Patch Status

Posted in Dawn of War by on April 14th, 2005

From Tranj…

We are looking into the problem that some ISP’s are having with Gamespy. We have been working closely with them over the last couple days trying to figure out not only where the problem is, but also on how to get it fixed as quickly as possible. We are also entering the final testing stages for the patch, and I would love to be able to give you a solid date on when it will be finished, but I still cannot. We have made a significant number of fixes, changes and added features, and they all need to be tested. I apologize that the patch is taking longer than anticipated.

The patch is still in the works.
