After the problems brought about by Patch 1.1, for example the problem that certain people could not join any online games, I'm sure that many of you will be glad to hear that THQ has recently released Dawn of War Patch 1.2.
Those of you with 56k's you can grab the patch here.
Included in the patch are two new multiplayer maps and the usual fixes. Hopefully the issue brought about by the 1.1 patch regarding the joining of multiplayer games has been fixed, but that is unconfirmed. For those of you wishing to see the release notes, they can be found here
Quoted from Nidhogg (13 Dec):
"We're HOPING to get PBC for new customers up and running this week, with account upgrades coming soon(TM) after. I'll say "this is me putting my COTB to give you some information that may change so please don't kill me if Friday comes and PBC still isn't ready", but I know you'll still kill me anyway. Seriously, you have to accept that you can't have it both ways - we either give you information in advance with the risk that it might not go as planned, or we keep our mouths shut. I'm of the opinion that it's better to share. We really are trying for this week, I can't say fairer than that."
KK have just released 2 rendered screenshots of 2 new hacknet models.
First one is the new models for firstperson weapons inside of hacknet, the second one is a screenshot of what the new character models will look like inside hacknet.
The player models will differ accordingly to your gender and your factionloyalty (female/male - DOY/NC/neutral)
For more information and to view the screenshots, please visit the official themeweek forum here: http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?p=1712676#post1712676
There have been rumors that Neocron 1 accounts can only be transferred until the end of the year. This is not correct, Neocron 1 accounts will remain transferrable for a long time.
