Dark Messiah Patch on Wednesday?
After Robert 'Apache' Howarth of Voodoo Extreme complained about his <a href="/http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/742/742469 ... >stability problems with Dark Messiah</a>, he received a <a href="/http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/742/742488p1.html">message from Arkane Studios</a> asking him to delay his review until the release of the first patch. Howarth says the update could be available around Wednesday. On the official forum, Romain de Waubert de Genlis talks about a <a href="/http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... >temporary solution</a> to alleviate the multiplayer loading issues.
My copy of the game will be in my mailbox today if I'm lucky. I will post a quick review here in a few days.

Quite nice have a feeling they forgott something really important and that it will be included

It's not that bad, sometimes patches are ready even before the game boxes make it to the store.

Not complaining about normal bugs or anything like that... Far more important than that

I was going to buy DM this last weekend but guess I will hold off to buy DM since I have been reading so many problems on the ubi dm forum..
In the ubi dm forum this thread at:
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic/A word from the Producer
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 058694/p/1
romainwg (DM producer) had stated in one part, Quote:If you have a Nvidia 6 series: Strangely it seems that some Nvidia 6 series video cards (6800 ultra for instance) don’t work well on the latest drivers with DM. Reverting to older drivers 84.21 seems to fix that problem.Unquote:
Since I have a GeForece 6800GT, and reading this, than that really makes me leary to spend 60 bucks for a game I may not be able to play unless they fix this issue with the other issues they plan to fix.. I for sure don't want to install 'old' video drivers just to play one game especially since I have many other programs running on my newer drivers. sigh

DL I'm not sure what your angle is here. Are you
1) mad at Arkane/Ubisoft for releasing a game that wasn't ready.
or
2) praising Arkane for patch support?
Anyways, I'm curious to see Angelspit's review. I was playing Blade of Darkness over the weekend, Dark Messiah seems like a more advanced version of that.

Depends on what it fixes. If it's only a few minor but annoying glitches it's not a bad sign.MistWeaver wrote: I think, if first patch goes out that fast - its a bad sign

The point is that non-critical fixes do not requre such fast response. It been just a week.ThunderTitan wrote:Depends on what it fixes. If it's only a few minor but annoying glitches it's not a bad sign.MistWeaver wrote: I think, if first patch goes out that fast - its a bad sign
Furthermore they ask of review delay until patch is out. That means something too.
stefan.urlus - HV it took them really quite a while to get even the first patch out. Here they're being super-speedy.
Besides, depending on how the game was published they could have handed over 'gold' as directed by the Ubi team and then continued fixing glitches and stuff while the game was getting published. A few tips as to what's critical when the game actually comes out... and they're ready to patch.
Quite efficient I feel. Just a shame it may have missed the full optimisation and fixing in the first place.

Errr...No.Patches should come as quickly and as often as posible.Besides,its ubisoft that dictates the release date,not arkane.Yes,it is a bad thing to sell an unfinished game,but if you do,then you should fix it as soon as you can,and not let the customers strugle for month and a half.MistWeaver wrote: I think, if first patch goes out that fast - its a bad sign

I've heard the final game has many system problems and bugs and it's all in all not a very satisfying game, thus it's reviews (marks) are not very impresive, like 6.5/10 (Gamespot) or 7/10 (IGN) for instance...
I'll pass on this one...
