1.02 Patch

[IainMcNeil]

Hi guys

we were hoping to have an update for you today but the compiler has refused all day to compile a release build. Very frustrating and the team are still trying to resolve it. As soon as we get it resolved we'll get you the update.

Sorry for the delay.

Sorry for the delay.

A patch is never late, nor is it early: it arrives precisely when the compiler means it to.

Keep up the good work!

[Schweinewitz]

Great news! Thanks for all the hard work!

[Kerensky]

Got some pretty good changes in there, once it's released I'll be happy to start diving into the details!

[Falke_MatrixForum]

Could we have the Change log to look over, while waiting on the Compiler ?

[Joubarbe]

Holy Compiler, may the grace of the Ecclesiarchy helps you to rise and shine !

[Aekar]

Maybe the Inquisition should be warned about this.

Sorry, I've been chided more than once about jumping the gun about this sort of thing.
Don't worry though, I'm sure it will be properly announced when the time is right. These things just take time, that's all.

We sometimes let our enthusiasm get the best of us.
But hey, I think it's pretty awesome we are so enthusiastic to begin with!

[sshnuke]

[FroBodine]

Come on Kerensky, give 'em up! Nobody will know. Iain barely even knows there is a forum.

[HatesYourFace]

Excited about the patch! Hope the editor gets fixed soon!

[JimmyC]

Thankyou for putting in the melee animation. Combat will now make so much more sense for new players picking up the game and also look a lot better for us experienced old timers who have been playing the game for 1 week now :p

Glad to see the Terminators get their Land Raider transports, as i'm sick of reading peoples complains about that (still in Act 1 myself so it isn't an issue yet).

[Jimperial]

This sounds like a fantastic patch, thanks for the quick release!

[bram1979]

Awesome changes but the editor remains the same?

[CiZerin]

What about Siege Trait? Will it works now?
