[R2TW] Patches

Hey Jungs, dann haut mal rein.
Von Freitag auf Freitag immer eine neue Kampagne, und zwar ne neue. Ist leider nicht savegamekompatibel und die Patches wirken auch immer nur bei neuen Fraktionen. Also nicht noch einmal neu mit Rom anfangen.
So verkauft man DLCs !

Neues Statement von CA!

Hi everyone,

We’ve just put up a hotfix that significantly improves campaign map frame-rate on a variety of hardware combinations that were getting frame rates less than 15 fps. It took us until Monday to get a case of this happening in the studio, but it was a very simple fix, so we’ve decided to put it out as a single issue patch. This bug was introduced very late in the process, but we absolutely should have found and fixed it before release.

This release has obviously not gone as planned for some people, and I want to apologise to everyone out there who had issues with the game, whether they were hardware issues or disappointment in the performance of game features. We obviously don’t plan to release a game with any bugs, performance and AI issues. How this has happened is something we’re beginning to post mortem in detail now.

Fortunately, the same tech that gave us the rope to work on the game right up to release lets us keep working on it after it’s out, and the flaws in the game are mostly just bugs, not structural defects. We can and will get the game to where we wanted it to be for everyone.

The top priority is stability and performance – both frame rates in battle and campaign, and end of turn times and loading times. Then gameplay spoilers – AI flaws and exploits, balancing tweaks and the level of challenge on higher difficulties. Then minor bugs, lesser features that really didn’t pan out, UI improvements, and longer term adjustments to features and systems that could be better. Because there are a lot of us working in parallel there will be a mixture of different priority fixes in each patch. Much of this work would be part of the usual planned improvements we would make to our games post-launch anyway, but we are aware that they have now taken on extra significance and importance.

We have a major improvement to end of turn times in the pipeline, along with around 100 fixes in the next patch. We have another 100 or so fixes already being tested for the patch after that. At this point the limiting factor on getting issues fixed in patches is not our ability to fix issues, it’s our ability to test them and guarantee that we don’t repeat past mistakes by putting a patch out that breaks something new. We’ll also be putting each patch up as a beta you can opt in to before releasing it. It’s our aim to continue patching more or less weekly until all the bugs are dealt with.

Then we can start the kind of dialogue we always want to be having with the community – which new features you like, which you don’t like, which deleted features from previous games you really miss and so on. That’s a good conversation to be having, and since it’s our intention not to fall in to the trap of just re-skinning the previous game each time, it’s one that hopefully you’ll be having for years to come.

Lastly, I’m hoping we can fundamentally treat our releases differently in the future. Long open betas are the way things are going, and while that model hasn’t been compatible with the way Total War has been built to date, that could be the way forward.

Ja wie konnte das nur passieren?
Da schreibt schon der Chef persönlich eine Entschuldigung.....
Hehe, bekommen die jetzt Muffensausen, weil die Kritik wohl stellenweise wirklich vernichtend war?

Zitat von The Glue

EDIT: In order for these changes to come into effect you must start a new campaign.

Mehr fällt mir dazu nicht ein.
Ich schaff in einer Woche keine Kampagne ...

Es geht doch nur um diesen einen Fix für die Karte. Das heist doch nicht, dass du bei jedem Patch eine neue Kampagne starten musst.

Hoffen wir es.
Habe grade neu mit den Römern wieder auf legendär gestartet diesmal mit den Juliern statt Juniern.
Mal sehen ob das vielleicht diplomatisch einen Unterschied macht und eventuell später diese sehr vielen Kriegserklärungen verhindert.

Lol, was ist dass denn für ein Kommentar? Nicht mal der dümmste der Dümmsten dürfte das abkaufen. Sorry einfach nur noch lächerlich.

Entweder bin ich Blind oder Doof Jedenfalls hab ich die Patchnotes noch nicht gefunden

Zitat von Niffer

Entweder bin ich Blind oder Doof Jedenfalls hab ich die Patchnotes noch nicht gefunden

Schon mehrfach gepostet eher nur ein Hotfix:

Zitat

Patch 1.5 Contains one fix:
- Should improve Campaign Map frame rate in the majority of cases for those people with high-end graphics cards combined with mid-range CPUs. Those people who have noted high frame rates in battle but single-figure frame rates during Campaign Map play should see a notable increase in performance.
EDIT: In order for these changes to come into effect you must start a new campaign.

Wie schon gesagt, kommt der eigentliche Patch etwas später, sie wollen noch mehr Fixes einbauen.

Neuer Beta Patch 2.0 veröffentlicht!

Technical and Performance Issues

• Campaign performance optimisations.
• Campaign AI round time improvements (greatest effect during early game).
• A new "Limited" option has been added to the "Show AI Player Moves" settings in Single Player and Multiplayer Campaign modes, this enables the player to see all movement of enemy factions, all movement within the players regions, and all movement within sea that the player has ports in during the AI turns.
• Improved AI recruitment decisions in Campaign modes. Further improvements planned for subsequent patches.
• Pathfinding optimisation on the Campaign Map.
• Fix for "Level of Detail" distances scaling incorrectly when the "Field of View" is changed which reduces the chance of the "Intelligent Zoom" [N] key, causing "zombie like” low quality textures on unit faces in battles.
• A new warning message has been added to loading screen to inform the player when graphics memory is running low, and the game is downgrading the players graphics settings. This can be overriden, allowing the game to use system memory for graphics (VRAM) by ticking the "Unlimited video memory" option in the graphics menu.
• Increased the frame rate and reduced frame stuttering in battles on certain GPUs.
• Improved compatibility for graphics cards with multiple GPUs.
• Added earlier Multiplayer Campaign resyncronisation detection, upon loading save games which allows resyncronisation in more cases.

• Some desyncronisations have been fixed in multiplayer city / port assault battles.
• Crash fix for when multiple AI reinforcements arrive in a single player siege battle in Campaign mode.
• Fix for crash when selecting Custom Battle mode after fighting several different Multiplayer battles.
• Fix for a crash in 4v4 custom or multiplayer battles caused by the battle AI.
• Fix for crash when cancelling a game request for a password protected game whilst in a Multiplayer battle lobby.
• Fix some crashes in multiplayer campaign mode, when one player quit the game, it would cause the other player to crash.
• Fixed a Multiplayer crash which happened when a client joined a lobby and was being allocated to the wrong slot.
• Fix for a very rare crash when launching a new campaign.
• Fixed rare battlefield loading lockup.
• Fix for a rare crash caused by animal handlers in battles.
• Fix for crash that happens when AI unit triggers raise banner special ability when no human units are selected in battles.

Gameplay Improvements

• Improved balancing for Food and Squalor in Campaign Mode.
• Campaign AI is more likely to make a stand when defending its final settlement, but may still seek out another home, if they fear losing the final battle.

• Some missions in single player and multiplayer Campaign have been fixed and now execute correctly.
• When a settlement is captured via a siege battle, with a friendly naval fleet blockading its port, the ownership of the port is now changed correctly to the friendly navy fleet on capture.
• Fix for AI taking inappropriate sized siege equipment into battle when the user changed the settlement wall height, via the map selection settings, in Custom Battle mode.
• Fix for defending armies under AI control grouping together at the edge of their deployment zone, during Ambush battles when the player choses to wait before attacking them.
• Improved AI and scripting in the Raphia Historical Battle.
• Fixed a bug preventing the player from progressing in The Invasion of Samnium prologue chapter, if they had spent all of their funds before being instructed to recruit a General (and therefore having no funds to do so).
• The Attribute increases for an agent accompanying an army now activate its associated effects on the general of that army in Campaign modes.
• Improved AI collision detection with Deployables in battle.

Uah. Mir wird ganz anders beim lesen...

Sie haben teils ziemlich eingegriffen. Bin mal gespannt was die Anpassungen bewirken werden.

Für alle interessierten, die aber Angst vor der Größe haben, es ist mit 78 MB relativ klein.

Ich lads mir mal runter und hab dazu auch extra die Mods vorher gelöscht, sicherheitshalber.

Edit:
Achja fast vergessen.
Thx. wie immer @ RubbelDieKatz fürs posten und überall rumschauen, so kann ich jetzt schon für heute Abend laden und verschenke keine Spielzeit.

Klingt aber doch ganz gut. Einige wichtige Fehler haben sie dann ja definitiv aufgegriffen. Bin mal auf die ersten Berichte gespannt.

Erst wirksam bei neuer Kampagne?

Kann mir vielleicht jemand sagen wo ich dort nen Download Link finde? Vielleicht stell ich mich aber auch einfach nur zu blöd an

Download des Patches läuft automatisch über Steam. Wie immer seit Empire.

Geh in Steam auf Rome 2, Rechtsklick, Eigenschaften. Oben im Reiter Betas die beta 2 auswählen, dann patcht er automatisch.

Hallo.

Also bei mir war des Update gerade nur 22 MB groß, was - wie üblich - mehr als stotternd gesaugt wurde. Der zweite Patch hatte wie gesagt der Grafik noch ein neues Flimmern beigefügt. Bin gespannt, wie es jetzt läuft ...

Kann mir jemand bitte sagen, wo GENAU ich die Versionsinfo finde? Also eigentlich müsste doch jetzt irgendwo 1.5 oder so was stehen, oder? Mit dem Beta warte ich vielleicht, aber wo issen bitte der Link zu dem Download, ich finde im englischen Forum nur die Release Notes. Daanke.

Ähh steht über deinem Post???

Die Versionsnummer ändert sich nur im hinteren Bereich im Hauptmenü oben rechts. Evtl. wird bei offiziellem Release von Patch 2.0 eine v2.0 draus.
