Status of Patch_2.17 ?

Any estimated release date for the 2.17_Patch??

No hurry... just wondering if we could have a ballpark timeframe since DOM_3 is around the corner.

Thanks

Is there actually a 2.17 patch planned?

Johan indeed wrote that a couple of bugs were to be fixed in the next 2.17 patch, though it was several months ago (May or June, when I wrote the first draft of the Known Issues).

I thought they were fixed for DomIII. I doubt DomII will see a new patch. It might have been planned, but as you know, more Dev Diaries were planned as well...

Well I estimate DOM_3 will arrive during June_2006. I read about patch_2.17 and figured sometime this month or next month would be ideal.

Once DOM_3 arrives few will be playing DOM_2... unless DOM_3 is very unbalanced or buggy or bad new features.

If DOM_2 doesn't have anymore future patches because of DOM_3 development that's fine and I understand. Hope we hear some news no matter which way it goes.

It might be that some of the game engine improvements for Dom III might also be applied to Dom II, depending on how related both engines are... for example, if Illwinter thought about some good AI castle building algorithm, why not?

Theres always people who don't like to spend money, or simply can't afford to. And theres always a group that simply doesn't like change.
