FoG patch 1.1.1

Lysimachos · Post by **Lysimachos** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:35 am

I've noticed that Slitherine has launched a new patch for FoG, named 1.1.1, but no mentions has been made about its features.
Could it be possible to know what are the tweaks and bug fixes inserted in it?
Moreover, differently from what happened before, I am still able to play MP games also without having installed it.
Is it normal?
And a last question, to end up.
On the "Tech support" forum there are lots of complaints about a new bug that kills MP games and it seems to be related with the new patch.
Being quite dubious about installing tha patch at the moment, wouldn't be better if Slitherine gave any explanation about it, reassuring that there is no problem, if everything is working fine, or warning everybody not to install the patch at the moment if there are bugs?
Thank's a lot for any reply!

All the changes are covered in the game help index/release notes. Keith

So, if i understand clearly the line:
Fix: UI: Null pointer crash in uiplayer.s.AncientsUI.InitComplete2.
the patch shouldn't create the afore mentioned problem but instead give a solution to it.
Thank's for the explanation.

1.1.1 is the patch that caused the infamous null pointer bug (see the tech support section).

If you still have 1.1.0, keep it and wait for 1.1.2

If you want to play multiplayer, you'll have to use the latest patch, null pointer bug and all.

The Matrix version of RoR automatically patches to 1.1.1!

That's not really right because I'm still palying MP games without any problem though having not installed the 1.1.1 patch.

The bug is fixed in 1.1.2 and thats complete and in testing here, it also adds the Line of Sight rules to Rise of Rome. Keith

Fantastic! I do wonder if suddenly, in ongoing games the enemy army will vanish from sight!
