Patches discussion.

The games seems cool, needs some refinement BUT IT NEEDS A PATCH ASAP!! Crashing to desktop and losing all progress?? I have played the first 30 minutes 30 times.... Patch when? and if you can't make it work, refund how?

Hi Frnd,
I agree with You.....I patch game on 25 April 2011 with Patch 3 (Build 1732) relesed on 14 April 2011. but Still it Crased. >:( ... :-[... :-/ ....
The games seems cool...:)...BUT IT STILL NEEDS A PATCH ASAP...!! Crashing to desktop and losing all progress?? I have played the first 30 minutes 20 times.... But Not worrking....it is also not saving game...every time i have to play from Starting....Game DEV. need to do need full ASAP....

Patch 1.4 will be soon at GG and Impulse. I upload patch 1.4 on Friday. But still waiting. May be holidays?!

1.4 is now available on GamersGate. I have to wait until tomorrow to try it out now though since it's 4am :(

I've played with the 1.4 patch for about 10 minutes now. Having the names of components show up in the Factory is really great. The double-click is extremely useful. However:

"Added tooltips for minerals panel (Mineral names)"

I have no tooltips showing up on the minerals panel.

Hmm... With 1.4 and I supposed to have access to the Sci-Center and Nuclear Power Plant in the first mission? Not only do I have access to the Missile tech in the Sci-Center, but I also have access to *all* Economic techs. It seems like I should have access to just Inertial Guidance 2 but not Inertial Guidance 3 in the first mission. If we're going to have access to the Economic techs then maybe just be able to research Wind-Gens and nothing else? Something basic like that.

I don't see a big problem there, they [economic research] do not do much. The "tech progress" happens in missile tech and it is enough.

We added tool-tip in help panel (lower panel) when mouse over picture of mineral in mineral panel.
I have no tool-tips showing up on the minerals panel.

About research. I don't limit this from v 1.0. Basically it has little effect on game play, so I decided mark all economic tech as Tech level 1 technology.

upd. I agree with cubr.

1.4 is stable now? Have you any crashes to desktop?

Gamer'sGate upload patch faster then Impulse at this time. :) 1 day - this is truly fast. Patch 1.3 (or 1.4) players waiting about 10 days.

Hmmm, every time I have a seen a nonsense post like the above made at other forums,...it has always been followed by a major spam outbreak,..or a the website/forum being hacked. You guys might want to keep your eyes open.

I checked forum every day (or about every day), and I deleted all spam topics, 12 oct I closed open registration ( http://www.polynetix.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?virboard=general;num=1318429281 ), so there is no new messages on our board with spam now, but may be some old account that I forgot ban can write spam. I think this i rare. I fight with spam, every day I delete 4-10 registrant that waiting approval. Like this

With patch 1.7, the game is running well and I am liking the Save/Load feature. Unfortunately, the text in the research descriptions is all scrambled together. I did not have this problem before 1.7.

This happens when I open the Research window and click on any of the available Techs. On the right side the description is unreadable.

We found this bug, and fix it. Fix will be in next patch 1.8.
