Official Time for Patch Release

[Flycantbird]

Just wondering, is there an official 'zero hour' when the patch will be made available ?

Wondering if I should burn some time off from work, that's all :thumb:

[Dygear]

I think it's around 48 + 12 ... 60 hours from now :). I am NOT staying up that long.

[PITzamann]

:D :D :D :D :D Thx 2 the Devs :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[Mc21]

Thursday. Meh. I'll be at school :(.. Have to wait till friday night for a big go :)

[MAGGOT]

I think it's around 48 + 12 ... 60 hours from now :). I am NOT staying up that long.

Any just WHY not? :pillepall:D

Yea.. I think I'm going to have to NOT download the patch until at least wednesday night, or else I will never finish my final projects, and thus, fail my year.

Curse you Scavier!:x hehehe

On the other hand though, it comes out 3 days before my birthday. What a nice present! :D

I think at least a 2 hour nap is excusable every 24 hours.

Historically release has been 2pm Friday afternoon british time, I wold imagine it will be the same.

Dan,

[SchneeFee]

friday starts 40hours and 25 Minutes, right?

[Bob Smith]

Still says 3 days. I'm not going to get to give it a go properly until Saturday anyway, so no big deal for me.

[BrandonAGr]

I have seen most of the updates around 10-11am US Central time, so I guess it will go up around that time on friday?

Dan,So when i get in the patch will have been out for 2 hours 10 mins? a well, so much for me setting wr that last for a few mins!

All I remember is, when S2 alpha came out I was just leaving work to go home (2pm) on a friday, and I downloaded it when I got home.

I would imagine it will be around the same sort of time :nod:

is there a secret on this page you'd like to show us? :scratchch

[Frankmd]

Maybe he means that the counter is still at 3 days.

Guess that will change this afternoon...

[Madman_CZ]

:ices_rofl your post made me chuckle there incognito... the 3days i believe is an image thats is why it hasnt changed, it has to be done manually by the devs.

the question was, why he posted that link. This thread is about the time of the release date, of course we all know it wil be out in 3 (or now 2 days).

Hi there, developers of the best game ever!:schwitz:

I am going nuts, crazy, mad...

How many more strange count-down-thingis are YOU going to
have on for a PATCH????

First the Day by Day thing on the lfs.net site, then that 3-Day
picture that doesn´t obviously really count down as well.
(IT SAYS 3 DAYS FOR 36 HOURS NOW!!:pillepall :pillepall :schwitz: )

Just announce a day and a time men! :really:

Yours, Z30 Dandy Dust:nod:

Do what I did this time. Be honest; I told her that if she comes over she's going to be ignored ;)

Edit: yes that was a typo. I was chatting to my colleagues about my boss at the time :p

AHHH MAN , dont tell me thats the only change today , I was hoping for some more info etc

[afastest]

Well, me too.

"While we finish the patch, we will post some info and a picture or two about a new feature or update, each day."

Even if there are not surprises left, the new patch must be a breathtaking improvement of the sim :)

[colcob]

Yeah, well boo hiss. I've been in shitty meetings all day, and have consoled myself with the fact that when they finished at 4 oclock, I would have an exciting update to look forward to.
The number 2 is sadly not really doing it for me.

[danowat]

The number 2 is sadly not really doing it for me.

LMAO, I would certainly hope not mate :D

Dan,

[scottyegg]

norrr me :(:(:( was hoping for a big Update sign telling me aload of stuff :pillepall

[DEVIL 007]

:iagree: ...totally.

[joen]

I didn't expect there would be anymore updates about features but i was hoping there would be an ingame video or something. I want to see the BF1 in action! :D

But on the other hand, it probably makes the first experience even more exciting that it already will be :)

[the_angry_angel]

Anyone else see the problem:shy: lol
Im off from uni go back on mon. Got work so doing in as fast as i can to have a free week end so ill download it as soon as its out :thumb:
Oh ****ity. Long day :( That was meant to be her before anyone doubts my obvious 100% love and adoration for boobs and other female things :o

EDITED:Posting a info text or picture wouldnt make the 1st experience worse.

[ajp71]

Yes it would

[scottyegg]

:iagree:

[noemfie]

Well main countdown page also says 2 days now , guess that is it for today :)

[colcob]

Yeah, its a bit of bummer really. If you werent expecting anything, it wouldnt be a problem at all, but it seems a bit wierd to say there will be updates every day, give updates every day, then suddenly stop without explanation.

Still, this last week has given us a little insight into Victor's sadistic tendencies :)

And now will come Don saying you got update today so why you moan...it changed to 2 days.

I will not comment the sadistic part:D

[Bob Smith]

It's probably the Dutch sense of humour. Nobody understands it - not even the Dutch, they just pretend to, and laugh while drinking copious amounts of Grolsch.

[Screeny]

:really: I'm starting to believe the 2 was it for today...
if it was, see you at world cup 2006, dear dutch humour :D

[Sp3cTr3]

Dan,

lol that made me laugh :thumb:

[ORION]

Well I hope they will release the dedicated at least 24 hours before the patch.

[franky500]

Well I hope they will release the dedicated at least 24 hours before the patch.

so do i.... So.. DO.. I!!!

[SamH]

Between downloading the patch and actually USING it, I made the mistake of promising to drive 50 miles out into the wilderness with a CD of the patch, to one of our 56K team members! Argh!!:x

If it will be no more than 20-30MB patch, it will actually no faster than to DL in on 56k.

[danowat]

lol that made me laugh :thumb:

Ahhh.....so there is at least one person with my strange train of though :D

Dan,

[Flycantbird]

I wonder if a fresh install before the patch accomplishes anything ?

( I"m bored waiting for the patch, and read someone comment they were doing this ).

I imagine old setups will still load ? Might have to tweak them a bit ?

tick..................................tock........ .........................................
tick.............................................. ...tock...........................


Well that killed 2 minutes.

[[RCG]Boosted]

when they release the patch at the same time when they updated the countdown, then it will be 4 pm (my time). :)
