4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[martinistripes]

@TD Any chance you can release 4.12 complete as a one stop download. I know community members have bundled them together previously but it would be great to have the whole lot compiled officially.

Obviously, I realise an incremental patch is still needed for modders that want to switch back and forth between various versions.

I can see the obvious advantage of a one stop download for those installing the game for the first time, but for anyone already running v4.11 a smaller patch is by far preferable. Some of us, maybe many, still have quite slow internet download speeds so big patches which duplicate stuff we already have is not our favorite option.

Yes but wouldn't 4.12 be new.. totally new anyway? I can't see them adding stuff from 4.11.xx into 4.12.. what would be the point?

Hey Barry:

I don't think they (Mods) are going to do it that way anymore, I think they are just going to take what they can and incorporate it into their current package i.e. DBW 1.8, UP3/4, and HSFX is a different story, they are not as wide reaching where getting every mod you can jammed into an install. So I think what I'm hearing is it will be DBW 1.8v.xxx drawn from 4.11.1 content. In other words they will adapt the patch to their package instead of vice versa.

Do you guys have an eye on your eMail inbox?

What I meant by that was that 4.12 will be released most likely as 4.12 with totally new content. Meaning nothing from 4.11.. I was under the impression that the poster a feew posts above the post you quoted was asking if 4.12 could be issued as a sort of combined patch with everything prior to it, which I don't think will happen..

And re-installing. I probably installed this game at least 7 or 8 times. It's the worst game I own when it comes to patching. I have 8 files including 4.09 skin pack in my 1946 updates folder. I'd much rather delete them all and have just one.

Torrent overnight. Anyway like I said, it's not a problem if we have both Incremental and Complete. Everyone wins.

Big thanks you for a new video ... aauuuhhh!

Awesome! I'm running out of adjectives to describe this stuff! I never thought we would see a true torpedo-bomber like the B5N flyable - bravo! I love the mirror on the compass - that's a great feature.

The new features like reticule dimmer and bombsight FOV are super as well.

Can't wait!

Beautiful, just beautiful.
