Will there be a patch?

[azedalis]

Is there a patch coming??? I really would like to see a patch soon if only to fix the problem with the crash after merging two fleets. This is a critical problem in the game and even more so with Privateer since you have less slots open for captains. We can get a new fleet when we do a battle but you will soon fill up your captains since you cant remove them. I know you all are aware of the problem, but you havent even announced you are working on a patch. I bought this game because of the trust I have with Paradox games, knowing they were fairly quick with patching the games to make them playable. So far this doesn't seem to be the case with this game. This problem has been around since the release of privateer and was quickly figured out. Please let us know when a patch is expected.

Yes, there is a patch coming soon that will fix that problem among many others.

It has been three weeks since the last post. By soon, do you mean some time this year? Some time next year? Perhaps a simultaneous release with StarCraft II?

It has been almost two months since I made the mistake of purchasing Privateer on Steam. Not only has Privateer never worked for more than an hour due to all of the critical, never-patched bugs in it, it also broke my previously purchased EIC by adding DC with all of its bugs. A game that's worthless because it's unplayable is one thing, but this thing actually manages to have negative worth by ruining previous purchases.

Actually we released the update yesterday. It will take some more time to be available through Steam and Impulse systems though.

Not to sound like a broken record, but by "some more time" did you mean two months? Three months? Some time in 2011? It has now been almost three months since I bought Privateer and all of my EIC games broke.
