Nice. updating right now. Good work guys

cool cant wait

some times the end turn button will turn yellow after you press it and not change back or actually end the turn, requiring you to quit and start again

nice work ML

I TRIED TO LOAD A SAVE WHERE I HAD CONTROL OF MOST OF THE WORLD. IT LOADED AS A SAVE WHERE I WAS BACK IN MY OLD BORDERS WITH A HUGE DEBT! WHATS GOING ON!

Warning....reset save games back to start date....you lose all progress, think twice about updating. Happened to me anyway

This is a remarkable update. I've just seen several things not even mentioned in the patch notes that are awesome. Well done guys, some great work.

Sounds great! Cant wait for the editor.

The only problem I have with all these updates is that when I start the editor, it requires me to "Update Content" and it takes hours upon hours upon hours to complete. Why can't I just download the patch, and then play the game?

Also, it's a chunky 400+mb download supposedly per content update and a 1gb install... seriously?

Btw. my internet connection (now at least) is around 150kbps. Which means 400mb takes around 2 or sometimes 3 hours.

yeah there's a save game issue. it resets or something.

I know everybody is excited with this new release but check this out guys, MH Gold is not dead! It's undead!

The content update failed, again. What's going on?

It's excellent, but Japan's capital is Tokyo, not Yokohama. What you switch to the trade view and select a nation trading with Japan, the arrows point and come from Yokohama. Keep the updates coming!

Well, after the update I tried to play a saved game. I was on turn 490, but it put me back to turn 200. I was upset, but figured, why not, let's just keep playing and see what happens. Everything seemed ok, but I started to notice that the Autosaves kept saying "autosave failed". So I then tried to manually save my game at like 231. It also failed. So, I exited the game to try to load any saved game again, but, everytime I started the launcher it wouldn't even load. I restarted my computer and tried to load the game but nothing happened. I was forced to unistall the game and redownload the entire game from the link. After downloading and installing, the game did work.

"Major update to liberation behavior"

Thank you ML, been waiting for this one!

Right... I've got a big problem with this game now - it started from message: Autosave Failed. So I tried to save it manually. But even then I got a message: Save Failed. So I exited game. But when I tried to launch it again it didn't (launch). So I restarted computer and tried it again, alas, with this same result - Game didn't launch... Why? Anyone having this same problem?

Like some others here I am having the same problem with the latest patch and suffered the same with last weeks. I had to completely reinstall last week which was a pain. I don't want to have to do the same again as this completely ruins the game. Let's have some answers please

If anyone who has experienced a save error was running with dbgView please send us the log. We haven't been able to reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the update! I don't know what these people talk about, everytime there is a patch, they'll QQ about something, only the "first patches" couldn't manage "old" saves, and you mentioned that, so it wasn't an surprise. but now after this patch it just works like a charm, i could load all my old saves, and the autosave worked as well.

so i don't know what kind of computer or just really bad luck you have with this game.

Anyway, i love this update, even more things to boost up you economy. and the new liberation update is just great.

Keep up the good work!

My update worked just fine. I just didn't tried to play save games yet.

And I didnt play the saved games. I started the new one but when playing I couldn't save the game (after 40 turns). And when I restarted the game it didnt want to even launch later... So looks like I'm stuck...

I bean the update process but it failed on loading one of the code components in the initial passes of the update. It asked me, as installers often do, if i wanted to just skip that component or cancel. I canceled expecting the entire install sequence to back off. Instead, when i started the game it began the endless load of new media and only when complete did the installer notice that the update had failed long before and let me relaunch the 1.14 and everything was fine. Until i launched again and it automatically reloaded all the media again before it noticed that the update was not valid. So, the good news is that I did not loose any saved games. The bad news is that starting the game now takes 10 minutes - and I am on a load P7 intel machine. This problem is clearing in the installer script - it does not back out properly if a person cancels an update.

Also, from the perspective of debugging releases, the known incompatibility with the saved game format from before and in the new update should have been a clue that there were bugs i the save game processes. When you add something as substantial as a new save game format and there is a hint of trouble you should do serious regression testing until you have a really solid piece of code. Major changes that have a fundamental impact, potentially, on game play should get tested very seriously before they are installed in a release, imho.

But I am so enjoying the game!

Finally managed to get the update, lost my original saved game- regressed to an earlier saved game, played a bit, auto save failed, manual save failed, came out of the game, now game won't even restart. What's the point of these updates if al they do is b****er everything up. I presume the only solution is to reinstall and start all over again unless someone knows better. Come on Muzzy Lane- help me!!!

@Petecarty, i would wait for an Patch Fix instead for reinstalling the game.

Please do more rigorous testing of game critical elements like the installer and the save game function before releasing an update. Unlike marketing driven release dates, where the financial need of the firm can trump having a clean release, these weekly releases are not like that. You can test elements of a new release independently and there is no need to rush things like an improved save function out so quickly. The key to this is that so many people had the problem but in your original reactions to peoples concerns you had not yet been able to replicate the bug. That means that your testing environment is very different than the environments in the wild. The problems with the installer also indicate that yo uare not TRYING to make it fail enough - an explicit test in your pre-release process should involve stopping the install midway and assuring that the person can easily revert to the earlier version.

@tmressler: it's from the biggest city, not always the capital, if there are multiple cities of the same size and are all the largest, it will select a random one.

@TehBoss - Not sure where you are getting your updates from or how often you are getting them but my update was around 87 MB. I don't think it's Muzzy Lane's fault that you have a slow internet connection. Editor? Do you have a beta installed?

@ML - Just to let ya'll know no issues with the patch here and good work getting another update out. But like the others I'd rather see a good fully QA'd update that takes a week or so longer to get than to see all these problems from folks.

just got the game and love it

Will there be a hot fix to remedy the issues some of us are having with not being able to save and then not being able to open the game al together, if there is i don't wanna reinstall all over again like i did with the last update.

Finally there is fine progress in AI. Nations are building advanced unit. -Cottage factory issue is still not solved. AI builds cottage factories also in 60+ IPU cities. -Another thing is that AI doesn't build research centers. This patch finally makes the game playable :)

FAILED TO DOWNLOAD WTF.

WHY CANT WE JUST DOWNLOAD THE PATCH 1ST THAN INSTALL IT IT WILL BE FASTER.

SINCE I BOUGHT MH2 I HAVE ONLY DOWNLOADED 1 PATCH. BECAUSE IT TAKES TOO LONG

no, it wont be faster... though i would like that so you don't have to download it again, if you have to reinstall the game.

oh and get a better ISP with faster connection.

Actually Jaro98, playing as Japan I have seen Manchuria first buiding infantry, instead of spamming militia, and also they did build universities and research centers. Even though they do seem to build cottage factories here and again, I have also seen them build mechanized factories. I have been very happy with the AI on normal difficulty.

@Snapjaw

I have seen that as well, the AI is really improved. I played as Spain, and i had my eyes on some Mideastern settlements for colonies and i saw Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and also Quatar! had research centers, and the larger countries had both mechanized and large factories, really interesting.

It appears the game isn't opening the save you select when you go to load an old game onto 1.015. I'll run debug and send the file.

@uthos

By the way, great nickname. Anyways, I am really like this patch so far. Usually, as Japan I wait until about turn 500 and build 10 of my best tanks and take all of China with no problem. So, this time I pretty much went with the same plan, and built up and put my troops on the border of China. I am just about to declare war when I notice a few more troops not too far away from the front line. Not only were they tanks, but they were almost 40 of them, with a strength of almost 6000 attack! That is BY FAR the biggest army I have ever seen China have. Sure, I just started building Main Battle Tank I's now, but they still have heavy tanks. I am very impressed with the AI improvements! Let's see what happens now! Thanks Muzzy!

Well, everything had been going great playing this version, until... I had all sorts of problems with upgrading, so I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game from the download link. From that point everything seemed fine. I was able to play for the last few days, over and over, in a single player game and saved games worked fine, too. I have a game now up to turn 591 and things are playing great. However, I have a friend with the game come over to play a LAN multiplayer game. We wanted to test out the multiplayer save/load game issue to see if we could start playing a real game. We started up fine and played to turn 15, then I saved the game as the host. No problem there, so we exited out hoping that we could load our game. Well, one MAJOR issue now... the Game itself doesn't even load... I click on the direct exe file to start to game and still the game never even starts. WHAT DO I DO NOW??? I can't even get the first screen to even load so that I could run the verifier. The MH2 launcher never even runs at all, even though I have been playing for days and started and stopped many many games during that time. I do NOT want to uninstall and lose all of my saves, yet, I thought about reinstalling over my current installation, but it says it will effect my saved games then too. WHAT HAPPENS NOW??? Hard to play if the game never even loads...

i have played a couple of the games and had no problem untell now. for some reason i cant continue the game once i get to turn 286. the end turn button just turns yellow and stays yellow. also i cant save wen i get to turn 286. is this a bug. and does anyone else have this problem.

@ snapjaw- what happens now? I think you will have to wait like most of us for 1.0.16 ;)...

r u guys also seeing like 4 divisions in an army having the same name. Its nothing big just wondering if you guys are having the same problem

@snapjaw

Yes, AI is improved. But I was able to make 84 000 attack points as China to 500 turn and 260 000 as USSR... AI needs to build his factories bit more effective and research advanced units faster and it will be fine... at least with 10-hard difficulty...

Nooooooooooooo, my game with France is ruined! I conquered Germany, but now it's all lost! Why did the patch have to revert my save games? Apart from that the changes are awesome.

Wgat else is new but not mentioned innupdate log

Why is no-one from the company responding to this thread? Seems like they like community fine when it comes to providing free testing and gameplay support that should have been paid for by the company while being non-responsive to to complaints about the effects of such poor release testing.

@chrispino, I dont know how long you have owned MH II but the Devs most certainly HAVE been responding, a lot more then other companies would actually.

We're working on a fix for all reported issues in this thread right now, sorry about the lack of response.

@chrispino - Sorry for not responding sooner. We have figured out what is going on with the wrong saves and the game not starting - it was a bug in updating 1.0.14 saves to 1.0.15. We are working on a patch that will just be the launcher -- no game content update required. We will get it out ASAP.

A fix would be great... but one small problem. Since the launcher never loads, how will I be able to update with a fix? Maybe we will need an option to download just the patch to run seperately or some other option.

@snapjaw -- You look like you are having a slightly different problem -- check your email for a work around.

@dave - You were right Dave, I had a invalid character in my saved game name. Editing the file worked.

@dave - sorry for being inpatient - maybe you should change your release schedule so that you release on a Monday so you are fully staffed to catch in the incoming following the release - and do please debug your installer so that an install that is canceled for any reason backs out whatever it had started to install

I agree that Monday releases are a great idea!

PLEASE! Tell me why the content update keeps failing? WHY!

How do I fix it?

My liberation screen is screwy. It has minorities that already have been liberated, and doesn;t liberate new ones, when I click liberate nothing happens.

Adil3tr have you treid restarting your computer because i had the same problem and then that fixed it also do u hav spyware because i ran that on mine befor restarting and found 1 infection that could hav been the reason

My update is failing also .. and I cannot continue my game because all the country selections have disappeared .. any advice please?

PS: I have run virus/malware sweeps and restarted my PC twice

Thx

@Thor67 - Is it the game content update that is failing? Have you successfully updated in the past?

I had some trouble with content updates between 1.0.13 and 1.0.15 because I hit ESC during the 1.0.14 update process, causing it to fail every try thereafter. It works now since I verified the files when 1.0.15 came out, though.

@Dave - yes, it is failing when updating - it did fail to install a few days ago, but seemed to work ok today, then failed when trying to update after install... I have installed/updated all previous updates successfully

@Thor67 - Have you tried running "Verify Game Content" from the options page?

@Dave - Thx man, that worked :) ... I can get back to satisfying my megalomaniac tendencies now ..

Keep up the great work

UTHOS I HAVE PROBABLY GOT A FASTER CONNECTION THAN YOU, 25MB A SEC SO SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH.
