I really hope to bring you some better news soon.
If I was a tester, I would play day and night for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Unfortunately we don't have testers in-house (in Larian Studios). CDV is in charge of testing the patch, and we have to wait for them.
Lynn, we realize that CDV is testing the patch, but that has been happening for quite a long time. They obviously can't be doing that in a vacuum, and must be sharing defect lists, etc. with you guys at Larian (or how else would any problems be addressed). So, why can't you give us an update on the status. I know its problematical to give out hard dates to people, but as was stated by others on the old forum, an occasional status would be appreciated by your customers. I remember an update from Lar near the end of December saying he hoped the patch would be out shortly (like in a couple of weeks or something). So I went away and played some other games in the meantime. Threee months later, still no patch and Larian is shovelling off the responsibility to CDV (a pretty scary thought in itself).
I'm not trying to flame you or Larian, and I really love the game, but a lot of your customers are really looking forward to a patch and I think you guys could be a little more forthcoming with information. The "We have to wait for CDV" smacks of towing the corporate line. Hope it has not come to that for you guys. Btw, for all the "defenders" that will say wait till it's done, I agree, no sense releasing a patch unless it works right. All I want is a realistic status of this issue, not a "it's not in our hands anymore".
Astral,
[still waiting after many months for that all elusive new patch] <sigh>
