New Patch?--Shiny?
 

Just thought I'd ask the ETA on a new patch. Have you folks decided on ANY changes yet?

Sophistry told me he was testing the new patch now.
It's supposed to have all the things needed for a GameSpy Arcade support, a progress indicator for resyncs (including a cancel button yoohoo!).
probably other things as well....

Although the cancel button actually quits the current game...

Any other changes to the game in this patch?
Top Secret?
You're killing me over here....hehehe...

patience, it will come http://www.veforums.com/wink.gif

I can't take the waiting!

hmmm

Does this version work with Win2k, or does it still freeze at the loading screen like Patch 2 does? I have to use Patch 1, which means more often than not I can't find an internet game.

The patch2 Win2K problem has a simple solution. search this or the troubleshooting forum.

i think MissM should give me the patch before anyone else! we're cool like that http://www.veforums.com/biggrin.gif

choopy,
can't find anything other than 'make sure you have the latest drivers' - which I have. What am I missing, care to spend 20 secs of your time to post a link?

just look how nice I am:

Oh, you can go around it by control+alt+delling Sacrifice when the splash screen comes up. Then the Splash screen dissapears and u will get the 'close program screen' then hit cancel and it will work. It's stupid that you have to do it this way though =[

I hear very little mentioned about the ridiculous hang time you get between screens in multiplayer. If you try to join a game, for example, that is full (3/4 but someone joins before you do) then it takes sometimes almost a minute or more to get back to the main chat/game room. Same goes if you once a game has ended...first couple times it went on so long, I thought my computer had crashed.

Also, it seems that this game has an insane disconnection ratio while in games. People are always getting dropped. Yes, I am on a 56k, but I have never seen a problem like this in the other multiplayer games I play. And I have also heard of others with DSL and cable modems complaining about the same thing.
