Patch 1.2 is here!

[Ell1e]

Good birdie!
Hooray for Battle Dive with damage! It only took about two months of training but the Griffins have finally learned how to hit a target!

Other fixes I found:
Luck appears to be working. As in, more creatures die than the display showed.
Sun Riders' charge is working and the increased damage is displayed.

[Coldy]

Hurah! Stuff that should have been working since day one is fixed after more than 2 months

How lucky are we to have such passionate and caring developers...

Cheers UbiHole!

Oh, don't worry, I already found some problems as well, they haven't forgotten us. The spell shortcut list has pretty much gone insane in a "Why is my Ice Bolt spell showing the description for my racial ability and nothing happens when I click on it? Why did the description for Lightning change to the description for Heal, a spell I don't even have?" way. And the cursor keeps flickering during battle animations.

Does US get this patch before EU?

I started the launcher, and... nothing. Started the game, and... nothing. Version still 1.1.3, Imperial Gryphon battle dive still not doing anything.

Tried all options in the main menu and launcher, found absolutely no way to do any kind of update. Even replaced my modified .exe file (with the fix for the flickering mouse bug) back for the normal one, but that changed nothing.

I wanted to ask for help in a chat channel, but there were only four of those around; two Polish ones, a Czech one and a Spanish one. Heck, I would've been willing to try my hand at French or German, but I don't really speak any of those languages.

Edit: As an additional note, the twitter news feed in the launcher DOES throw me the message that "Patch 1.2 for Heroes 6 is now available. To get the patch, simply connect to the game and launch it". In a similar fashion, the en-GB site I'm linked to by pressing 'Homepage' does give me a newspost about how the patch is now out and how I should 'connect to the game and launch it' to apply it.

Edit 2: To all others with this problem, I found a fix on the o-boards. It's actually ridiculous borderline hilarious, but the H6 updater is bugged. Go into your game folder and run gu.exe. Turns out I've missed out on a minor patch or two so far too ^^

[Avonu]

Did you try to run gu.exe in game folder?

[Macros the Black]

o Sun Raider’s Charge not awarding damage increase

Ooh, that explains it. See I thought that creature was just worthless, but it's a bug apparently. Lol.

Edit:

o Tactics phase setup is now remembered from one battle to another.

Fuck yes!

Strangely, after seeing all the changes that are supposed to happen in 1.2 (luck works, the 25th anniversary now works on every in-game day I play, etc.), my game still shows version 1.1.1 on the bottom right of My Dynasty. Is it normal?

And when I ran gu.exe, I got a failed message that my game is not installed. Then automatically the game launches.

[Pol]

Positive.

AI is not so timid, perhaps faster. Graphic better, perhaps more demanding or it's an issue of new Catalyst driver (jumped from 11.7 straight to 11.12). Widgets icons do not scramble. Luck and units seems to be fixed.

Good for a start.

Edit:
@maltz
You should normally see version 1.2.0

What is that 25h anniversary you mention? ** Scratches head **

[maltz]

There is a "25 year anniversary" achievement that you get by playing 25 years of in-game days. That's... a lot of days.

Before patch 1.2, the counter only works when NO enemy faction is present. Now all days count. However, by finishing all campaigns once, you only get about 4 years...).

Version still 1.1.3 ---> What?? Was there ever such a version?
Mine was 1.1.1, never was 1.1.3...
