olaf Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 When is the next patch for the PC version due? TIA olaf
SteveThaiBinh Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 There's been no information for a long while, so this is just speculation, but... For a bug fix patch, probably never, I'm afraid. There's no indication that one is being worked on. For a better music/movie patch, well, it's been with LucasArts for well over a month now and they show no signs of releasing it. It might come out sometime over the summer, but sadly, it's looking increasingly like this will never be released either. Sorry I don't have better news for you.

dufflover Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 There's a bit of discussion going on among gamers about problems with distributing things like movies and music, but I'm not too sure what is happening within LucasArts. I'm curious to know what progress has been made on the patch? Like are they waiting to fix heaps and heaps of bugs before putting out a massive patch (or use the excuse they're waiting for more bugs so they never release anything).

Master Dahvernas Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks for your efforts, Crazy Joe! Not to be a Gloomy Guss... But if you don't hear anything, can we safely assume this game is toast and chalk it up to being a rushed game with no fixes in sight? I'd hate to have to not recommend this game to people, but in its current state I just cannot in good conscience recommend anyone buy it. And it isn't the price (it is coming down now that it has been out a few months). It is the principle of the thing. This game is not finished in every sense of the word and, imo, has serious story issues as well. Even with the subjective story issues aside, purely as a technical product, it falls below even passing standards in a lot of respects. Anyway, thank you for your efforts, but I am preparing for the worst. The worst being you don't get any kind of replay at all as that means they are trying to shove this under the rug. Well, I will shove NWN2 under the rug and not buy it if it turns out like TSL...
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 *points to the above post* Yeah, it'll be fairly safe to assume that. Nobody's saying anything about it. I'm assuming it's one of those "We're ignoring you because we have another game to work on and are not interested in patching a released game." But, like I said; I'll keep you posted. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Well, gee, Mister Joe they said MONTHS AGO that they were going to release the movies and music patch. When they said it they said it was going to be release in a few days. Like I said that was MONTHS AGO. I don't want to be overly critical of Obsidian for I think they are a bunch of great guys but don't say something is going to be released when it isn't going to be. You lose credibility like that. Right now I am thinking that I should save my money and skip NWN 2 and I don't want to think that way. Harvey

Right now I am thinking that I should save my money and skip NWN 2 and I don't want to think that way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. Obsidian is making itself appear to have integrity issues. But the people that really have integrity issues are those that work at LA. I'm pretty much done with KOTOR 2, and I most likely won't play it until this patch, or the restoration project, is released. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- "Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns." --Black Hawk Down-- MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=44500195
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 I've teamed up with a member of Obsidian and we'll get something. Muah ha ha ha ha. Also, Mr(?) Rabbit; that patch that was claimed to be released is in the hands of Lucas Arts... and thus far they aren't revealing anything . . . pro or con. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Irrelevant. The Sith Lords is Obsidian's AND LucasArts' game. If one drops the ball, both are to blame. Harvey
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 How so, if LA isn't communicating with OE when OE is trying to communicate with LA? Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
metadigital Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 It's an unfortunate circumstance, and you do have a point about mitigation, but to the dumb end users out here in gameplayerland, it doesn't matter where the ball is, except not back here in our court. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
BicycleOfDeath Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 And we're trying to get some info so we can give the users the gameplan about that ball. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 In the words of Yoda, "Do or do not. There is no try." How so you ask? A game, and its support, is the responsibility of both the publisher and its developer. No more and no less. Harvey
AnakinSolo2002 Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Just because you keep asking a "magic 8-ball" a question doesn't mean that you'll ever get the answer you want; and even if you do, it doesn't mean it'll ever come true... random bs: LA (in reference to 'next' patch): You guys can say and do whatever you want, if there will be a patch, you'll know when we release it. We have all the power, none of it is yours, there's nothing you could do to change that. We have no reason to fear you, the general public. GP (us, quoting Yoda, in one scary ass voice): You will be, You will be...
