Piranha Bytes´ music wizard Kai Rosenkranz posted a few infos about the next patch in the official forum, followed by a further clarification.
Of course the posts are in German. Here´s a short summary and a few points based on other sources mixed in:
Of course the posts are in German. Here´s a short summary and a few points based on other sources mixed in:
- Is the patch confirmed? Yes.
- ETA: Unknown. PB / JoWooD will only announce it when they are sure to ship on time.
- KaiRo said they´re running into considerable problems in various areas while developing the patch.
- Is it free of charge? Yes. Additional distribution methods are under consideration, for example including it on the next project´s DVD, but the usual free download options will definitely be made available.
- Will the patch make it necessary to start over? No definite infos about this, but PB is evaluating it.
- Size: Unconfirmed, although it seems safe to expect the dimension to be GB rather than MB.
- Reason: "Changes to story / logic / world data / 3D data lead to a size explosion [of the patch]" (transl.)
- The technical problems are solved (status -> patch 1.12). Therefor PB prefers to work on a well thought out solution instead of rushing the patch out the door.
- Months ago PB has made clear they are well aware they can only ship a patch of this size once.
