Sengoku - Development Diary #18 - Post Release IV - 7th of October

[Johan]

Hi guys.

This is a very short development diary, but I just want you to know that the team is busy working on a 1.03 patch, which will be deployed to QA today, with a goal of releasing it next week.

The education events have been fixed, the expose plot costing you honor is fixed, we've added the mountain pass between Kai & Shinano. Our devs have been busy trying to adress all reports so that we get a polished 1.3 out.

There will be no new features for 1.3, as its mostly about fixing the problems you have reported.

Have a great weekend, and enjoy Sengoku!

Would this patch be compatible with the saves from 1.02?

Compatible is one thing, bug free another. We try to keep the save games valid between patches. 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 loads as far as I know, but some bugs need us to add things to savegames when fixing. Those fixes won't work with old save games. (Ie if you have a savegame where no character claims the shogunate, parts of the bug will still be present, since the bug was related to a variable not being saved ).
Thus, continuing an old save, can result in anomalities and bugs that have been fixed => if you use an old save you shouldn't report bugs. But feel free to try.
Most changes 1.1 to 1.2 were interface and ai related and 1.2 to 1.3 will be almost exclusively bug fixes.

Use old saves at your own risk. I would.

I am more concerned about the shutdown problem. Something changed with 1.2 but in full detail my laptop still shuts down (1024*768). The very same setting in windowed doesn't shut down... I don't understand... the legacy mode, hell I hate it, the map looks awful. Help me devs, pleeeaseeee.

Please post that as a report in the bug forum and attach your logs and DXdiag for when the crash occur.

By the way, when is next DEV diary update coming? Curiosity killed the cat.

All focus right now are on getting the 1.03 patch out to you guys ;-)

I was reluctant to as well, but I've found it quite useful. I follow all the Paradox folks and obtain updates that I would otherwise miss out on.

Its so much easier to tweet out small information to everyone. Discussions are for forums, twitter is for "broadcast short message"

My game just updated itself via steam to 1.03. Feels good.

Steam makes it so easier to do patch distribution. I wish we could do steam-only versions.
