German VS US Version

[Mogwai]

I have heard about an problem with playing German VS Us Version Online, thats could be a big problem becouse i'm from Germany and i've ordert the US Version ... -.-

[hybris]

What kind of problem have you heard about then?
Hard to discuss it without knowing what it is...

[Deathwing]

The problem I heard about was a sync error. It is said to occur everytime, when you want to play online against someone who has the other (German/ US) Version

[ForceCommander]

i have orderd it in english because the good syncro (german voices suck ^^)

I i think of the Draghenaut uhhhhhhhh scary :D

[Dranoel]

german voices suck ^^
:D
Quite a way to condemn the entirety of your population!

Well considering the game hasn't really gotten fully released I don't see how this can be verified, it may just be a bad rumor.

[Rayden]

I have heard such rumors about many games (even homeworld) and they were not true.

[ÜberJumper]

This rumour is true.

The wrong build was sent to manufacturing for Non-English Versions. There should be a patch shortly to correct it.

[Alpha_1]

Ouch!

Is that what happened with HW2? Someone is getting sloppy!

[mecha]

With homeworld 2 it was actually people trying to play with the no cd crack... Had us going for a bit though :)

With Dawn of War, yep, it sucks, patch soon though.

Wrong build...could happen, but the solution should be really easy: Just make a difference-patch. Or pls simply put the executible into your download area (in case only this file is different).
But PLEASE dont´t wait until you have a patch for all language-versions (including other fixes), because I am a kraut too and ordered the US version :hmm:

P.S.: I hope some work is underway for some protection versus possible "no fog of war" cheats. Something like Punkbuster or the server sending only position data of units, which you really can see (so no calculation of fog of war on clientside)

Wrong build...could happen

Are you kidding? This is embarassing. It´s like giving your thesis to your professor, realising later, that it wasn´t the right version. It´s a catastrophe & the software firms are wondering, why the costumers don´t buy their games. I don´t want to be rude, but this is beginner-mistake.

Nevertheless. Relic should have a patch on their page, as soon as the game hits stores!

Greetings! :banghead:

[Mogwai]

hm okay thanks for the info :)

[woeba]

Devs? Any news about the progress of the patch to fix the language-version-sync-error? :smash:
I iknow a lot of discussion about the next patch is going on, but a sticky with latest info about the patch would be nice.
And in case the patch takes longer than this week, PLS give us non-english-version people a quick patch to allow us to play online.

Best
woeba (US version, but living in Germany) :weep:

There will be information posted here, and on fan sites like Relicnews, when there's official information about any patches.
