They will want to test it properly, with at least a few beta testers running through til at least 1945 as the majors to be sure it's in good shape I imagine.

So think how long it takes to run through a full game, assume the betas have lives and can't test 24/7 and you can take a guess at when it's likely to be ready :).

On the up side as long as the AI and difficulty are running better than CORE .32 and it keeps all the cool bits from that then the new release should be awesome :).
 
Some long games as majors, some as minors and some hands-off, to be sure. I would imagine play-testing the mod takes more time than just playing it, though. At least in a hands-on game.
 
Plus rerunning the tests, and doing it all again the moment the hotfix came out. ;) Right now the target for release is somewhere in the middle of the week, just to have things run through properly.
 
Meh, I it will be late August before my pre-ordered boxed version arrives. And still no ETA on patch #2. ;)

Anyway, as to an ETA on CORE 0.4.0: I integrated some minor changes this morning based on the feedback from the Betas, and apart from a CTD Dec managed to reproduce we're pretty much good to go. So hopefully tomorrow, unless tracking that CTD takes somewhat longer than expected. But I'm still awaiting feedback from Dec about that one...
 
Uh, after all that time, more than a year after last release, I feel like a squirrel in Ice Age the Movie, almost touching that acorn, almost... :))

Can't wait to see what you guys made!
 
Let's just hope it doesn't turn into "any day now" for the next few weeks. :D

Yea, I do hope it is ready soon. After I installed the Arma Beta patch and toyed with it a while, I hung the game up-no CORE, not play.

Its been about 6 months now without HoI-I'm starting to miss it.
 
Yep - Dec's doing some last-minute testing regarding the CTD, to make sure. We do want it to be released this weekend at the latest though. At least it buys me some time to verify the graphics packs I've already uploaded for release are all working OK. Just as well - one of them AGAIN turns out to be corrupted during download (already at attempt #5 to get it fixed - a bit tedious, given the fact that one single upload/download cycle takes about 2 hrs).

And thus the cycle continues....
 
But not for long - and that's a promise.
 
Just make sure you've got nothing planned for this weekend. ;)
