DX11 patch 2.0? What happend to 1.4, 1.5 etc

**Megalos** · April 13, 2011, 07:11 AM

Well the official forums for shogun are saying, "more news on patch 2.0 to follow soon". So reading between the lines, I take that as the DX11 patch.

What worries me is the leap in builds. Are we now expecting a long wait for DX11? Or is this simply an internal thing, where CA have designated the DX11 patch a whole build up, because of it's complexity and changes?
What happened to all the other build from 1.4 to 1.9?

No whining please, there are other threads for that.

Link please .

And maybe from 1.4 to 1.9 were internal(private) release . Or anyway the features inside are so many that they have skipped 1.4 1.5 etc

I think Patch 2 could simply be a reference to "the second patch" after 1.3

Its not uncommon to pick a higher version number for major patches.

1.x is for hotfixes and only the minor version number is incremented
x.0 is for big changes containing not only fixes but also new stuff.

Also picking 2.0 as a version for the DX11 leaves room to release more hotfixes in between if necesary.

I can't see any indication that they actually use the "version" X.Y.Z scheme as it stayed at 1.0.0 after three patches (same in ETW actually).
The build number (currently 3327) seems to be the relevant information.

I think it's just internal jargon too..
But the problem is, you read between the lines. When you do that with CA posts you are setting yourself up for failure.
We read between the lines regarding so many other things, that turned out to be incorrect.
Only read the exact words CA writes, that is the only thing that applies. Anything else is just our imagination and hopes.

Because DX11 constitutes an entirely new release number imo.

I think you are seeking a problem here where there isn`t one. Small (or big changes) need a different version number, that`s all.

Everytime there appears a new hilarious topic one thinks It can not go worse and then comes somebody along and prooves : It can

You clearly didn't read the opening post. Try it next time.

Humble, I'm def not seeking problems either! Just trying to ascertain what is going on.

why stop at 1.9 when you can have 1.99 or 1.999 or 1.99999999?
