Beta Patch 1.157 - Patch pre-release! Steam release on Wednesday.

[Lord Rich]

-Reduced cap on turn speed in multiplayer.

what does this mean?

In one of the napoleonic wars patches a while back they put a much harder limit on how fast you can turn during an attack, either when chambered or releasing, this got copied over into warband too. The difference is quite staggering for shield fighting and duelling with the limit not in place, it feels much more free and less sluggish.

Since the elusive Lust has been spotted, I'll ask my question again.

Why are you guys still lowering ranged unit athletics? It seems that public outcry has convinced you that lowering it by 2 or 3 points is a bad idea. So why lower it by 1 point? It's still going to have a noticeable negative impact on archer melee and couch/missile dodging. Is this what you're trying to accomplish? Are you considering how the changes will affect public play? And what merit does a one point athletics decrease actually bear?

If the patches come out tonight I shall eat my sock.

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Haven't you already run out of socks?

 

[Thvle]

[gokiller]

[BoomstickS3000]

That last line in the changelog is very positive at least..

 

[Thvle]

The patch!!

hmm?

I want  the patch! 

 

[RalliX]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Thvle]

Today nothing....

 

[kpetschulat]

If the patches come out tonight I shall eat my sock.

At first, I read this like so...

If the patch comes out tonight I'll eat my cock.

Then, I realized he said sock. And, I was like... "Phew." Woopsie, silly me.

 

[Michadr]

Just wondering how much work it will be 'porting' a mod over to 1.157 from 1.154?

 

[Mad Vader]

Typically one hour for a moderately complicated mod if you know how to WinMerge.

Thanks MV.
I know how to use WinMerge, so i may be worrying to much...

 

[The Bowman]

Calm down, guys. It's gonna be today.

Today we're releasing the links on the forums for both the Warband and the NW patch. Uploading right now.

The official release will be on monday morning to ensure that if anything goes wrong, we'll be able to deal with it quickly. It also has the benefit of avoiding interference with tournaments or weekend events like the Vikingr one. Also this weekend will give people a chance to port admin mods etc. since we're releasing the MS and everyone should be prepared for when the patch kicks in. We'll try to give an exact time for that before monday, in order to minimise downtime.

Here's the MS and the dedicated files.

Ohh yeah!! Waiting for the patch on Steam: =)

 

[Angus_Burger]

Absolutely loving the new beta patch. Vaegir archers don't spawn with free scimitars, cant start the round with heavy armour AND are slightly slower?! Its almost like they might actually need to be supported by the other two classes now!

I stopped playing a while ago, but this just might bring me back into warband. Time to warm up!

 

[Fritigern]

I heard there were some animation smoothing or something? Any noticeable effect?

 

[captain lust]

OK all the files are ready for you to use now. Remember that this patch is not server compatible with the last one so you might want to wait until people have updated their servers. The patch will overwrite any singleplayer tweaks of admin mods you use.

The patch will be finally released on monday morning, where it will be posted on the website and pushed out to Steam.
