Well…

It’s there already, probably just waiting to be released by AS now…

Hm, odd, I thought they would announce the DATE of the next update, not the update itself?

Has been there forever.

I suspect it’s the bug we have for months (since Alpha/Beta). It displays “relaunch the game for update” for ever but there’s no update at all.

Post from Moderator about False Patch Rumor

This "Patch on the 27th"rumor has been addressed by the Forum Moderators on the 25th of August.

The 27th is when the Patch release date will be announced, not released. The Patch will NOT be released then. Do a search of the forums and you will find the posts where the mods addressed this false rumor.

It’s not the first time that the word “update” has been used and interpreted incorrectly, but the way that MS use it would perhaps best be described as a “briefing”.

So far, they have not used it to describe any change to the software, so it is very likely that tomorrow, especially with it being a Thursday and their regular day for such “updates”, there will not be any software changes.

As already said above, it will probably be used to announce when we can expect to see a software change.

That’s been like that for month’s. Something else that needs fixing.

Didn’t notice - i was not part of the A/B testing group, so wouldn’t have known.

No worries. Just wanted you and others to know, so we don’t get too excited.

Announcing that you’re gonna make an announcement about something is stupid, I’ve noticed this has crept into gaming devs culture in recent years. Like it’s a way to Hype it up, pretty pointless to me, just say “we’re gonna have an update on X of the month” and be done with it!

It’s a really bad habit that’s formed. Straightforward and on time communication is what is needed.

Here we go again. Asobo and Microsoft really needs some communication skills. Why announcing a date of the patch release date? Just release it when it is ready and don’t great a hype again for possibly some minor fixes.

if we’ve learned anything through this whole process, is ms/asobo loves to announce things. the development roadmap was basically a series of announcing when there would be announcements and most of those announcements were just advertisements.

Will there be a patch to remove all patch date announcements?! And will they announce that patch?

maybe on the next update… :joy: :joy: :joy:

ED have recently reduced the frequency of their releases, as the community was unhappy about insufficient testing.

I guess you can’t please everyone all of the time.

That is a fair point.
