[GBS]

Just wondering about the status. Looking forward to the new features.

[Dane49]

So am I. :)It seems they still have a few more bugs to work out before they release it though.Hopefully it will be soon,I really like what they've been doing with the new uniforms.

[Flashburn]

Last I heard there where a few issues with new interface or some such.  At any rate, when ever Andrey gets scarce on forums something new is getting worked out.   

[Dane49]

Looks like a new winter setting for Taranovka in next patch.What ever that means?I'd like to see a summer setting for Taranovka,I think that would look very cool. 8)

Come on folks there is not much of may left now.  Andrey when can we expect the patch please?

[Flashburn]

I am putting on my fan boy hat........


My guess is that something is not working properly with may patch and that they are trying to fix it.  Andrey is not on forums much right now and that always happens when they are up to their eye balls in something or another. A major UI interface is a major deal with zillions of things that can go wrong.  But since the current interface is to hard for some people ?  they seem to be trying to make it easier on the new folks.  And yes, I want it too.   Been on major APOS binge for a few days.

"43) Apply the settings button is highlighted in red if the apply will delete the tactical savegames."

Thanks.  Very badly needed.

"42) Added a separate savegame (tactical) for a quick battle."

I'm excited to see how this works . . .

"5) Display time when an important event is occurred (during battle)."

Finally a timestamp!  I may experiment with one minute auto-pause scripts now.

[Flashburn]

Yes please.

Using my super mental powers, i would say yes.  Probably Graviteam is attempting to get all the online distributers to host/release patch.  Well that is my guess.
