Good News Everyone! The free game I looked forward to and was so disappointed by this month, Ether One, is finally getting a patch. TODAY! The EU market has already had multiple patches but the US market has not had squat yet. It kind of makes sense though when you figure that the developers are located in the UK. I received a message from the developers themselves which states,
The patch for the US should be going out today which should fix any
issues people are experiencing. As you correctly mention, we patched
these issues quickly in Europe (most of them on day 1) however it took a
little longer to get our patch out in the US which we’re extremely sorry
about.
We weren’t actually aware of the issues as we’re receiving crash reports
which we’re unable to reproduce on our end. We’ve been active in
engaging the community and responding to everyone. We’ve got some
peoples save games who we’re experiencing a crash so that we could
reproduce it however we’re still unable to reproduce it even with the
save game. We’re going to make sure we get these issues fixed asap and
then submit a patch this weekend so that hopefully everything will be
fixed for next week.
It is true, even on public boards like Reddit they have been actively seeking inquiry with players to provide more information to their QA team. That shows a hell of a lot more initiative than a lot of developers today. In my previous review I said people should definitely get this game, which is still free this month, when the bugs are fixed. Well, the time has come my little friends to stop talking of other things and get to it. I really think this game will meet my expectations when it is fixed and it is a trophy hunters dream. Half a dozen gold trophies and a platinum? Nice.
