@Dejan @Duh_TaleWorlds Does it seem likely that we will get the 1.9 this week or is even a major patch is in the works to be out before release?
That´s for sure, otherwise they would have added features wie "claimants" before the "final" release and fixed most major broken things. There was a point when TW said: "**** it, we are done and release this mess and try to fix all issues afterwards."My impression is that they're kinda winging it and the game might not even be "ready" for the release day next month.

i assume no patch before October 25th full release because I just found this looks like they are already testing release patch https://steamdb.info/app/261550/depots/

It seems like we won't have a 1.9 update between now and the release. I wonder if we will get the release patch earlier than 25th October as early beta testers though. I reeeeeally hope that we will be testing for the sake of both TW, console players and people who will be buying BL for the release considering the never-ending list of bugs added by new patches, but you never know.i assume no patch before October 25th full release because I just found this looks like they are already testing release patch https://steamdb.info/app/261550/depots/

That's probably the truthI don't know if they are planning to have 1.9 and make the release essentially 1.9.1 by fixing the bugs and maybe adding some minor new feature, or if they genuinely want to have 2 patches. It's definitely not impossible since until a year or so ago, we used to get a new patch every 2-3 weeks. It's not like they don't have a patch to release in the first place, they had a patch made specifically for Gamescom. My impression is that they're kinda winging it and the game might not even be "ready" for the release day next month.
Wow, I didn't even think there was physical release, but there is! It would make sense to not want a PC version or beta coming out now, since we would give it negative attention if it had any bugs. Plus it would dispel all the "what if' some people have over (not)possible features in the full release. Of course this is a bit undermined by there already being serious bugs in 1.8 stable that need to be modded out to finish a campaign in a tolerable way. But again, they could depend on the average consumer not knowing that or assuming "everything will be fixed" on 10/25.But again they have to be printing discs by now, so some form of 1.9 should be ready. But I suspect a lot of work is being done for a Day 1 Patch 1.9.1, that's almost a given with any developer these days.

Consoles usually have a real disc in their boxes. And then you need to download a 70GB day one patch for almost every game.Is printing discs even much of a thing anylonger? Last 3 games I bought boxed, had just a steam key in them.
