Sarcasm ?

No - enquiry.

I was pro GRAW 2 when it came out and still am to a degree.
I am mainly playing ARMA now due to being cheesed off with waiting for false promises from UBI.

No sorry oliver.

As far as I know it is still in Q A Testing.

Im not totaly sure but I think they come back to work on 14th or so, I suppose we may get some info after that date.

Colin,

Would you kindly walk over and give the Q&A person a good shake. I think they must have fallen asleep... or something.

If you bring coffee and a donut it will probably go a lot better. I hear their suckers for that stuff.

I would like to help on this believe me but I think these guys get back on the 16th, not totaly sure though.

A problem was found during this Q and A which needs sorting, I am glad about this in a way but it came over the hols so its taken more time to sort I guess.

To be honest we have had no official word on the patch my info comes via back doors so to speak.

I will say this though Ubi not haveing confirmed a patch dont need to expalin why its not ready and what the problem is.

Im not sure if this is a good way of doing pr or not.
Crysis Dev team had a similar issue but told the community at large about it. what was in it, and then expalined why the delay.

My own thought is Cry have done a better job on the PR side than Ubi but thats just me.

I would like to see things done better but time will tell.

UBI could learn a thing or two from your example Colin.

I still don't have a patch and I still don't know when we'll get it. But because you put an effot towards meeting a legitimate question with a legitimate answer.... I'm totally OK with that.

As always, thanks for your efforts.

Any word on a fix for draw distance? Yes, I know this could break balance for vs. multiplayer, but it needs to be done all the same...

One of the modders at gr.net did some work on the Draw issue.

It wont improve ie no fix.
Try the mods section at gr.net

Have you heard any info on whether or not they will add coop or as some refer to it as ogr to the map editor? Those of us who injoy coop play need new maps the three the game came with have become stale and the ones people have ported over and pieced together are ****. This has been a low blow to the ogr players that came over from the first GRAW and most of them have stopped playing the game. If the editor gets fixed and maps start coming out coop players will come back to the game to help keep GRAW 2 alive.

First off, thanks Colin. I'm holding out hope that the Grin people (or whoever is bothering with the game anymore) will care to do something about it, but probably not. Some of the bugs in this game...rudimentary stuff, it makes me wonder how good a handle they have on their code. Uh, anyway, I'm looking forward to 1.05 all the same

RipsTide: Yup, I definitely agree. Playing coop takes some of the frustration out of multiplayer, and there's still a high level of tension because the bots are actually really respectable (something this game does noticably better than America's Army by far, I think; thankfully it's the same type of game). It's what I like to do, but even though the woodland map is cool, having the first map of the whole game in day and night modes gets pretty old in a hurry.

I'd have tried out some of the player-made maps, but there's no autodownloader and I figured it'd be more trouble than it's worth.

I was only able to play co-op three days (if that, and not around the clock, just short sessions) before it got stale. Another thing hurting co-op (IMO) is that there isn't really any way or reason to cooperate with people. Just go grab a sniper rifle, and if you see a tank get on the side of a building and run into said tank to stop it and plant your C4.

I dont think you will have to waite too long now. Fingers crossed.

Lets hope your right Colin

By the way, is that just a feeling or do you know something we don't ?

I thought I saw a Test02 Dallas 1.05 server last night...but it was late, and I was tired

There's a London test server online right now, but those have been online for a while haven't they ?

Any ideas as to how big the patch is, Colin? (in Mbs, not inches).

Just so we can wildly speculate on the possible content i.e. more maps or not.

^
Did someone suggest wild speculation...Ok, another Ageia Exclusive level (for those who weren't convinced with the first), an entire rewrite of the code en-abling the Massive ingame advertising (this is what has held back the release of the patch-really tricky stuff here), and a new game mode; OAW...which does not contain anything new in terms of gameplay but does return the player to the same sepia levels of the first :Advanced Warfighter.
