Patch 1.04 (June 20)

[MS IamPREZSTEVE]

Yet another new patch! A few bug fixes here. A big thank you to everyone who is continuing to report bugs on the forum.

Patch Notes[/b]

Error Logging

• We've added more detailed error logging into the game to help us fix issues resulting in crashes to desktop.

Background Image Scaling

• We've scaled down some of the background art (without losing quality), as we suspect people with graphics cards that barely meet the system requirements were struggling with this.

Twitch Integration Issues

• Fixes to support 260/480p streaming options.
  
• Letterboxing to maintain aspect ratio when playing in non-widescreen resolutions.

Windowed Mode

• Fixed an issue that resulted in the game client not entering windowed mode when unchecking the fullscreen option.
  
• Fixed the window bar being hidden in windowed mode at the highest resolution.

Updates are started automaitcally if you have it set to that.. usually is set to that normaly , but if you changed it, you can always restart the steam and it will update it self, or just go to library and click on the game, usually will update right there and then.

Lets hope for a decent next patch, this is madness

I don´t have used the multipart until yet, but the single-part works after the first patch more than fine. The game makes now the same fun, like in 2003!!! Proper idea to bring it back in this version!!!

This is extremely irritating.

I solve this issue by completely removing the folder "C:\Users\[userid]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations"
After relaunching the game, the folder will be recreated with a new profile and then no crash anymore after exiting the game.

I am getting the same thing, almost.

Mine says "could not create music loader"

Update patch install, I saw new pop-up window and message.
----------------------------------------------------------
BHG RTS run time FATAL
Could not create music performance: Class not registerd.

IGNORE/RETRY button is useless.


ADD and EDIT:

If I delete "dssl.dll" file in my STEAM RON folder, I can play game without sound and music. and I can't see error pop-up window.

multiplayer for this game is still shoddy has heck and the sync is still out-of-sync and laggy. I thought this was fixed in the 1.03 patch but apparently not and I see nothing about this HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE problem here either. This is the game killer problem and it is also the main reason why the game died off relatively quickly when it first released originally some years ago....

Great, now I have no option anymore to play in 100 Hz... please stop enforcing ANY non-desktop refresh rate!

This is what they need to fix if they want to keep making sales.
The game has huge potential. It's a shame to see it not reaching the levels of SC2 and LOL.

Oh well..

Why wasn't this (and other patch announcements) added to "News" (right click in Game Library - View News)? Only 1.02 is listed.
