The patch is finally complete and in Colibri's hands. It's been tested on every computer the 3 of us could access, on every operating system from XP forward, and on various levels of processing and RAM power from junky little netbooks with 1gb ram up to the beastly systems we all use as primaries. And it works Coli has a few little things to do before it can be sent out live, but they're minor and shouldn't take too much time when he can spare it. He seemed excited by it, though, so hopefully it can go in quickly; and then V and I can really get started on developing our big new projects.
I'm so excited (and relieved) that it's finally done. You guys have noooo idea how many hours I put into it. My previous 400 hours estimate wasn't even half of it by the end.
Moved to the public forum so everyone else can hear the good news too
As of today, a few players have tested the patch files as well, and had no problems. We will likely contact several more players to test the patch files at some point before it is ready to go live, but so far everything is looking good.
If, when it's out, it doesn't work on my computer I will let you know. I run an old 2003 Dell Dimensions 2300 with only 256mb of ram. lol This old thing can't handle a lot, but It can handle UO just fine.
