Thank You and Some Answers

[norb]

Thank you everyone for all the support. Our team is going through the questions and making sure that we address them. Hopefully we'll be able to respond to everyone, but until then I'll address a few that were brought to the forefront.

We know about the Fort occupy issue, it's fixed. It's my fault for it not getting in the release.

We know that your IP shows for MP. We've had it this way for years. Now on Steam not the best idea and luckily it will get changed in the next MP release. It will be all through the lobbies.

If you have some odd crashes and bugs that others are not having, please run the install again or check the integrity of your install. We've seen just a couple of these and have not been able to recreate them. The majority of the game has been solid for many years now.

We know you want Gettysburg, it's never been on Steam. Is that more important than fixing MP to be more solid?

Yes, we also know that you can use assets from the old game in the new. We promised that we would add no protection and we meant it. We will re-release everything with updates, so you can decide what you want to do at that point.

Personally I am really hungering for Gettysburg, even the old version. Lost my disc years ago but if MP is a priority for others than I can wait. I am enjoying the game but it just does not scratch my itch for the American Civil War.

Yes, add in Gettysburg, I don't care about MP.

[Raider]

No MP fixes should be #1 priority we can wait for Gettysburg. Thank you! We love the game no matter the content just want to easily experience with friends.

[FrogMan]

I think a multiplayer fix should be top of the list as it's an intrinsic part of the game. It makes sense to me to have all of the core parts of the game working before adding new content.
Love this game and really want to play it with my friends :)

Fixing multiplayer and adding the Napoleonic DLC should be first. Then Civil war stuff

[voltigeur]

Multiplayer improvements before Gettysburg please Norb! Thanks!

[NobitaNobiReal]

Good work on the release and im excited for the future of the project.

Also, i hope you guys release the sdk for the remaster soonish, along with a steam workshop.

Multiplayer

[Ives]

Multiplayer should be top priority to ensure it is smooth and enjoyable.

GETTYSBURG I need my union army crashing down on the traitors

[Lanzor_Roznal]

I say this as someone who ADORES SOW: Gettysburg, and prefer it far more to Waterloo. Please focus on multiplayer first. I think that will be the biggest seller in people buying the remastered edition, and once that is done, will make Gettysburg even greater once that is released.

[xposethedarkside]

As much as multiplayer means absolutely nothing to me, the vast majority of the community I think wants multiplayer first.
The big draw of this game is being able to play online with a bunch of people, playing from the saddle, talking only through courier messages while everything happens in real time. That's simply a draw that no other game can replicate, and SOW has it.

Right now I am organising a get together from my community to play SoWG Multiplayer because we cannot get SOWWRemaster to work whatsoever. So I would love to see multiplayer fixed as soon as possible because if I wanted to play SP I could bust out the old versions of the game but multiplayer...is a pain to set up atm :D So pls MP fix soon? <3

[Harag]

I know I don't have a mouse icon next to my name, but I will be buying this just like I've bought all the other SoW titles in the past, and even own 2015 of waterloo on steam :)

Anyway -- I would say you do the core project first get that right, e.g. MP functions Personally I would prefer gettysburg, but it makes more sense to get the core engine right then bolt on the extras(waterloo DLCs then gettysburg etc.), Don't spend time changing from one feature to another because then you will find that you will never have time for fixing MP or fixing important bugs,

Great work on this release guys.

MP fix is N°1 priority people can wait for gettysburg. Ive met a lot of people to play with and ive a lot of friends to play with as well. But everytime we get stuck doing internet wizardry to get a game going ... pls fix MP thank you for all your work
