Hey guys,


just a little information about an upcoming patch for CloD

Hi everyone,

We've been hard at work on a whole bunch of stuff here. Quicker fixes are now a thing of the past; we're working on larger more complex stuff and so patches, updates and improvements will be coming at a slower pace.

Our next BETA patch is tentatively scheduled for two weeks from now for Friday the 17th, and the release version of it is scheduled for the Friday after that, June 24th.

The next patch will contain:

* Improved streamlined multiplayer GUI
* Other multiplayer improvements - more stability, all plane settings like convergence and paintscheme working at all times, less rare bugs, etc.
* Various graphical improvements. The distant clouds are finally back - i.e. the flat representations of clouds you saw on beta screenshots with pretty sunlit borders. Finally fixed the landscape stripes bug, etc.
* Improvements to FM and DM and various cockpit systems, as usual - long list there.
* AI improvements, including at least the majority, if not all, of the order system working.
* A new warship!

Other things that are in the pipeline:

* Sound. This is probably the biggest issue we're facing. We're taking a very drastic approach to the issue and pretty much redoing our sound from scratch. This means you won't see the new sound for a few more months.
* FPS. The final remaining performance issues, which fortunately are comparatively minor, lie very deep in the engine, and require us to do a significant amount of work. Probably at least 2 months of it.
* Online stability, more anti-cheating controls, and server and aircraft SDK - also a few months out. Dedicated Server SDK and documentation is probably going to be done the quickest.

NOTE: this isn't an exhaustive list, but rather the main bullet points.

So stay tuned for more patch info next week. I'll try to do more regular weekly Friday updates from now on.

After that next patch I should finnaly be able to play it decently, haven't played it since the First patch, thought I would just wait for about 3 patches then try again.

Hi Adam,

First thanks for relaying here these informations.

I don't know if I would (at least;o) play it decently, I don't think, but no doubt they are working hard on it to improve the game and to let more and more users have fun on it ;o)

Yeh the patches are getting better and the game is getting
more accessible thanks to the new codeing that they are using
for terrain rendering and stuff. I tied out the latest patch
with my core unlocker on an AMD phenom x2 560 and got an
extra 20 fps, wow I thought. So the patches are pushing the
game in the right direction (only got a 2-3fps boost before
the first patch was out).

Can't wait till I get my new i7 2600. This game will be awesome to play.
