Patch #4 status.

Markus Heinsohn · 10-06-2009, 05:03 AM

Hey guys,

unfortunately we are still waiting for ViaTech to provide us with a new eLicense wrapper which fixes some security issues. Apart from this, the patch is ready to go. Once we get what we need from ViaTech (it was promised yesterday, but didn't show up), we will create another beta version and then will probably release it to the public a couple of days later.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Markus

There's a flight from LAX to TPA leaving at 7.45am arriving after a change at ATL at 5pm - it's then a taxi ride out to Tarpon Springs.

I can drive over there. You think the Phoenix, the Mash, or perhaps the Old Hickory? Or maybe even the Dinger?

Yes.

No problem. Football season is in full swing so I won't be opening OOTP again until Feb.

ViaTech is made up of good people. Cut them some slack. Somebody probably has the flu or something.

Thanks Markus!

Are they really in Tarpon Springs? I am like 45 mins from them with traffic.

Bluenoser · 10-06-2009, 03:43 PM

Don't take this as a complaint or whine, but why does another beta have to be done?

Just sounds to me like there's more than a licensing problem if beta's are still required.

ike121212 · 10-06-2009, 03:52 PM

To make sure the wrapper works with OOTP.

Well if the licensing program is written into the game then that with the other fixes could conflict with each other. I could only imagine what ppl would say if something is wrong with their licensing that prevents them from playing the game at all. Then ppl would wonder why Markus would put out an untested update.

You can't win with some ppl I guess.

You should always wrap it.

Why? Football season, which is only played 4 days out of the week (depedning if you watch both NFL, and NCAA) will somehow affect your playing time for the other three days?
