Mags has the patch. But as he is now on a bus to Mexico (why? I do not know) it may be months before we see it.
What I want to know is how he is able to post from that bus.

Ok, serious now. Has anyone REALLY heard something new on that patch for SFC3? I think its more than about time now that we finally get it, or at least an update how slow..... uhm fast Taldren works on it and when we can expect it.
Post by: Dan Hagerty on January 21, 2003, 06:16:26 pm
At this rate, I feel pretty confident we will have a patch out next week. That's not a guarantee, that's just my honest assessment.
Taldren's been working very hard, and they've fixed a lot of bugs.
We're all very anxious to get this out to you, but we want to make sure it is bulletproof.

Ooh, good question. We are currently testing the patch on all four versions of SFC (US, Best Buy US, UK, GM) and it's working quite well on all. Our plan is to release one patch, a worldwide patch, that will bring everyone up to the latest code base.
So, that's a long way of saying, "Yes, you will get a patch,too."

I broke down and bought the game and upgrading to DX9, as suggested by Taldren, didn't do squat as far as improving reliability. Why do we need 3 countdown/loading screens anyway? More points of failure?

i think what makes it even more annoying is that when you have a skirmish 2v2 or 3v3 or FFA with high amount of players etc. and it works its just soooo much fun once the authorities find out it will be made illegal.
on the odd occasions that it has worked the games usually are really close which you get less on D3, and its just so tense with 2 or 3 totally sh**ged up ships limping around frantically trying to get that 1 big volley in to finish other guy off before he does same to you.
