The short news, August 31, 2012

We're working on a release candidate patch for CloD. We plan to complete this work in the near future. I can't specify the exact date, please wait. If the public testing won't show serious bugs, this patch will be available via Steam officially.

Stay tuned

Are you saying there will be another beta besides v.1.08.18956 before an offical Steam release? Thanks for your work with the community, I know it is not always easy.

It will be not usual beta, it will be RC. RC is a beta version with potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge.

Thanks for the update B6!

Just in-case anyone doesn't know, RC = Release Candidate

A release candidate (RC) is a beta version with potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bug.

Wow..good news. I can see a big shining patch coming !

[David198502]

great!
i hope by then:
-low res skins
-serious stutters
-serious frame rate drops
-launcher crashes
-particle effects
-sound bug
-trees
-clouds
-bomberformations
-ai behaviour
-FMs
-ground handling
-conf.ini, conf.user exploit
-netcode
-full screen

....will be fixed

making official what we have now, would be a big step backwards to the last official steam version.

This is a golden opportunity for 1C to get CloD on track and get back a lot of the trust and respect they have lost as a credible developer. It will start with them actually releasing the patch in September. After that, I hope we can see a significant difference. In many of the previous patches the updates have been a bit underwhelming. I think most people would say that with all the missing features and graphics problems, CLoD has felt like a half-finished game. I hoped the RC is the polished product we paid for.
