Thank you very much for the tips and info.

You said Stronghold 3 was Not intended to have skirmish, o.k.
But why The hell you leave The Multiplayer unfinished and Full of Bugs.

Why you dont fix it anymore. I payed also for a Working multiplayer.
Seems you only listening Not Working anymore.

First off, it is understandable that you're upset... but no one has stopped working. Most companies, even after they say they are done, often have 1 or 2 more fixes they release after the fact to fix major bugs that went un-noticed or other fixes that were unable to be addressed in previous patches.

Second, with all the screams of there was suppose to be a skirmish/multiplayer mode I've read after release... I never once saw before hand or after where Firefly Studios claimed there was going to be this feature in the first place. I only saw it in the forums where fans were requesting it to be added but never any official reply to the requests.

No complex game or program is released finished, rule of fact with computer software. There will always be bugs, updates, fixes, and things added after a release has been done to any decent, complex program/game. With that in mind, enjoy pong and other simple basic programs that don't evolve and grow after release... most of us games call them dead or abandon ware.

I bought the game about six months ago and gave up on it, has there been enough fixs to make it worth while trying to reinstall the game and trying to play it. I dont play on line.

There has been quite a few fixes in the last 6 months. All I can say is install and try it. I have no issues with playing it other than a few off balances but no game is perfect. What is fun for me is learning how to compensate for the off balances and still win.

This is a statement from Lucifer Crow according my post in another topic
where i described my problems.

"Hi Agentbob81

The lags are not caused by your machines. This is a known issue in multiplayer that are reported by alot of people with high end PCs. Note that V1.10 is the last patch."

So looks like they are not working anymore.

where did you have that information from that 1.10 will be the last patch at all ?

It was first stated in the "Gold Edition on Steam" thread that this was the final planned patch.

Note the term "planned" is used. That means there is always room for another patch or two if an issue comes up or they want to throw a surprise carrot out for everyone to nibble on.

Not sure why you keep on bending over backwards trying to defend Firefly...and not even from the logical standpoints like most companies can only divert so much manpower to things that don't really produce revenue.

But congrats to you for getting a sense of fulfillment for being able to "overcome" the game. If that works for you, more power to ya.

But the game isn't done, period. And they have recognized issues which are as yet unresolved such as multiplayer being essentially unplayable.

They don't need to wait and see if something comes up for them to have something significant to fix. Its already there. And yet they don't plan on working on it.

So trying to find the silver lining by parsing words is just silly. They may throw a small patch or two out, but at the end of the day, the current state of the game is pretty much it.
