Hello Everyone,

patch 1.05 was scheduled for Tuesday 1st, but has been delayed a bit by a last minute fix. ETA is now by the end of this week.


@abuion:

you can check you current game´s version number as follows:

PC
Right click on the Settlers7R.exe in yourSettlers7directory\Data\Base\_Dbg\Bin\Release\ and select the version tab.


MAC
Open the Finder and go to the Settlers7 application. Choose the application an press the "space" key.

@BB_EarnyC

On my system it's not exactly like that (Windows 7). Inside the Settlers7\Data\Base\_Dbg\Bin\Release\ there is no Settlers7.exe but a Settlers7R.exe and then you have to right click> selecet properties> go to the details tab and read the Product version field.

You are right abuion, it is the Settlers7R.exe.

Sorry, forgott a letter there

Fixed it, thnx for the info.



Best

- Add these lines to your “Options.ini” file (C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\My Documents\Settlers7\Options.ini)

DefaultPort = 9205

The default value is 9103 - anything else should do

• Enjoy the sixth and eighth campaign map optimized for skirmish and multiplayer:

Wolffelden

The Land of Wolffelden is surrounded by huge river streams and mighty waterfall cascades. Two rulers with different starting conditions want to gain control over this rich and fertile land. On top of a high plateau you can find an old town, overlooking the wide river streams and offering a Victory Point. When you dare to enter the enchanted forest, the mighty werewolf residing inside, may be useful on your path to victory. At the riverbank you can find the only port. Choose your tactic wisely, depending on your starting position, which may favor a certain strategy.

Sandbeken

Three rivals compete in the domain of Sandbeken. It may be beneficial to choose your strategy wisely depending on your starting position. Thick vapor is ascending from the central misty swamp and spreading out to the surrounding lush meadows. It may be key to your success, when you accomplish to cross the misty swamp or gain access to the connecting sector inside the swamp area. There are two further town sectors, which have tactical value and offer victory points. There is a river port in the north and a marketplace in the southern hills, which offer rich trades.

I would like to thank Blue Byte for a great patch (I speak for myself). I hope there will be feature patches to further improve the game.
