1.1 Patch Imminent
Just a heads up that the 1.1 patch is about to come out - like tonight (Wednesday) PST or tomorrow morning (Thursday) PST.
We're planning to primarily release through CrosuS (click this text to go to the site) with torrents as well. CrosuS is similar to STEAM - here's a blurb from the site: Quote:
We'll also have a full 1.1 .zip file (597 MB) and a 1.0->1.1 incremental .zip file (87.1 MB) available via .torrent from the start. If you would like to host a mirror please let us know somehow.

Just to preempt the inevitable comments about installing a steam-like program for FF, I wanted to add that releasing FF on Steam isn't an option for us now. If Valve can work out the logistics for it you can bet that we will, but for now Crosus is the only steam-like freely usable service available to mods. In addition there is many mods and games on Crosus already so hopefully you can find more use out of it than just FF.
Why are we using Crosus? There is a lot to gain by having the ability to provide small incremental updates to the game, especially for a small team. Had we released 1.0 on Crosus we could have been rolling out more frequent updates all this time. The 'release early and often' concept is very difficult to pull off on a small team. Alot of effort goes into just the packaging and uploading of distributable content, finding mirrors, etc. Crosus saves time on the developer and user side. |

Yes, hopefully it works out and we can update users with incremental patches and content updates. It also has functionality to download and install 3rd party maps.

I can guarantee there will be a butt load of people flocking here tonight for the patch. Sadly, my old clan probably won't be convinced as they just switched to TF2...
Anywho, after the update goes through, can we get an official list of features/fixes that happened? |

Sweet. I'm excited for the patch, but it sounds like if this crosus system is used fully, all users will need to install and use it, which is a lot of hassle for people that are marginally interested in the mod. I just think it might reduce the playerbase of the mod, but the rapid updates would be nice...

Also I suggest binding a key to spam the release in game as well something like: Code:
bind KP_ENTER "say FF 1.1 finally released!!! Go to "random link" to download NOW!"
