Public beta-patch 1.01e discussions

[Pocus]

Dear players,

Here is the first public beta-patch for Rise of Prussia.

Don't be surprised if it comes so fast, according to many players having bought the game so far, the game is very polished.
The truth is that the big setup file you get when you buy a game online has to be provided to the download services quite some days before the actual release date, so this gave us some time to continue improving the game.

That being said, don't be surprised either if you see often new patches for Rise of Prussia. It has always been the usage at AGEOD to continue working on the content of the game. You can expect bug fixes, sure, but also AI improvements, interface tweaks, changes in game balance and orders of battles. This is the normal life of most games nowadays.

So without further delay, here it is:
http://ageoddl.telechargement.fr/latest/ROP_BetaPatch.zip

When the patch will be fully approved, we will provide you with a link to the official patch. Please note that beta-patch can still have some rare errors and glitches. If you are unsure you want to be confronted with potential problems, please only use the latest official patch (so far no officially approved patch has been released).

The readme is included when you install the patch. Here it is:
================================================== ========================
Rise of Prussia public beta-patch 1.01e
March, 08th 2010
================================================== ========================

The patch is a comprehensive patch, meaning it can be applied directly over your initial game installation setup version.


All saved games will be erased by the patch, as this version is not compatible with previously started games.
OOB
Changed Russian depot line in 1758, 1759 and 1760 and adapted supply assets accordingly.


Database
Changed Highlanders replacement type (to Light Infantry)
Thaddeus Kingsley is now William Kingsley
Changed uniforms for Royal Horse Guards
Added some British uniforms.
Corrected an erroneous Austrian leader portrait.
Interface
The battle report now displays the actual values of leaders, not the database ones.
Filter #4 now displays Nations in a gradient of colors (i.e Hanover, Hesse, etc.) and no more the loyalty of the population to each coalition (nb: filter #4 is now entirely moddable, see AGE Wiki).
Mountain passes now get a visual warning if they will be soon blocked by snow.

Playing with this, 1.01e, Prussian looooong campaign.
I have just had the Saxons in Pirna camp surrender at the end of turn 2 processing, I gained nm and vp and took 29,000 prisoners. I haven't seen any "Capitulation of Saxony " event messages or had any of the associated troop arrivals or replacements. I have never seen this event not fire before, even when the troops in Pirna camp have surrendered like this.

Edit. Ignore this post, the event fired 3 turns after the Saxon army had surrendered, I waited 2 before posting...... Didn't wait long enough

Questions about patch combatability for RoP downloaded from Steam moved here: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?t=16829

[Hohenlohe]

Dear Rafiki, have you any information about the future official Patch 1.101e and at which time we can await it?
I am preparing a RoP-AAR at the german SI-Games-Forum and I am in need of the Patch to start the AAR because there will be some necessary changes coming along with the Patch that will improve gameplay.
I hope the Patch will come this week.

greetings

Hohenlohe, a fan of Frederic the Great...

[PhilThib]

Yes, we shall have a patch very soon, in time for you to get it working for your AAR

[Pocus]

Right now you can safely use the public beta patch, which is very stable. In any case the next beta patch will not change the database drastically, so you'll be able to continue playing with it.

As for the first official patch, it won't be published before 2 weeks at least.

[Dunhill_BKK]

Can we have a better "placeholder" leader face, or at least one with eyes, nose and mouth? The featureless one in the game now makes it look unfinished.
