Any date for CZ patch?

This is a patch for the performance probs ,caused by the german Publisher Morphicon with the copy protection Securom only.

This has imho nothing to do with BIS.

Now that sounds great to me, if this does what it promises i can start the campaign finally

Morphicon chose the copy protection, we implemented it, we made the patch, we released it to Morphicon, Morphicon host it.

This should answer your question

[charliereddog 9]

Quick Question, if the problem with the slow framerates etc is caused by the protection, why does this patch encompasse other fixes for AI and other optimizations? Doesn't this put the german release above the czech one?

[Placebo 29]

why does this patch encompasse other fixes for AI and other optimizations?

Because we were already working on a number of bugs and had been for some time so learning of the German performance issue simply brought forward the first planned patch release.

Doesn't this put the german release above the czech one?

Temporarily yes. As already posted in the Czech forum the Czech 1.01 will be released as soon as possible.

[zyklone 1]

1.01 seems to be much better performancewise.

Even the CZ version.

I can now run on 30FPS on very high which I didn't get on high before.
