PATCH UPDATE - NEWS TAB

There was a fix released this evening to update the news tab in the game. The text had become garbled with yesterday's update, but our update was a little big:

You may have noticed a patch for DOWII of approximately 130MB was just released via Steam. This patch was supposed to be 10MB and its only purpose was to update the news tab with yesterday's patch notes (and erase the square font).

Unfortunately the patch also redownloaded some files that already existed resulting in the larger than expected patch size. This extra data will not harm DOWII in any way nor should have it introduced any additional bugs.

We regret the patch was so large for such a simple fix. We are taking additional precautions to ensure this doesn't happen in the future.

Thank you.

- The DOWII Team

GAMES FOR WINDOWS - LIVE UPDATE ON DAWN OF WAR II

A change is being made on Games for Windows – LIVE today to improve the Multiplayer experience for DoW2 players. Ranked and Custom game modes requiring Games for Windows – LIVE will now only match players using the latest version of the game. Players should see a higher percentage of compatible games in the custom games list and reduced search times during matchmaking. Players with an out of date version of DoW2 will need to connect to Steam in ‘online mode’ to download the latest patch.

Players choosing to remain in ‘off-line’ mode will continue to have access to off-line Campaign and LAN game modes without connecting to Games for Window – LIVE or Steam.

PATCH - 1.1.3 POPULATION CAP BUG

We’re in the process of going live with a new patch for Dawn of War II. Today’s game update is aimed at resolving a population cap bug that you’re all likely well aware of. Many thanks for your patience as we worked on getting a fix in for this and tested:

Patch Size: 150MB

Patch Notes:

PvP Gameplay

• Addressed a Population Cap issue where during reinforcement, the final unit reinforced charged twice the population cap to the player. *NOTE* – This is part of 1 of a 2 part fix. There are still a few edge cases where the bug could occur. They are however, rare and require intended exploitation in order to recreate. Our next patch will completely resolve this issue but requires further testing and certification.

Visuals/Graphics

• Fixed an issue where users with the top end video cards were unable to select Ultra settings

Campaign

• Fixed a Fatal Scar error in Mission D (Angel Forge)

Der wichtige Punkt:
and reduced search times during matchmaking.
da der momentan ewig dauert...wie viel schneller kann ich grad ned testen^^

Players should see a higher percentage of compatible games in the custom games lis
bis jetzt wurden wenige Spiele angezeigt, obwohl genügend Spiele offen waren. Wie das nun im Endeffekt aussieht ....
 
Klingt gut, hoffe, dass schön noch am Game gearbeitet wird, weil es fetzt richtig :D

Das frag ich mich allerdings auch, ich hab mich schon gewundert, warum immer so wenig Spiele angezeigt werden, kann doch nciht angehen, das da immer nur ca 6-10 Spiele offen sind.
 
Neuer Patch, der heute abend wohl kommen dürfte

betrifft pop bug (Endlich)

edit: bereits draussen :D

Sehr schön endlich weg, der blöde Bug. hoffentlich zumindest;)

Was soll den im zweiten Teil kommen? Das versteh ich nicht so ganz, gibts noch ein Bug mit der "Bevölkerung"?
 
das ist nur ein vorübergehender Fix, sozusagen ein Hotfix bis der richtige Patch diesen Fehler formell korigiert. Jetzt wurde mehr geflickt als gelöst:D
Aber solange es läuft.... wayne^^
 
Anscheinend gibt es noch ein paar seltene Löcher, wo der Fehler auftritt. Die wichtigsten Löcher wurden gefixt, aber die anderen zu finden (mit einer Testreihe) dauert länger und kommt somit im nächsten Patch.

Ok, na watt solls, das Spiel ist wenigstens auf Anhieb spielbar, nciht so wie KW :mad

Und solange das nur seltene Fehler sind die sie sogar erst suchen müssen, um sie zu beheben, kanns ja nciht so gravierend sein.
 
Ist eigentlich ein neuer Patch in Planung?
Weil diese ständigen Abstürze, Hero und Maus Bug, nerven derbst -_-
 
Ach, ich liebe immer diese Soon Angaben :)
Trotzdem danke Toaster, dass lässt hoffen :o
 
Einige Infos

PATCHING PLANS UPDATE

Updated:

Many of you have been awaiting information on upcoming patches and changes to the game, and we have some to share with you today.

We have a small code patch that is currently undergoing the certification process, which we hope to have finalized in the near future. Since there’s always a chance that something can go wrong during the certification, we’re unable to give an exact release date, but as soon as that date firms up, we’ll let you know.

Code changes to look forward to in the next patch include:

-A final code-based fix to the Population Cap issue. This will also resolve the problems with Space Marine upkeep costs.

-A change to retroactively grant achievements to those people who rightfully earned them in the Single Player Campaign, which also prevents this from occurring to new players.

-We’ve made some adjustments to the matchmaking system to provide better quality matches based on TrueSkill™ Rankings.

-Squashed a bug that was allowing players to instantly win in Ranked matches after modding local files.



In addition to the code changes, we’re hoping to include some balance changes at the same time. Issues addressed include:

-Several changes to how energy shields work, making them less overpowered.

-A melee damage debuff added to Tactical Marines when they use “And They Shall Know No Fear”.

-Tactical Sergeant’s melee attack is less potent.

-Reduction of Warrior Adrenal Gland vehicle damage.

-Spore mines won’t be able to enter Ravener tunnels or Webway gates.

-Warp Spiders will do more damage.

-The build cost for the Carnifex increased.

Last but not least, we’re releasing a new 3v3 map, (6p) Tiber Outpost, for both ranked and custom matches!

The above isn’t an all-inclusive list, it’s still subject to change, and it’s certainly not the last time we’ll be doing balance changes.

Beyond this, we have another, larger patch in the certification pipeline that addresses even more issues, but is still several weeks out. Once again, as details firm up, we’ll let you know.

Ich finds gut, dass sie wieder so schnell einen Patch bringen. Allerdings sind die Balanceänderungen nicht besonders umfangreich.

Nach meinen bisherigen Erfahrungen sind die SM im MP sehr stark. Ich sehe Online eigentlich nur noch SM und Tyra Spieler. Leider ist es wie so oft, sobald eine Strategie gefunden wurde, die einfach umzusetzen ist und fast immer zum Erfolg führt, dann wird diese auch verwendet.

Die ganzen SM Spieler nehmen nur noch den FC mit Schild und pumpen dan die Taktischen Marine Squads. Ein paar mit Plasma und dann welche mit Racketenwerfer. Bei den Tyras verhält es sich ähnlich, ein paar Krieger und dann die Artelliere und gut is. Die Tyras haben auch eine Einheit mit der man alles unterdrücken kann, mir fällt gerade der Name nicht ein.

Als Ork Spieler, wird man auch nach dem Patch keine Chance haben, sobald der Gegner ungefähr gleich gut ist, hat man schon verloren wenn er Tyras oder SM spielt. Spätestens auf T2 sieht man kein Land mehr.

Bei den Eldar sieht man auch immer nur eine Spielweise, zuerst kommen 2-3 Guards und dann irgendwann der Falcon mit dem Schild.

Das die Schilde abgeschwächt werden finde ich schon mal gut, auch das die Takt. SM schwächer werden ist ok. Vielleicht ist es ganz gut, dass sie in ihren Patches langsam vorgehen und nicht zuviele Sachen auf einmal Patchen. Die technischen Änderungen sind alle ok, darüber muss man nicht diskutieren, aber die Balance muss noch angepasst werden.
 
Beacte aber, dass es sich hierbei um den kleinen Patch handelt. Mal schauen was noch kommt

Noch ne Info zum Grösseren:

This upcoming patch is pretty small compared to the one we're finalizing right now. That one will contain more maps.

Yeah, the patch next week is small and just addresses a few bugs (full pop-cap fix, matchmaking, missing achievement), in addition to some balance changes and a new 3v3 map.

The patch after that which is going into lockdown soon contains a ton of stuff.
 
Wann soll der Patch eigentlich erscheinen? Gibt es schon ein genaues Datum?
