Beta Patch Notes e1.4.2

[MostBlunted]

Finally 3 auto save slots! That´s all I was asking for like forever! Who cares about broken AI when you can just have 3 auto save slots?

And boy, save games take 80% less space, my 1 TB SSD will be thankful for this too, who cares about all the bugs that doesn´t get fixed?

I´m happy that TW has their focus on point! They really know what the community wants, good that they have this awesome communication on the Steam and their official forum like they claim in the EA description of the game.

Maybe we get new loading screens with the next patch too? Those are some game changing improvements.

Isn't the three autosaves and decreased save size old news, thought it was introduced with 1.4.2.
How come taleworlds aren't pushing 1.4.2 to the main branch while the new patch is worked on? It's been stable for a couple of weeks now...

 

[MostBlunted]

Because they are reworking the code of the game again I guess. We won´t get any beta update in the next 2 weeks, mark my words.

The best thing about the small save files is the super fast uploading of all my broken *** saves for the Devs!
Thanks TW!

You know the sarcasm rainbow where on the other end you find some creatures out of books? ?

 

[ReThorn]

Oh ok. I thought it was about your frustration because the lack of communication and updates, but now i see you are just worried about other customers being cheated by advertisement.
A very emphatic guy!

Data compression is pretty hard, and the 3 autosaves instead of one makes it easier for people to savescum as there is a save before, during, and shortly after each battle. So it's a great convenience feature to a lot of people.

Really, bro? Is that „great convenience” in your opinion?

I was expecting some improvements or fixes in game enigne, rpg elements, balancing item stats, economy, trade, diplomacy, campaign AI, Battle AI, combat parameters, multiplayer, ragdolls, animatons, maybe some dialogues or modding tools. A lot of stuff need to be fixed here but autosave slot, seriously?

I just even can”t imagine how anyone from their „small Indian comp” could even think „Hey, our game is broken so at this stage they need one more autosave slot, lets proudly annouce that”.

Nice work, gentlemen.

They've kinda said that the next 1.4.3 won't have any great changes since they're working on the code. So, expect the "Changed Aserai Horse's speed from 55 to 56"-like changes.

Yeah, I know but it doesnt mean that we should now clap our hands and celebrate those hillarious „achivements”. Atm I’m not sure if its more funny or just pathetic but as I can see on Steam, amount of active players is still decreasing daily.

Propably they need to announce more autosave slots

No surprise there, since the game, having all that potential (creating a criminal syndicates, plotting against lords, rebellions, children) has nothing to offer atm but a handful of quests (some of them are broken) and endless and meaningless battles. Everything mentioned above does not exist or broken. There are very few battle scenes and town/village scenes, so the game become visually exhausting too. Stupid AI both in battles and on campaign map, makes things even worse. Mods is the only thing that keeps the remaining part of players (me included). But since the announced changes in code modders are waiting for the update, since if they make any good mod for 1.4.2, their efforts will turn into nothing with the new code.

Thats not true, there has been a slight increase in active players for some reason.

Usually I'd say today comes a new update, since they used to came wednesday pretty frequently, but at this point I lost my hope and its probably going to by friday or next week..

Naive...

It's been almost 3 weeks since the last beta update. I'm not sure if that means one is due or if they're going to go monthly now.

TW said they are doing some coding stuff, to build a stable basis for future updates, so I hope its going to be a one time thing.

Let me dream!

Oh, thats a wise choice (building a stable base), If only that decision could have been made and executed 5-8 years ago.

I don't think they knew about these problems (which caused them to rewrite stuff now) back then.

 

[Novubey]

They just release a hot fix to main branch. Means no 1.4.3 patch this week.
