[Lexmanbis]

We just got info that Slitherine will start making the installer now. So I hope we can test it soon and then GS 2.1 can be released

Thanks lookin forward to it!!

FYI --

Slitherine will start making the installer tomorrow. The final file set has been put in place; so those of you that have downloaded an earlier version may wish to grab this one.

GSv2.10 Pre-Installer Full File Set - May 30, 2012
305. Changed date in the Game.class file to 2012June01.
306. Disabled an obsolete low oil check and message. This significantly speeds up how fast units move; especially in the late game.
307. Added code so Airfields won’t change ownership if an air unit leaves the airfield if the core owner is conquered. This should take care of the situation with Keflavik that was reported
308. Changed Fortress or Garrison in unit name for UK garrison units to HG.
309. Changed Fortress un unit bame for Italian garrison units to Piazzaforte di
310. These changes means they can be upgraded to Para and won’t be considered to be SS units due to unit name fortress.
311. Altered the values slightly in Labs_bought.txt for some countries. E. g. Germany would get 2 naval labs + 2 general labs instead of 1 naval lab and 3 general labs in the latest scenarios. This was done because we earlier increased the research cost for subs.
312. Altered values slightly in Research_progress.txt so the 1944 progress level was more consistent with what it was in 1943. This was for the 3 air research areas.

Cool. Will the official release be compatible with ongoing GS 2.1 games?
Thanks!

[Peter Stauffenberg]

Yes provided you play with a game started with RC14 or later.

Do you have uninstall the beta GS2.1 before you use the installer?

For those who have played the 2.1 update, how is the AI for a single player game?

[Peter Stauffenberg]

No different from GS v2.0.

[robc04_1]

No different from GS v2.0.

Thanks for the reply.

To elaborate a little bit on Stauffenberg's response, the AI code itself was not changed but there were several changes made to make the computer opponent more challenging. Specifically some extra units are spawned to help toughen up the computer opponent and compensate for some AI weaknesses. It's better now in v2.1.

I was going to say I thought that it played differently.

Yet another thing to look forward to. Good job as always.

Since it is June 26th, I was wondering if we will see CEAW GS 2.1 anytime in the next few days?

I'd love to see the update released. Just bought the game and was holding off learning it. Figured might as well wait for 2.1. I'd ask for the earlier mentioned self-install instructions, but I'm on a Mac.

I'm on a Mac as well - been playing the game on and off for years but everything has gone silent interns of the 2.1 release since late May. Might be time to give up and play 2.0......

Dear Mac players - I got the Mac install link from <edited by rkr1958> Downloaded it and started playing within 5 minutes. Very smooth and easy install with no having to find where to place files. You can get the link from him and join the party!

Thanks General Buttercup. Will try that.

Hi All,

Guys, we are waiting on Slitherine to release the game. I do not have the bandwidth to start releasing the game. Besides it is only compatible with v2.10 . We are waiting for Slitherine to make the installer for the PC. So the 2 gentlemen that contacted me I will not release the game. This is a cross-platform game. Slitherine is going to handle this.

Please remove my email from your post. I do not want to be spamed.

Regards.

Dear Slitherine,

Could we get an ETA on the GS 2.1 release? I've tried emailing directly only to be told to post in the forum so here I go again.....

-Many thanks!

[blownapart]

where can I get 2.1? Thanks

[sagittaemacguy]

Unless you can get one of the beta testers to give you a link you have to wait for Slitherine to release v2.1. It was submitted 6 weeks ago to have the PC installer created but nothing has been seen since.....I'm in the same boat.
