VODs der Finals gibt es zu einigen Spielen auch, z.T. auf inoffiziellen Seiten wie z.B. hier das AoE3 Final:

Zeigt zum Teil auch den unglaublichen Herstellersupport was einige Spiele und Features wie Observermodus etc. angeht, sowohl negativ als auch positiv. ^^

Patch 1.9 für CnC 3 soll ende nächste Woche erscheinen...

Hey everyone,

Here is a quick update on patch 1.09 and then some further updates on some common bug issues I've seen and some answers to help out on that.

Patch 1.09 will not be coming out this week. You may remember I said a couple weeks back that it was with our best intent to release the patch + battlecast viewer + battlecast website changes all by this week, but as mentioned last week, we had a legal setback which required us to modify our Read-Me and thus pushed our submission date to the final approvals back a few days. So tonight we are submitting to the final processes and they usually take about a week, give or take a few days. Right now, unless we get a showstopper that requires fixing before release, we're aiming for a late week release, next week.

I want to be open and candid about our processes so hopefully you understand why we have setbacks sometimes and also why releasing patches isn't always as easy as it sounds And this is a big release between the patch and Battlecast changes. Not to mention, BattleCast Primetime Episode 3 will be dropping on you on Oct 25th as well, a lot going on next week!

And on the note of connectivity issues, I am still uncertain exactly what the primary cause is for some people. I am trying to get more specific info on the thread, appreciate you baring with me, i'll do whatever I can to accomodate.

Thanks,

APOC (EA communtity Manager)

Diese Woche kommt der Patch nicht - Sie hatten einige rechtliche Probleme, wofür sie die Readme umbauen mussten und den kompletten Patch neu dem "final approvement" übergeben mussten - diese final approvment prozesse brauchen normalerweise eine Woche, also ist als momentaner Releasezeitpunkt Ende nächster Woche anvisiert - solange kein weiteres Problem auftaucht sollten sie den Zeitpunkt auch halten können.

Er weisst nochmal darauf hin, das der 1.09er ein großer Patch ist, mit Battlecast Viewer, Battlecast Änderungen und am 20.okt kommt auch schon Battlecast Primetime Episode 3.

Um uns etwas mehr Einblick darüber zu geben, was sie mit den Patches auch machen hat er einige Bugreports rausgesucht, die sie mit ihrer QA Abteilung durchgesprochen haben und gibt Antworten, auch wenn einige Antworten wohl nicht die von den Usern gewünschten sind.

* CnC3 hat offiziell keine Alt-Tab Unterstützung, deswegen werden Probleme die damit auftauchen wohl auch nie bearbeitet werden. (Ich muss dazu sagen, bei mir funktioniert Alt-Tab sehr gut)

* Ein Problem mit Sammlern, dass sie aufhören zu sammeln, wenn neben ihrem Tiberiumkristall kein Tiberium mehr ist (das Feld aber noch voll) wurde gefixt.

* Ein Problem mit dem Mutterschiff (das es nicht feuert, wenn man den Befehl gibt und sich nicht bewegt) sollte mit 1.09 gefixt sein

* Devastator Schiffe fliegen in den Gegner rein anstatt von ihrere maximalen Reichweite aus zu feuern - sollte mit 1.09 gefixt sein

* Devourer kann sich an Gebäuden aufladen

* Es ist Design intent, dass Decoy Army Einheiten minimalen Schaden machen.

* Wenn man eine Box um z.b. Panzer und Sammler zieht werden nur die Panzer ausgewählt, dass ist per Design so, also gewollt.

[Destreuer 0]

Patch 1.9 für c&c3 erscheint morgen Nacht.

Zitat von Apoc

Patch 1.09 is coming out tomorrow. We will start the deploy in the morning, and it should be available world-wide by the late afternoon. We will make download mirrors available if you have trouble getting it online or on our official site.

The BattleCast Viewer and BattleCast website changes are set to go live on Thursday. You should most be looking forward to the Battlecast website updates as they will grealy improve the performance of the tool and searching for replays, etc. For the free BattleCast viewer, if you already own the game, of course you do not need this, but we strongly encourage you to tell your friends to download it if they want to watch you or anyone else play online. Its a pretty awesome tool and quite a large file as well.

So, Patch 1.09 will be in your hands tomorrow along with all the balance changes and new Map Wrecktropolis as well.

Thanks for your patience as always,

==================================================================

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™

Version 1.09 Patch Notes - October, 2007

==================================================================

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars fixes several

bugs, makes balance changes across all three sides, adds a

new four-player multiplayer map, and more.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused players to unexpectedly

type-select multiple unit types at once due to an interface lag

when rapidly switching between unit types during online play.

· Structures now lose Ground Control radius as soon as they are

destroyed. Previously they continued providing Ground Control for

several seconds while their husks remained onscreen.

· Fixed an error that caused some infantry units to continue

approaching their targets while firing, rather than firing

while standing at their maximum range.

· Fixed an error that caused upgraded Power Plants and Reactors to

continue providing power for several seconds after being destroyed.

· Fixed an error that allowed players to detect enemy structures

through the shroud by using the Set Rally Point marker.

· Fixed an error that caused computer-controlled players with the

"Turtle" personality to not build base defenses as expected.

· Nod Avatar's flamethrower upgrade now correctly shows a

garrison-clearing effect.

/New Map: Wrecktropolis/

The ongoing conflict between the forces of GDI, the Brotherhood

of Nod, and the Scrin have taken a tremendous toll on the world,

as evidenced by countless ruined husks of cities. Wrecktropolis

is one such example. This is a four-player map available for

unranked matches.

/Rebalanced Map: Barstow Badlands/

This map is now slightly larger: There is more buildable area

near players' starting bases, and the chokepoints are not as

narrow. Garrisonable structures should now be symmetrical for

both players.

/Rebalanced Map: Tournament Tower/

This map no longer has a third-tier elevation level in the center

of the map, which frees up this area for battle. Expansion

Tiberium fields switched from blue to green. Various objects

throughout the map have been removed to free up room for base

building and combat.

/Rebalanced Map: Pipeline Problems/

This map no longer has pipelines near the northern starting

position, to mirror the layout of the southern starting position.

/Rebalanced Map: Tiberium Gardens III (Kane Edition)/

This Kane Edition map no longer has Tiberium fields along the

narrow ridges. New expansion fields have been added to the far

side of each basin containing a player position.

The following balance changes are intended to make resource-

gathering more strategic and artillery units more viable, while

also further tuning the combat forces to ensure even balance

across all three factions in any combination.

/General Balance Changes/

· Harvesters: Carrying capacity reduced by 42% to 1400 credits of

green crystals and 2800 credits of blue crystals. Gathering cycle

sped up by 8 seconds. Overall rate of income reduced by

approximately 35%.

· GDI MCV, Nod MCV, Scrin Drone Platform: Cost/Build time

increased by 40% to 3500/35, health and speed normalized.

· Outposts: Health increased by 5%. This prevents them from being

destroyed by one use of the Nod Shadow Team's Explosive Charges.

/GDI Balance Changes/

· Grenadier Squad: Range increased by 20%.

· Commando: Suppression time reduced by 70%. This means the

Commando can use his C4 Charges to demolish multiple structures

more quickly.

· Juggernaut: Range increased by 25%.

· Mammoth Tank: Turret turn rate reduced by 66%. This makes the

vehicle slightly less effective at quickly changing targets.

· Sonic Emitter: Attack power reduced by 25%. This means the

Sonic Emitter can no longer one-shot-kill certain vehicles.

/Brotherhood of Nod Balance Changes/

· Crane: Health increased by 50%, normalizing its health with

that of the GDI Crane and Scrin Foundry.

· Fanatics: Cost/Build time reduced by 13% to 700/7.

· Commando: Suppression time reduced by 70%. This means the

Commando can use her C4 Charges to demolish multiple structures

more quickly.

· Attack Bike: Range increased by 16%.

· Stealth Tank: Attack power increased by 66%.

· Beam Cannon: Range increased by 25%. This does not affect the

Avatar's extra weapon gained from commandeering a Beam Cannon.

· Avatar: Health increased by 25%. Pre-attack delay reduced by

33%. Main weapon's attack power increased by 25%.

· Confessor: Upgrade no longer provides a rate-of-fire bonus to

affected infantry squads.

· Tiberium Infusion: Upgrade bonus to infantry squads' health

reduced by 60%.

· Catalyst Missile: Support Power cost increased by 33% to 2000.

· Tiberium Vapor Bomb: Support Power cooldown time increased by

25% to 300. Attack power increased by 140%.

/Scrin Balance Changes/

· Disintegrators: When crushed by enemy vehicles, attack power of

explosive revenge attack increased by 30%.

· Seeker: Health reduced by 13%.

· Devastator Warship: Range increased by 20%. Rate of fire

reduced by 200%. Attack power increased by 100%. Scatter radius

reduced.

· The Swarm: Support Power can no longer be used directly on top

of infantry and vehicles. Cooldown time increased by 66% to 150.

Now spawns 5 Buzzers instead of 7.

· Phase Field: Support Power no longer affects infantry. Cooldown

time reduced by 50% to 180.

· Tuning to Classic Command & Conquer (Left-Click Orders)

mouse interface: Bridges are no longer selected in favor of

issuing move orders. Players can now issue orders on the Radar.

· There is a new Fast-Forward button onscreen while watching

Replays or BattleCasts.

==================================================================

Version 1.07 Patch Notes - August, 2007

==================================================================

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars enables the Mod

SDK, fixes several bugs, and makes some balance changes.

· The Mod SDK installer will only work with the 1.07 patch. The

Mod SDK installer is for the user to create customizable maps,

units, AI, UI, and much more. Visit commandandconquer.com for more

information and to download the Mod SDK.

There is a tab for launching replays and a tab for launching Mods.

· Fixes for various cheats have been put into place. Please be

advised that players attempting to tamper with the game may cause

online matches to automatically desync.

· Fixed a bug that wouldn't allow GDI projectile shells to track

targets properly.

· Fixed a bug that caused the Scrin Drone Platform to self-

destruct when coming in contact with an enemy upgraded Scrin

Annihilator Tripod.

· Fixed a bug with decoyed GDI Mammoth Tanks created by the Nod

Decoy Army support power that allowed them to crush enemy units.

· Fixed a bug where support powers, Scrin Tiberium Vibration Scan

and Nod Radar Jamming Missile, deducted twice the amount of

credits indicated.

· Fixed errors that caused some players to experience unexpected

problems due to copy protection.

· Scrin Mothership now takes 8 seconds to deploy over the

Scrin Signal Transmitter, where it will be unselectable by user

but can be attacked by opponent. Scrin Mothership speed has been

increased by 33%. Weapon chain reaction delay increased by 1 sec.

· GDI Pitbull: Health reduced by 20%. Mortar upgrade cost

increased by 100% to 2000. Mortar scatter radius increased.

destroyed or sold.

· Cranes for all factions can no longer build defensive

structures or superweapons.

· Harvesters' rate of collecting Tiberium has been made equal

across all factions. Harvesters will now unload at the refinery

before moving to a new Tiberium field.

· John Freeman and James Geiger credited for Mastering Lab work.

· TransGaming Inc. credited for Macintosh conversion.

==================================================================

Version 1.06 Patch Notes - July, 2007

==================================================================

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 changes the way that disconnect

stats are recorded during ranked and unranked online matches,

addresses a critical exploit, and fixes a number of other bugs.

· Changed the way that disconnects are reported. Now, whenever the

game detects that a disconnect has occurred in a 1v1 match, both

players are given a disconnect stat -- neither player is given a

win or loss stat.

· Fixed an exploit that caused any unit or structure to become

invincible if force-fired upon by a Mammoth Tank that had been

upgraded with Rail Guns.

· Fixed a bug that caused the Nod Cloaking Field power to deduct

up to 6,000 credits from the Operations Center. The power now

correctly deducts 3,000 credits.

· Fixed a bug that allowed players in the online lobbies to

/tell and /invite users that had marked them to be ignored.

· Players can no longer send /tell messages to other players as

observers during a multiplayer match.

· Fixed a hang that occurred when users typed /friend or /invite

without a corresponding name.

==================================================================

Version 1.05 Patch Notes - May 29, 2007

==================================================================

This patch for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars fixes several

exploits and bugs, makes balance changes across all three sides,

adds four new multiplayer maps and assorted user interface

enhancements, and more.

· Fixed an exploit in which players could use GDI Engineers,

Nod Saboteurs, or Scrin Assimilators to capture enemy structures

without moving the units over to those structures.

· Observers of multiplayer matches can no longer use hotkeys to

affect spectated players' production queues.

· Units affected by the Scrin Mothership's Catalyst Cannon now

lose their explosive properties if teleported via the Teleport

Units ability or the Wormhole support power.

· It is no longer possible to stall an online multiplayer match

by repeatedly pressing the Capture Screenshot hotkey.

· Fixed a team exploit in which the Nod Cloaking Field support

power could be used to make infantry units inside of allied GDI

APCs gain stealth.

The following balance changes are intended to enable a more

diverse set of viable strategies for both casual and competitive

play, and to further ensure that the forces of the GDI, the

Brotherhood of Nod, and the Scrin are evenly matched as the

Tiberium Wars rage on.

/General Balance Changes/

· Some structures on each side no longer provide Ground Control

for base expansion. These include: Power Plants, Reactors,

Tiberium Silos, Barracks, Hands of Nod, and Portals.

· Heavy infantry units' resistance to CANNON damage increased by

45%. This affects GDI's Zone Troopers and Commando, Nod's Black

Hand and Commando, and Scrin's Shock Troopers and Mastermind.

All other infantry resistance to CANNON damage increased by 25%.

This change means infantry are less vulnerable to tank shells and

similar weapons.

· Infantry armor penalty to SNIPER damage removed. This change

makes infantry slightly less vulnerable to Nod Shadow Teams in

particular; GDI Commandos and Sniper Teams, Nod Commandos, and

Scrin Buzzers are still highly lethal against enemy infantry.

· Infantry attack range bonus while garrisoned reduced by 25%.

· GDI Commando, Nod Commando, and Scrin Mastermind units can no

longer be crushed by enemy vehicles.

· CANNON weapons, such as those found on the GDI Predator Tank and

Nod Scorpion Tank, now cannot miss against moving enemy vehicles.

· GDI, Nod, and Scrin Harvesters' cost/build time increased by 40%

to 1400/14. Standardized all Harversters' speed and turn rate.

Specifically, the Scrin Harvester is now slightly more

maneuverable than before.

· GDI Refinery, Nod Refinery, and Scrin Extractor sale price

reduced by 70% to 300 credits.

· GDI Engineers, Nod Saboteurs, and Scrin Assimilators now

capture enemy structures or repair allied structures as soon

as they reach the edge of the structures.

· Standardized the speed of GDI Surveyor, Nod Emissary, and Scrin

Explorer base expansion units. Specifically, the Nod Emissary and

Scrin Explorer now move 50% more slowly to match the GDI Surveyor.

· Repair Drones for all sides can now repair vehicles that are

under attack. Limit one Drone per vehicle. Rate of repair is now

constant, rather than a percentage based on the vehicle's total

health. This means vehicles with lower maximum health will be

repaired faster.

· Standardized repair radius on all structures. As a result, the

radius on all aircraft production structures has increased.

· Re-stealth time doubled for units that do not have innate

stealth effects, such as units affected by Nod's Cloaking Field.

This means such units will take longer to regain stealth after

attacking or being detected.

· Standardized the amount of Ground Control provided by a GDI

Crane, Nod Crane, or Scrin Foundry. Specifically, the amount of

Ground Control gained by building a Nod Crane or Scrin Foundry

has increased by 50%.

· Tiberium Spike tech structure's income increased by 66% to 25

credits per unit of time.

· Defensive Tower tech structure's attack power increased by 60%.

· Visceroids are now punishable by crushing.

/GDI Balance Changes/

· Rifleman Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Attack power increased

by 50%. Dig In ability cost/buildtime reduced to 100/5, now causes

the Riflemen Squad to begin building a Foxhole immediately at its

location. Foxhole capacity increased to two units. Foxholes no

longer eject infantry units until the Foxholes are destroyed.

· Missile Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Health increased by 100%.

Range increased by 75%. Attack power vs. aircraft reduced by 25%.

· Engineer: Speed increased by 20%.

Turret turn rate and pitch rate increased, improving the Pitbull's

ability to fire on fast-moving aircraft.

· APC: Speed increased by 20%. Attack power vs. infantry reduced

by 25%. Turret turn rate and pitch rate increased, improving the

APC's ability to fire on fast-moving aircraft.

· Harvester: Attack power increased by 300%.

· Rig: Acceleration and deceleration times reduced, making the

unit more maneuverable. Battle Base Repair Drones changed to work

like all other Repair Drones.

· Mammoth Tank: Speed reduced by 7%. Attack power of rockets

reduced by 25%. Rate of fire with Railguns upgrade reduced by 35%

but attack power increased proportionally.

· Orca: Health increased by 50%.

· Firehawk: Now fires its missile loadout in volleys, improving

the Firehawk's ability to quickly damage groups of enemy aircraft.

· Ox Transport: Health increased by 70%.

· Sonic Emitter: No longer hits larger units multiple times in one

· Sharpshooter Team: Support Power cost increased by 40% to 3500.

· Zone Trooper Drop Pods: Support Power cost increased by 50% to

4500.

/Brotherhood of Nod Balance Changes/

· Militant Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Attack power increased

by 50%.

· Militant Rocket Squad: Speed increased by 20%. Health increased

by 100%. Range increased by 75%. Attack power vs. aircraft reduced

by 25%.

· Saboteur: Speed increased by 20%.

· Shadow Team: Health reduced by 50%.

· Black Hand: Speed increased by 22%. Health increased by 66%.

Attack power increased by 150%.

· Attack Bike: Removed 200% attack power bonus vs. aircraft.

Turret arc and turn rate increased, which allows the unit

to more-effectively attack any nearby targets while moving.

Directional armor removed, which makes the unit more resistant

to attacks from the flank and rear. Fixed an error that caused

the unit to not always fire both rockets at once, effectively

raising its attack power.

· Raider Buggy: Attack power vs. infantry reduced by 25%.

· Scorpion Tank: Attack power reduced by 20%. Rate of fire with

Laser Capacitors upgrade reduced by 20% but attack power increased

proportionally.

· Laser Capacitors: Upgrade cost increased by 50% to 3000.

· Tiberium Infusion: Upgrade cost increased by 300% to 2000.

· Cloaking Field: Support Power cost increased by 100% to 3000.

Attack power vs. light infantry increased by 600%. Attack power

vs. heavy infantry increased by 200%.

/Scrin Balance Changes/

at once.

· Disintegrators: Speed increased by 17%.

· Assimilator: Speed increased by 20%.

· Mastermind: Cost/buildtime increased by 66% to 2500/25. Recharge

time on Manipulator Device increased to 30 seconds. Teleport Units

ability now begins its cooldown period after units are teleported,

rather then when units are first selected for teleporting.

· Gun Walker: Acceleration and deceleration times reduced, making

the Gun Walker more maneuverable.

· Harvester: No longer spawns an Ion Storm when destroyed.

· Corrupter: Acceleration and deceleration times reduced, making

the Corrupter more maneuverable.

Ion Storm more quickly. Scrin aircraft now receive a 25% bonus to

attack power in addition to a 25% bonus to armor while in an Ion

Storm.

causes a faster, wider chain reaction. Damage sustained by the

Mothership has less impact on the power of its attack.

· The Swarm: Support Power cost increased by 50% to 1500.

This patch adds four new multiplayer maps, which may also be used

in Skirmish mode. Two out of four of these maps are enabled for

ranked competition online, and so will appear in the Automatch

map rotation.

/Map 1: Tournament Rift/

Red Zones such as this have long since become uninhabitable to any

of Earth's life forms, and yet serve as a focal point for the

conflict between the GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the Scrin,

in their continued efforts to gain control over the alien mineral.

This is a two-player map available for ranked matches.

/Map 2: Tournament Coastline/

As the spread of Tiberium inexorably continued across the world,

GDI and Nod forces found themselves frequently skirmishing for

control over strategic coastal regions such as this one. This is

a two-player desert map available for ranked matches.

/Map 3: Schlachtfeld Stuttgart/

The Scrin, desperate for Tiberium, savagely laid waste to this

once-proud German city in short order. Now fighting over the green

crystal continues in the city's ruined remains. This is a two-

player urban map available for unranked matches.

/Map 4: Coastline Chaos/

An extension of Tournament Coastline, this map is based on the

very first map used to publicly showcase Command & Conquer 3

Tiberium Wars at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo. This is

a four-player desert map available for unranked matches.

· Added a "Classic Command & Conquer (Left-Click Orders)" mouse

interface option, which may be selected in the General tab of

the Settings menu.

· Added the ability to cycle through multiple production

facilities of the same type either by clicking on the main tab

for that production category or tapping the respective hotkey.

· When placing production structures, players will now see

these structures' default rally point, which should help guide

base-building decisions near impassable terrain.

· The Reverse Move command for vehicles can now be given by

pressing and holding the hotkey (default 'D') as well as by

tapping the hotkey before each move order.

· The 'Show Healthbars' hotkey (default 'Ctrl' + '~') now toggles

on all healthbars with one tap. Tapping the hotkey again reverts

the effect.

· It is now possible to rebind the default hotkeys for camera

controls.

· Hotkeys for Telestrator features are now available for the

match Commentator. Visit the Hotkeys tab of Settings menu to

view the default hotkeys or change them.

· Various "slash commands" added to online multiplayer lobbies.

Type "/help" in an online lobby for a list of commands. To

expedite one-on-one chat, press Ctrl + Up Arrow or Ctrl + Down

Arrow to cycle through players with whom you have exchanged

private messages during your last session.

· Fixed an error that caused some players to unexpectedly see

the GDI campaign's alternate ending video instead of the

intended ending video.

· Fixed an error that prevented players from being able to place

certain structures as closely together as expected, which makes

it easier to find suitable building locations.

· Flying units can now be ordered to move onto terrain that is

impassable to ground units.

· On multi-monitor systems, the mouse cursor will no longer

unexpectedly move from the gameplay monitor to another

monitor as players scroll across the screen.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused computer-controlled

opponents to cease fighting after loading a saved Skirmish game.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused players to unexpectedly

select multiple control groups at once when rapidly switching

between control groups.

· The Attack Move order now works correctly if a target unit

is selected.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused units to not target

structures automatically when given an Assault Move order.

· Fixed a graphical error that caused production timers in the

Sidebar interface to "snap" to position when switching between

production queues.

· Added an EVA announcement for when an enemy Scrin Mastermind

enters the player's line of sight.

· Fixed an error that prevented players from using hotkeys to

change unit stances while units were moving.

· Tiberium Spikes now continue to provide a flow of resources

if damaged and then repaired.

· Several campaign cinematics now show up as expected in the

Transmission Log.

· Fixed an error that caused players to lose credits when

selling Refineries or Extractors under the control of a

Scrin Mastermind unit.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused GDI Ox Transports and

Nod Carryalls to become stuck and unselectable when ordered to

land next to edges of cliffs.

· Switching to and from low-power state now causes unit and

structure build times to update dynamically as intended.

Previously, production that started during low-power state

did not automatically speed up if power was restored.

· The mouse cursor now no longer suggests that air units can

be used to open Crates.

· Jumping to a unit group now moves the camera to the center

of the group, rather than the last unit added to the group.

· Nod defensive turret hubs now appear unstealthed when their

turrets fire while under the effects of the Disruption Tower.

· Computer-controlled players will no longer attempt to sell

the same structure multiple times when low on resources, which

caused a stream of zeros to appear onscreen.

· GDI APCs now will always move close enough to their targets

to ensure infantry units inside are within attack range.

· Fixed an error that sometimes caused walker unit death

animations to not play correctly.

· Scrin Stormriders are now affected by the player's handicap

setting in multiplayer matches.

· Maps with six starting positions now properly randomize

players' starting positions.

· The Nod nuclear missile can no longer be stopped after launch

if players power down the Temple of Nod.

· Nod Avatars will no longer retain their veterancy level when

they are destroyed and their husks are recovered.

· Nod Beam Cannons now gain their expected bonuses to attack

power from veterancy.

· Fixed a graphical error that sometimes caused Nod laser

defenses to appear as if they still were firing when powered

down or destroyed.

· Units created using Nod's Decoy Army support power will no

longer last indefinitely if the Nod Operations Center is

Nächster und wohl letzter Patch in C&C3 für Januar angekündigt bevor das neue Addon raus kommt.

Patch 1.10 will be released before Kanes Wrath ships in 2008 =)

Right now, the current plan is to coincide the next patch with the beginning of the next ladder season, so ideally a January time-frame.

If between now and then we find there are some emergency issues to fix, we will.

As of right now, Patch 1.09 is extremely young, its being recieved well, and its good to see healthy balance debating. I expect these debates to evolve as new strategies arise.

Its far too early to even consider a patch, there needs to be space and time to grow and we can't throw another wrench in to the ladder season either.

That is the current plan at the moment, its not set in stone, and again, if we deem something emergency (like an exploit), then we will fix it.

But as of right now, I do not have any patch 1.10 notes, just starting to feel out what you guys like and dislike.

Thanks,

APOC
