So, where is the patch ?
 

DW box on my shelf is already covered from 2 inchees of dust and its technology is becoming very obsolete but despiting I have already paid the game the patch is still floating in the dark limbo....since months.... :o

I am now pretty sure my elder " issues list " won't never be, neither partially, fullfilled and I think DWX guys have never considered DW an horse to bet on.

My DW copy is on sale,you can spot it also on Amazon starting from tomorrow.

P.S. my experience in terms of SA is growing and growing

:o :huh: :stare: :arrgh!:

Of course you will tell us when you have sold it.........................wont you ? ;)

hmmm yeah he might but i doubt it

The patch is coming "SOON"! :D

Who did you hear this from?

Good luck with your selling. I suggest starting with 65% of current market value.

It is a valid question: :yep:

I cannot play online, never could...major reason I purchased DW is for online play. :cry:

Hopefully, at least , Sonalyst will allow something along the lines of SCX so more drivable platforms can be introduced...

What do you think the patch is going to do? :hmm:

People can't make DWX without the patch.

While SCS is working tightly with the government right now to train REAL sailors (which is a really cool software job) a release date for the next patch would really be appreciate you know?

Originally the patch (and DWX) was slated for early August. Well... our 8th month has come and gone. I am beginning to wonder if we will see the patch by the end of november and DWX before Christmas. I'll wait no problem without female-dogging but mainly because I don't have much choice you know?

We may conclude this:

1. You live in a very VERY dusty place.

2. Your name is Jeff Bezos, because he's the only guy I could imagine that could use Amazon to sell his private stuff (I guess you meant Ebay LOL)

3. Your "experience in terms of SA" (whatever that means) grows well despite dust gathering on your copy of DW.

Why is DWX tied to the patch?

Why don't they release what they have?

I can't answer in their name (I am not part of the team), but DWX has "traditionally" been very very very slow (perhaps they are just being methodic LOL) in their work.

DWX is project guys do in their free time, and give away for free, so this is *not* meant as criticism, this is just sort of "explanation" for "younger" members of the community.

Thom (Thomasew) is the key person for DWX projects. Its very common of him to disappear from the board for months (I think his last post here was in June or July). So unless he decides to chime in on this thread, you will get no dependable info on DWX (I guess).

They or he (Thom) may be waiting for patch 2 (I don't know) but even if 1.02 is released tomorrow, I would not be expecting DWX anytime soon.

Feel free to correct me if anyone knows more.

I also don't see any reason why anyone would not be playing this great game NOW, regadless of DWX or patch 1.02 etc.

Because they want solid code before they come up with a magical way to transfer SCXIIc models to it and add new stuff as well. It just makes sense. If they don't wait then they'll have to do all the work over again to make it work with the patch. It's delicate work and these guys are dedicated. My hats off to them.

Yeah... I think Thomas' wife (or one of the crucial DWX staff) is having twins so that alone will definitely curb your "extracurricular activities."

They must all be virgos because they either ship it out to us perfect or not at all.

Re: So, where is the patch ?
 

Definetely yes, yestserday I also spotted a bug colony sorrounding the game box so I took the sad decision :-?

LOL, have you applied liberal amounts of insecticide?

DW has no *box* BTW - perhaps you made one yourself for your copy, as sign of love and affection? :|\

O.

ROFL re virgos. I don't think too many gamers here know anything about astrology but I got your hint (horoscope babble is my favorite girl-talk :oops: )

As for having twins... when my wife was expecting (I have two kids), I stayed home and played games like never before :ping: :rock:

So it's not much of an excuse. :rotfl:

I think Xabba had twins some time ago - is it him you had on your mind in your post? Or are twins endemic to DWX crowd? If that's the case watch out if you think about joining the crew. :arrgh!:

O.

Thanks.

I simply want the game to be better, whether it is under the name DWX matters not to me. I don't think I have a solid grasp on what they are doing, but my feeling is, if you have *anything* that might inspire the DW community to play the game more or to be more positive in working on improving the game to get new players on board, it's a good idea to put it out or give info on it at least.

The silence from SCS and the DWX team is the least productive way of going about things, if your goal is to keep the game alive and growing while the work is being done, IMHO.

Being completely honest, all of the changes that I personally have made in the mod (granted they are gameplay changes rather than bug fixes for the most part, but still, for me, constitude a major increase in game-playability, perhaps simply because of taste) would probably take a DWX person or SCS programmer all of an hour to make (being clear, all of Amizaur's changes were very difficult and took a great deal of work and knowledge on his part), so I really don't know why the "official" stock version of the game is still stuck at 1.01 with no "official" word from anyone.

Boomer my friend I note we joined Subsim board on the same day, almost 4 years ago!

I feel some special closeness to you now... now why this board does not have kissy-kiss smiley face like some others have? LOL :rotfl:
