Hey, I noticed there's a new patch, but no patch notes as far as I can see.

Does someone know what is in the patch?

Thx.

Hosed my installation with that patch now it says "error sorry army data corrupted you may need to re-install". Thanks guys, I'm not in the mood. I lost the serials for swords and scimiters and imortal fire the last time I re installed!I have to remind myself not to be the 1st all the time. FOG worked this am, yesterday and the days before that. I can't think of anyhing else that would have changed (Win7 64 BTW)Only the DAG seems affected

I could still play in Multiplayer without issues after installing the patch, so I doubt it's that.

Still no news on what is actually in the patch, however...

Deeter use the auto-installer,
v1.5.2.
It works just fine in my laptop, plus i get to right in greek too :)
( a feature Slitherine did not offer before.... )
In the Multiplayer mode everything is fine, just that the dates of the games are in greek... Thanks Slitherine!

Just downloaded the new patch: no DAG army has survived the impact (not a big issue for me to say the truth, I don't play too much DAG), no saved scenario under previous version is still available (and this makes me a little bit more nervous because I was testing against AI a couple of custom made scenarios so need to restart play testing from the scratch), language has changed to my mothertongue which seems to be compulsory (at least I'm not able to find a language choice).... Is there any way to choose to play the game still in English language?

Cheers

Interesting. Usually, you are prompted to update before you can go into multi-player and there's an announcement on the forum. So all DAG army lists die upon up dating? If that's the case, I think I'll wait awhile.

I think Keith said thee were problems with the 1.5.2 patch so they were planning to go directly to 1.5.3 instead.

Chris, Just checked to be 100% sure: I'm playing und 1.5.2 version and there in no other patch after this. Anyway, I'm enjoying some very exhilarating translations from Engligh to Italian :D

Just downloaded the 1.5.2 patch..went straight to the DAG and to try out the Principate Roman side..which used to have the weaponless cats but when I click on that army I get a message 'Error: Sorry the army data is corrupted. You may need to reinstall the game'

I see one of the previous comments that they are going to go to 1.5.3 directly. Do we wait for this or try and re-install?

Same output (data corrupted:you may need to reinstall) for SAS DAG armies
-Later Crusaders
-Later Crusaders-Richard I.
-Ilkhanid Mongol.

cheers

As Dazzam has already correctly pointed out,

Is it possible to have from Developers an orientative timeline for the solving of the bugs present in patch 1.5.2?

thanks

Multiplayer and 1.52

Can you continue to play in multi without the upgrade to 1.52? What if you are in the midst of a game and your opponent has upgraded? Are you then required to upgrade? I am reluctant to upgrade until problems are fixed.

I'm going to wait too. It's amazing that such a glaring Snafu has occured. First an upgrade with no announcement and then major problems for those who upgraded. What's going on? I guess FoG has been placed on the back burner so more attention can be had for newer projects.

The strange thing is I upgraded to 1.5.2. yesterday, but haven't encountered any problems so far, and I only play multiplayer (both scenarios and DAG).

I also checked my DAG army lists (in one book) and it seems they're still all listed.

I'll open the game now, play multiplayer and open a few DAG lists (from all books), and see what happens.

Then I'll get back here to report.
