Thanks for the update Blacksix, hoping the team has some luck with the particle effects problem currently holding the patch up.

Check the windows and wall aliagnments in the screen shots.

It's another flightsim first - they've modelled the Russian earthquake of September 1941. The shots show the before and after...

Hi Black Six thanks for the update.
Sounds like the particle problem is a real pain in the butt ,thanks to those working the weekend to sort this.
I remember from earlier updates a patch for the GFX would be released for testing first ,this was to be done to avoid burying any GFX issues with other work.
Once confirmed ok another would be released with all the work that has been done already by other team members on FM,MB etc etc.
You have said before there are some team members whose areas of speciality are not related to the bugs etc in CLod so are working on BoM.
I thought to mention this as newer members to the forum might not be aware of these posts.
The detail in the screenies for BoM look quite impressive,perhaps they could put some hedgerows in CLoD

The point is to let us know what is coming next. I really like that and many else do. So just because you don´t care I have to be deprived of that?

And how many times do they have to explain that the development of the sequel does not delays the patch? Its been stated so many times in so many ways and still some dont understandit.

And they also want CLOD working perfect.

They're letting us know what's coming for something that hasn't been officially announced. Announce it, set up a separate forum or thread for it and you'll be happy. Sure BoM will be amazing if it works.

If the patch is purely graphical then development of BoM has delayed fixing CLOD. Smooth gameplay is only part of the picture. And for those that say "wait for BoM it'll fix everything" they're missing the point. I paid for a working game and I get lovely pictures about something that is a long way off. Woopee.

Yes this is a stuck record but it's also a complaint. I trust the developers to get it right, but by god they haven't a clue about PR.

Those pics look like they're from men of war. Thanks for update.

What's the difference from when we were being shown COD (storm of war) screenshots through it's 6 years development and being shown screens of the 'sequel'?

nobody appart from the most avid conspiracists have used the phrase "wait for BoM it'll fix everything", while the rest of us have grasped the basic fact that COD is being patched.

Partially patched. Please get it right.

Partially patched? what do you mean? as far as I understand the game is getting a series of patches to bring us the 'fixed' version we all hoped for, what is partial about that?
