Yes, yes, now that the final release has gone gold there is no reason to not make available the patch.
Wating eagerly the next few hours :rock:

Anyone know what the ramifications are going to be with the new patch and the Lwami Mod?

Good stuff.

Anyone know what the ramifications are going to be with the new patch and the Lwami Mod?

I don't believe they (or anyone else that's sharing) has access to a DB importer. They'll have to redo all the stuff they've done to the DB by hand. A PITA to be sure, but not a show stopper.

We'll that's not entirely true.

If the database hasn't changed that much, we can simply use our database with a few modifications. Based on what Jamie has posted here, all that has been changed in the database from 1.01 to 1.02 is the thrust values for the sound vs speed, and we have already done that much more thoroughly and better than their "hotfix", so I'm hopeful that all we will have to do is remove our workarounds for the 1.01 bugs (like active sonar) and we can release right away. :up: :rock:

20 days left until it's "in the stores." With mfg and distribution times being what they are my guess would be that the patch is probably "ready" now. SCS may be holding it's release until the game is actually in the stores. Either way my expectation is that the longest we will have to wait is when DW is on the shelves. Anything sooner than that will be a nice surprise! :up:

The game has gone gold with new patch so the patch is ready. For me there is no reason to not release it now :hmm: . Only reason i can think of to keep it till Retail Release is so they dont have people bringing up any problems that the patch and so the retail version may have before retail version is released :down: . I hope i wrong again :oops: . Please release it sooner and make me sooo wrong :ahoy:

some info abouth 1.02 status at SCS forum

The BETA testers have found some discrepencies between version v1.01 and v1.02 that we would like to examine and potentially address. We want the existing customers to have the BEST possible version of DW. If that's v1.02, then we'll release it, if not we'll post another version (maybe v1.021? )

Don't have any additional information at the moment...
