Clarification about what is posted on this forums and my gam

Post » Thu May 31, 2012 7:29 pm

Hello GStaff,

this message is pointed personally towards you, because I'm, again, very confused about the Patch 1.5.26 status. You said, I'll quote:

The most recent beta update, 1.5.26 is now live for all users.


BUG FIXES
  • Fixed issue with frequency of first person kill cameras
  • Underwater effects now display properly
  • Fixed crash when loading certain plugins
  • Fixed issue where sun would not appear properly after fast travel

My game says "1.5.26" without me participating in any Beta Test Patch. The 1.5.26 Patch got automatically downloaded yesterday, and since I'm not into any Beta Patch testing I assume it's a regular update, right? But why does your post from yesterday says it's still a Beta Patch?

I would really really appreciate some clarification about this, because I'm starting to get dizzy about all the 1.5.26 confusion. Beta or not, stable build or not, post about a beta patch that gets downloaded and installed like a regular patch...what are you guys doing with us?

The beta went live on 29.Mar.12. If you had not changed your Steam options to prevent the game from automatically receive updates, then it's only natural that your game would update once the update was officially released.

Be sure to check the pinned threads. This was announced http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1308295-steam-updates/page__view__findpost__p__20552280 as well as on the http://www.bethblog.com/2012/03/29/incremental-pc-update-live-on-steam/.

As said here (http://www.bethblog.com/2012/03/29/incremental-pc-update-live-on-steam/), the 1.5.26 patch has been released for all platforms ; that's why it was installed in your game. :)

It does not say it is beta, it does say that the lastest beta went live (meaning out of beta)...

That's where the confusion started. There's something like language barriers. I translated "went live" into "Beta Patch is online". How should I know that went live says "Out of Beta into regular Patch".

A simple "1.5.26 is no longer Beta and went live" would have started no confusion at all.

When he wrote that I don't think he considered the things that get lost in translation.
