Where is 3.10 patch for ANW owners? It is almost a year since Ultimate Edition release and still nothing! :-?
We are are happy to announce, along with Advanced Gaming Systems (www.advancedgaming.biz), the release of the v3.11.1 update for the Advanced Naval Warfare portion of the powerful modern naval strategy game Harpoon – Ultimate Edition.
This comprehensive update adds in an updated Database, perfect for scenario creators and editors to tailor their scenarios to their choosing with more variety. The update also fixes and improves the Boarding and Takeover feature for those daring players that bring the fight to their enemies in the water just that much closer! Other additions include a new victory condition that requires the possession of certain units, which works similar to the Protect Unit victory condition.

Honestly. How hard is it for their programming team to go down your list issue by issue and fix each one?:nope:
Is the Commander's edition any better in that regard?
It's a shame that Harpoon ANW is really the only game in town when it comes to a sim that covers everything that it does but then they let it get filled with bug after bug after bug.
I wish some other company would take over Harpoon development who will actually do it justice. "Command" looks like it's going to be a shoe-in for the next Harpoon if everything works right. It already is surpassing what "Harpoon 4" was supposed to have been before AGSI canceled development on it. It might be nice if AGSI devoted some development time to creating a new engine that uses the latest Harpoon rules set that isn't so full of bugs.
The only reason I can imagine for all these issues is that they have one or two barely paid part time programmers in their company who barely have time to devote to any coding or playtesting.
I firmly believe that every Harpoon bug could be fixed within 6 weeks, if there was the will to do so.
Until that happens, this albatross will continue to hang around their neck. :dead:

You would think that if they have a military contract for their "MilSim" that they would be more vigilant in squashing those bugs.
You would think that their military customers would be stomping on them.
I know that I, as a consumer, am not going to blow my cash on their product until I see the massive level of bugs gone.
Maybe we can hope that some team of crackers reverse engineers the code and goes in, fixes the bugs themselves, and presents the fixed version to AGSI. This is probably a pretty doable venture with some smart people. There are hobbyist crackers who do this kind of thing as a hobby. I used to know someone who, whenever he would find bugs in a game he liked, he would "reverse engineer" the code, fix it, and then re-compile the thing. And he did it for fun.
Wishful thinking that someone would do that in this day and age.
I really hope Command follows through on being the next Harpoon.
Is the Commander's edition any better in that regard?
HCE is a bit better, but they have also pretty much given up fixing bugs and just sit around complaining why no one wants to help them. The overall level of function is probably higher in HCE than in ANW/HUE.

Who knows what that game will be like. They make a lot of claims, but there's no way to know since it isn't publicly available. At least Harpoon is out there for anyone to check, bugs and all.

That's just another excuse. If you don't have the resources to do it properly, better to not do anything at all. They took the money and now won't deliver a functional product. This is the same thing that has happened with NWAC. That game is half-assed, too.
You would think that if they have a military contract for their "MilSim" that they would be more vigilant in squashing those bugs.

I doubt that their military customers have much use for them. However, if all they want is a program to track a few units moving around a map, then the game is fine for that purpose. If they actually want an intelligent AI, then they are probably looking elsewhere.

A (crazy) idea :
We should gather and organize a fundraising in order to buy the license and fix those endless bugs.
I heard that someone tried to do just that, a long time ago. The number was supposedly in the 'high six figures'. Only someone truly delusional would place such a value on Harpoon (and much less on the current state of the game.) :rotfl2:

Is Larry Bond still involved with AGSI? He's been working on the next iteration of the Harpoon rules for a LONG time. Does he have any interest or clout to get the bugs repaired?
He owns the rights to the rules and he licenses the computer rights to AGSI to make the game. That's all that is publicly acknowledged. No one knows what (if any) conditions are included within that license agreement. AGSI's bungling has gone on for years. So, he is apparently satisfied with their arrangement.

Matrix Games and Advanced Gaming Systems are proud to announce the long-awaited release of the promised v3.11 update for Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare.
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3324820&mpage=1&key=�
This patch will bring the Advanced Naval Warfare (ANW v3.9.4) version up to the Harpoon Ultimate Edition (HUE v3.11.1) standard.

The actual miniatures rules that the game is based on is about that much, but it's totally worth it, even if the game actually never hits your game table, in my opinion. But it isn't for everyone. Only the most hardcore simulation naval gamers should go for it. I'll put it this way. I've learned more about naval engagements from reading the manuals for "Harpoon4.1", "Fear God and Dreadnought", and "Command At Sea", than I have from all the history books I've read. They're HORRIBLY complicated but extremely accurate in their portrayal of naval warfare on a tabletop (or map. You don't even need miniatures for it).

Yes, the Patch 3.9.4 came out over four years ago. I guess they wanted to get everyone to re-purchase the same buggy game under the Harpoon Ultimate Edition name.

Fortunately I did not buy Ultimate Edition but I was waiting three years for release of H3 ANW free update. This task was completed yesterday! :rotfl2:
However I am not up to date with current state of Harpoon 3 development. What interesting features were added in H3 ANW 3.11 patch? What is difference between ANW 3.11 and HUE 3.11? Is Players Database ver. 13.1.2 compatible with H3 ANW 3.11? What database and scenario editors should I use now with H3 ANW 3.11? Can I buy Harpoon 3.6.3 version separately today?
BTW, there is another new naval strategic game called Steam and Iron. Is it worth buying?

This occurs primarily in multi-player games, but has been reported in SP (by Shemar), too.

I've always wondered why it's so hard for AGSI to even look at your list and take a look at the code and I hope to "the maker" that their "MilSim" isn't in the same boat, otherwise, they're probably going to upset the wrong people. The only reason I can imagine that they havn't looked at your list and implemented fixes is that they're very short handed and they're working on a lot of military contract stuff. If it's any other reason, they're just being crooks.
Well, it isn't "my" list. It is simply a compilation of all known bug reports from Harpoon sites around the web. I just collected them and included a fair number of discoveries of my own.
I strongly believe that their H3MilSim product is in the same poor condition as the commercial ANW version because ANW is the same program with fewer functions. You can check out the AGSI comparison:
http://www.h3milsim.net/features/
AGSI has publicly admitted that the Australian Department of Defense was the prime motivator behind the addition of MP (which supposedly justified the 2006 ANW release). Now that the MP feature is totally corrupt and non-functional, it is hard to believe that any of their military contracts (if they still exist) would not notice it.
The HUE v3.10 was released nearly 3 years ago in 2010 and the MP feature was non-functional at that time and remains so to this very day.

I firmly believe that every Harpoon bug could be fixed within 6 weeks, if there was the will to do so.
Until that happens, this albatross will continue to hang around their neck. :dead:
I honestly think this is a matter of just repackaging old games for resale. There is likely no ongoing effort to support this very old product.
I had the original PC version back in '90 and visually it hasn't changed. They simply made the same game run in windows.
