NEW PATCH ???... contact Atari please

Post by d00mh4mm3r »

If any here knows of any contacts in Atari, can you please tell them to let us use more objects (trains, buses, trucks etc... and bridges house's... etc)
in the new patch, and yes this topic does not have a poll, lol.
I know the likely hood of a patch is 5%, but if we all keep asking for one, maybe that could change it...
Shouldn't be too hard to just changed the numbers, that all we basicly want.

cheers

"We" want more then just those options. In addition we want bug fixes and the ability to add mods the game without violating the agreement. From what I understand those things are hardcoded into the game so it probably isnt as easy as "changing a number".

Also if it was that easy to contact them to push out a patch we would have done it September 15th.

Creating a holding With one name and then create subcompany`s:

e.g.:

Company for Trams and Metro`s and Lightrail
Company for aircraft etc.
With different colours just to make it nice :)

Lightrail <- Trains then can run on normal and Tramtracks. (With a proper, piece of track to accomplish that)

Option to make trains that can use OR Catenary OR 3rd Rail

the ability to compromise would be nice, it's annoying as hell when another company builds something like an elevated rr over the corner of where ur large airport would extend to :x

also, make them more conservative, it's really annoying when they build a tram track next to the road and and demolish half the buildings that you get passengers from :evil:

also, a climate designer would be nice as well

On the subject of silly AI.
I know this doesn't affect the planes but it is still rather annoying.

i agree that a patch would be very nice indeed, but the thought of it being illegal isn't very attractive.

Many game communties have realeased "un-offical" patches when they are prohibited under the EULA, and nobody cares, in the case of vampire:bloodlines, they where actually happy for it come out.

No one is going to get sued doing this, and it is safe to say ATARI doesn't care about this game anymore.

If it is possible to hack the program and after that still have to use the original disk to start the game, then Atari wouldn't care.
