4.09 (posible) release date?

[WhiteSnake]

Wen is the final version of patch 4.09 comming out? or is there any news/update about a posible release date?

A lot of us have been waiting for so long on the final version of this patch because for most of us using the beta is not an option.

How long are we waiting now on this patch? it takes most developers less time to create a new game!

I'm just really disapointed that theres not any good info to be found on the 4.09 patch.

Hearing plenty of stories that 4.09 never is going to be released because the guys that where working on the patch found other stuff to fill there time with.

Oleg or Luthier already answered this to some degree, it will NOT be released until they reach a certain stage with SOW:BoB and can spare the manpower to put it together - when they will reach this stage only they know.

Just do a search on Oleg and Luthiers post when you visit the forums (What I do), I tend to notice that their post count hasn't changed so I don't bother reading much else here until I see the post count go up as everyone else's point of view is just speculation IMO.

Oh, sorry then.

I was told that Oleg and his team where working on SoW indeed but that an other small group was working on the patches...

If there working so hard on SoW they shouldnt have started with patch 4.09 imo untill they really had the time to do it.

SoW was supost to be out in 2006, if it still hasnt reached that stage in its development Oleg was talking about than who know wen we ever see this patch... maybe After SoW is released?

There is no decent info on 4.09, only rumors and a lot of topics like this one one this forum.

People come here for straigh awnsers because this is supost to be where the developers and Oleg come and read and post there comments, but its always the general users who comment on questions like this.

Im not the only person who feels like this.

Contents of 4.09 patch are developed by 3rd party. They are not part of MG. People who are responcible for including those contents into IL-2 are busy with SOW and until they achieve their goals, they will not complete the final 4.09.

As far as SOW goes, people "in the know" never gave any ETA of SOW... they suggested some dates as possibilities, but nothing concrete. Unfortunately "some" publisher and several retailers had their own look at how development of SOW is going and produced their own dates, which created nothing but confusion.

This is well known info often stated by Ivan, Feuerfalke, and a few others. BUT I can understand if your not a frequent vistor and don't know the history it would be difficult to ignore posts from a few disgruntal members unwilling to accept reality.

Consider yourselves luck in South Africa, we have to convince our state run entity to update servers, I think we were play 4.04 for almost a year before we got them to update to 4.08.
So chances are when 4.09 gets updated on our servers SOW will have been out for at least two years lol.
And ditto to the rest of the post, no 4.09 until SOW BoB mile stone is reached (closed beta) will be my guess. And no I like everyone else here do not actually know anything but we all have our own opinions
