Aeroaero Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 What we know so far is that the beta testing is finished. But this is old story now , over two weeks good old news. What has really happened to 1.1, why distribution seems to take so long...? :?
olaleier Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Every time someone makes a thread with "1.1" in the title, they postpone the release one week. It's now been pushed all the way to late April. :cry: (they also kill a kitten)
ZoomBoy27 Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 From my limited knowledge as an accountant, I'd say the distribution is something that ED is testing right now. This is something that Ubisoft used to do for them. And a further guess is the distribution, especially the download system and the new VISA option, has to be rock-solid, has to work in the CIS financial system, has to have error recovery methods, and has to be tested. No one wants to be chasing after ED for compensation if there are errors.

Dmut Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 ED and testers are polishing last issues, double-checking missions and campaigns, testing installer and protection system. And remember - LO to be released in February, ready or not :) "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

EscCtrl Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I'm not so bothered about waiting seeing as I'm away in the Canary Islands for the next week LO-MAC will be far off my mind :P. They said February so they can keep their promise and delay the release right up until the 28th and be on time. Or delay it further (and kill more kittens)

Well I just made a stupid mistake, which experienced testers don't make - I said something about release date and automatically got accused for lying, delaying release, and for all other sins. No problem, lesson have been learned, next time I shall keep a silence.

"has to work in the CIS financial system" I don't think people will buy it on the internet in the CIS. But if ED tries to set up an direct-payment system for Western customers to a CIS bank, it is not too swift - that's the speed of banks here in my country. Lots of paperwork.

plug pray Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 yes, sorry, true... havent thought about that... it'd better be functional anyway...
PE_Tigar Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 BTW, was Visa option confirmed? That's the only option for me, as Pay Pal does not operate in my country and I do not live in the CIS...
