Viking Conquest Update 1.03 (released)

[Frank]

UPDATE: This patch is now launched and pushed out via Steam. It is also available on the Viking Conquest Downloads Page[www.taleworlds.com] for the non-Steam version.

Happy New Year Vikings!

Hopefully you all had a nice time over the new year (if this happens to be the time you celebrate the new year), enjoyed the game sales and acted responsibly on new year's eve :)

Thank you for the continued reports on Viking Conquest. The team is still working hard to improve and patch the game as quickly and effectively as possible. We now have a candidate for 1.03 that we have begun to test ourselves. It contains a number of changes (listed below) and should go a long way towards improving performance, especially on the world map. You can find a full list of the changes below.

As usual, we'll leave this in beta for a short while and check for anything which might need resolving urgently before a full release. This is save compatible but obviously not as tested as a full release, so you opt in at your own risk. The patch is only available to Steam users while in beta.

Here are instructions for opting into the patch:

To select this, you need to right click on "Mount & Blade Warband" in your Library, select Properties, open the BETAS tab and enter "betapassword" then press Check Codes. Then select the beta from the dropdown menu. You may need to close and restart steam for the download to begin.

If you do try the patch out, please please report back on your experience (you have been great at this so far!) and that will help us to provide the most improvement with each new version. Thank you in advance and happy raiding!

Im not surprised people with 32 bit and xp are having problems time to upgrade people we are in the 21st century!!

Do not expect to run most games on that platform anymore especially if you have very low memory just forget it.

Taleworlds set the minimum system requirements for this DLC so that is the target minimum system for playability at minimum game settings. The requirements state Win XP and only 512MB of RAM as necessary. I have Win 7 and 4GB and still had memory issues at launch. They have made a lot of progress but they may still have a ways to go yet before they meet adequate performance on their own target system. They may have to work on adjusting the minimum settings to meet such a target. Revising the system requirements after the game has already been launched would be very bad and provoke a strong negative response from users so I hope they can avoid that.

How many games play well on minimum specs?

Hardly any that im aware of you always have to have more than minimum specs, and 4gb of ram is not enough to play the game without problems this i know for sure.

Ya, thanx for the tip..;)

It would be more helpful though if that was mentioned in system requirements...*BEFORE* one purchased it.....;)

If they did mention this Mordred that means alot of people would not buy it which is bad for business so they give out the old minimum specs routine knowing full well that it wont run smoothly on those mimimum specs.

Ahh, well, maybe not THAT exact message. Perhaps one clobbled together a fair-bit-more coherently. Although it is quite interesting, seeing as Emetofil is apparently a fish.

Can you imagine if you worked in an industry where you could produce a half finished product and get paid fully for it?
