yesman in the devs team.. its usually the guy you nod to every morning but cant remember his name..we had that where i worked at, 1 guy was always allowing stupidly short time releases on games software which most often hadnt even finished alpha...nothing worse than not even having the basics setup when some prat tells the publisher that the game will be finished in 3 months and it actually wont be ready for another 2 years! I can understand that. It always annoys me when a publisher announces a 2nd version to a game then tells you it'll be out in Nov 2003 then a few months later its feb 2004 then late 2004... and so on, watch previews for Doom3 or HL2 or other rpg games..publishers have alot to answer for, unfortunately, most software companies dont have the courage to sell the games themselves they prefer to leave that to someone else... this often in itself limits the supply.. i think this is why many european games have reached few outlets, whereas games sold directly from the manufacturer have made world wide reviews..The difference between Electronic arts.. EA made games and sold everyone elses..its just a pity alot of EA games are rubbish..but now EA is one of the biggest supplies.. simply because they published thier own games..
