Any news about this?
I know that it was supposed to be internally checked today, but when is it supposed to become available?
Soon®
Patience, grasshopper. It'll be ready when it's ready.
Yes
But, just to be clear, I was not asking when it will be available, I know how this is an almost impossible request (Dev can answer only about one hour before putting it out, probably), just when it will be out if it pass the internal check.
To put it in another way, my question was: how much is the average time between a successful internal check and the public availability of a patch? Is a couple of days a rather accurate guess?
It's supposed to be submitted to QA this afternoon.
After that there are 3 possibilities:
1. It'll pass and it'll go up in the next 48 hours.
2. It'll fail and go back to Dev for fixing at which point you're talking a week.
3. It'll pass but with required fixes before it can be released at which point you're looking at 48 to 72 hours.
thx frogboy!
I make a bet on number 3.
But hope for Number 1.
1 and 3 are fine
Number 3 would be the most likley outcome in most development cycles. Lets just hope number 2 can be avoided. Number 1 would be great though of course.
So probably out Thursday e.g. normal patch day.
I'll take that bet Lantros---I will go with option 1
Frogboy, we will need confirmation to determine the winner. Any other takers.
Maybe not perhaps there will be 1.07.xx updates first. <grin>
Thanks for the info!
So far since the beta nothing has really come on time, its either early (beta 3c to 4 was a great suprise) or late so i wouldn't take the release dates of patches and updates too seriously. The last thing we need is the dev's rushing anything so i am happy to wait.
I'm actually waiting for 1.1 before i play a proper game again which i guess will be sometime in early october. Until then i'm just testing community & personal mods while getting use to the XML files so when the game is is a better state i can mess it up with some personal mods .
Got Syndicate Wars, Battle for Wesnoth and Elven Legacy Collection to tie me over until then.
It will come when it's the time to .
I understand that the dev team doesnt want 10000000 posts about fixing their patch just when it's out.

Wow that's an awesomely candid estimate!
Oh well maybe we will get 1.08 wensday night and It can tide me over till my civ 5 deluxe edition preload unlocks.
So if we carry the 1 and toss all the letters into a hat, we find out that it'll be out in an hour and angry mobs will appear in two.
Seriously though, thanks for the update. It's good to know the general timeframes we'll be looking at.
Will you let us know here if it passes or fails today?
It's in QA now.
My guess is that single player is going to pass, MP is going to require changes.
Thanxs frogboy on the status.
In that case, maybe save the MP for 1.09 if changes aren't ready this week?
Thanks for your answer!
This info will be useful also for for future patches
Good idea arstal, i w8 from 2 weeks on 1.08 with magic changes and else improvments and bug fixed. MP is not necessary in 1.08, i can w8 for it to next week, to next patch. But without changes i can't play.
Who does #2 work for?
No matter what, v1.08 is coming out this week. The question will be whether MP will be in it and if so, at what level.
The QA team and dev teams are playing it (and in fact, based on the yelling, I think they're playing a Dev vs. QA game).
...and thx agian. To get informed AND such internals .... its really enjoyable.
