Patch v1.22 Final and v1.23 Beta

[kgambit]

Here are the scheduled release dates for the next round of patches:

v.122 FINAL - January 22nd

v.123 BETA - January 26th (unofficial)

......................... ......................... ......................... ............

Latest update from Rob McGinnis:

We are pushing to have 1.22 released on 1/22. There are a couple translations Atari would like changed. If those must go in, it will be another two weeks before 1.22 comes out. If not, then it is likely that 1.22 will be out by the end of the day.

v1.22 Patch is delayed .....

from Rob McGinnis; Thursday, 22 January 2009

It looks like we will not be releasing today. I will have to get back to you all on when we expect to release. Off the top of my head, I am thinking it will be at least two weeks. Could be more.

Rob estimates that the delay will be on the order of two weeks.

The patches have to be rebuilt, which takes three to five days.

The test cycle must start again for all languages.

And, it takes some time to get the translations done.

due to some problems the v1.22 final patch has been delayed as we all know.

now rob mcginnis posted whats the deal:

Here's the deal...

Originally the patch was delayed because of some translation fixes that were requested. Then Atari asked for some additional fixes to go in. Now we are waiting on a fix from SecuRom.

But, this delay has not gone to waste. We fixed a couple additional things and may fix a couple more for this patch. A couple of the fixes we made should clear up the problems people have been having with the Trial by Combat.

We are evaluating some ELC issues with Yuan-ti and the Favored Soul. Those may be fixed in 1.22 as well, or they may move off to 1.23 if it looks like it will take too long to fix them.

The patch has not gone to QA yet. Once it does, you can expect it to be about 2 weeks before it is released.

I will let you all know as soon as it goes to QA.

Do we have any news on a date for this patch now, as it has been nearly two weeks now?

Thanks,

Rob McGinnis writes on the official forums that the v1.22 patch for NWN2 should be out on February 18, barring no serious problems:

I would like to get the patch out to you on, or around the 18th of February. No promises, of course. If something really bad crops up in testing, we will have to delay again.

update:

rob:

No patch today (2/18). Testing is not complete yet.

update:
rob:

No patch today (2/19). We are waiting on final word from some of the testing groups.

Since we do not release full patches on Fridays, it will be Monday at the earliest before the patch comes out.

so hopefully the patch will be released on monday.

Grrr...

My patience is wearing thin... they better have gotten this right.

i hear you.
but in the end it's always better to have a decent tested patch available then one which brings up major issues again ..
