Philippe is running tests on all the PCs in the office. I did the same on my side, of course.

We will post officially the patch as soon as possible, today.

[calvinus]

Not yet. The new MP3 playback library is not yet integrated. Sorry.

I have a day off from work and was hoping to get some WW1 gaming in,but my game is currently unplayable.
Since it is a little bit after noon on the east coast of the U.S.A, it must be just about quitting time in France,and I'm a little concerned that there will not be a patch today.
Any news?

Thank you!

Thank you!

As an American, today should be the start of a very long weekend for you. Hopefully, you will get game time in before Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Le Ricain, You are absolutely correct I certainly have much to be thankful for.

In the spirit of the holiday, to all in the U.S.A. and everywhere else in the world
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I may have missed it in the list, but thre is a huge improvement in RAM utilization. My RAM use has dropped by about 50%. Draging an dropping seemed smoother too.

Bravo!

[calvinus]

And you will see 1.0.4e beta with the new sound engine!!!
