Again, what patch? I heard of an upcoming new version, not a patch.

I predict that a new patch will come out a week or so after the new version. Possibly less if there are any major problems.

"And the weeks counted shall be two, two being the second week counted to. Thou shalt not count to one, except that thou countest immediately to two after. Three is right out! After thou countest to two weeks, being the second week counted to, then pullest thou the plug on the server, throw the patch on, start it up and blowest thy customer's whines to smithereens, in thy mercy."

By the way, even "versions" are patches. A patch updates an executable without fully reinstalling it. Going from 1.0 to 1.1 takes you to a new version, yes, but you use a patch installation to get there.

It's a new version of the game they're asking about. Not, "When is the patch installer out?"

Krusty · « **Reply #24 on:** March 04, 2008, 12:21:10 PM »

The new version will come via a patch. So asking "when's the patch out" is a perfectly valid question.

Denholm · « **Reply #25 on:** March 04, 2008, 01:51:00 PM »

No no no... It may patch executables and game files, overall it is a new version of the game.

Folks are confusing "patch" with "update" or "revision"

A patch can describe anything that isn't a full reinstall from scratch. Patches have in every other game in existence updated features, aspects, etc. The patch is just the method for introducing changes, whatever changes they might be. The size of any changes doesn't matter, nor the complexity, you can still call it a "patch"

Semantics, I know.

Well.... You do have to re-do the Cache due to the new planes and redone planes.

Hmmmm.

Yes Denholm.... your point?

Motherland: That's true of a lot of cases. Hell, if you run the skin viewer it rebuilds your cache. That's not the game itself, that's just re-extracting the graphics files (which are updated sometimes in patches) from their compressed state.
