The ongoing saga of Patch 1.18
Everyday that Egosoft procrastinates on releasing the 1.18 patch, is one more day they look worse than they already do. EVERYONE is waiting to play a game, that will not play and the LEAST they could do is give us some sort of an update, everyday they don't release it.
It's just leaving us without any information, as opposed to having an assistant take 2 minutes to inform us, just makes things that much worse.

The first couple patches were very small and out fast, and made some people upset because to help one person they messed up someone else. They said a few days ago that they were getting some new machines in to test on so thats probably whats going on. When they get a good patch ready lets hope it fixes some things we really need done, like the trading bug for many people and the graphics bug that seems to hurt us a lot. It might be a decent sized patch this next time not a few kbs.

the only thing i'd like to see is maybe an eta on it, that way i don't have to check daily and can shove my anticipation for it to next week if they say maybe next week.
If its not ready by next week at least i know that I'll get a new update on it.
Do they have a mailing list? That way I don't even have to check, i like being lazy.

They really should spend 2 minutes of their time to put out a small update on the major areas being worked on with the patch, as well as a rough estimate on when it's ready. That's just good PR.
That said, I expect it'll be here by midday tomorrow, friday at the latest.

Might've been better to post that in the sticky but on the other hand, what CBJ says there seems like common sense to me.
My two cents: bugs can be hard to trace and software deadlines are often fluid to say the least. If they tell us "the patch will be done tomorrow" and it turns out that it isn't, people will freak out. If they play it safe and tell us "2 weeks from now" other people will freak out.

The magic Patch fairy brings them along actually. They just appear on Bernd's doorstep and he puts them out. They were pretty active at first, but haven't visited for a few days as Ego haven't paid their gas bill.Shootist wrote:English isn't your first language? No one procrastinates.

Pretty sure there not procrastinating more likely just trying to deliver a working fix this time.
Procrastination implies they are maybe eating donuts and saying "yeah yeah ill do it later." that's definitely not the case.

I'm pretty sure Egosoft doesnt sit on their asses and rolling thumbs.
They are most likely preparing a larger patch that cover more in-game issues or even hammering out more complex issues like performance.
Its more likely that you are impatient, then they are inactive.
Just because someone doesnt pay the gas bill in time, doesnt mean he/she dont have any money.

releasing patched every single day lead to more trouble than what it was worth. they then decided that that was not the right way to do it. (my guess)
i dont mind waiting another week. i knew from the beginning it would take time. you should work on your patience.
FFS, posters like you IRGhost about this game really PISS me off!IRGhost wrote:Relax man, when 1.18 is ready they'll release it.
Ranting like this won't help.
I'll tell you why...
I paid £40 for a product that does not function anywhere near its advertised functionality!
Now, IRGhost, imagine that you go to a restaurant, that came recommended, because maybe you went there about 5 years ago and it was great.
You went to the same restaurant on launch day of X-Rebirth, checked out the menu. The menu advertised wonderful, tasty food and you thought to yourself "The food here looks great! I am really going to enjoy this!"
So the waiter brings your much anticipated meal and you start to eat.
The meal is awful, way below expectations and the waiter is NOT interested in your complaint!
How would you feel about that, eh?
So, my point, is twofold:
1. Egosoft have released a defective product and they better put it right asap. Do NOT dare to accuse people who have bought this product as "ranting" about its appalling state upon release. AND...
2. The OP was correct!

Well you are kinda ranting, and he was right that it has brought patch 1.18 exactly 0% closer to fruition.clivos wrote:FFS, posters like you IRGhost about this game really PISS me off!IRGhost wrote:Relax man, when 1.18 is ready they'll release it.

Actually, the point of IRGGhost's that you're quoting is dead on accurate--all the ranting, complaining, shouting of dissatisfaction from the roof tops is counter productive if what you really want is to see XR get patched up. The devs are working on it, and they'll release it when it's good and ready.clivos wrote:FFS, posters like you IRGhost about this game really PISS me off!IRGhost wrote:Relax man, when 1.18 is ready they'll release it.

Got a bad meal at a restaurant? Still doesn't give you an excuse to behave like animals.
Ayn Rand was correct.
