UC: A World Apart Patch Glitch

3000AD sends along word on a glitch with the initial release of the version 1.00.03 auto-update for Universal Combat: A World Apart. Here's word on the problem, and the updated update, which does not iterate the game's version number:

Yesterday we released the v1.00.03 patch to the public via the in-game patch Updater. We have since discovered that an incorrect character asset was included in the original game distribution. This would cause one of the Instant Action scenarios (IA0113) which uses that asset, to fail upon loading.

To this end, we have re-issued this patch today and corrected this problem.

For those who have not yet updated their version, running the in-game Updater will download the new version.

For those who have already updated their version, the steps described in the v1.00.03 section of the recently updated version control file show how to force the Updater to re-download and re-apply the patch.

We apologize for this error. Hope you are enjoying the game as much as we enjoyed developing it.

Camaro's comment that we as consumers contribute to the gaming industry is dead on. If not for the customer, what would be the point of making games. If Derek wants to chase after a niche market of gamers/masochists, I say more power to him.

Can you imagine Adventure maestro Tim Schafer (former LucasArts' employee and man behind Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, and (half of) Day of the Tentacle) coming on this site and trolling his spit all over the place? Within a week gamers would spread the word that Tim's an asshole (which he's not). But even if that happened, gamers would forgive Mr. Schafer because his games are very cool. The problem with Derek is he IS an asshole and his "games" (albeit ONE) suck! And when his customers (god have mercy on their soul for spending their hard-earned money on his crap) have legitimate problems and seek out help on 3000AD's forums, Derek Smart basically smacks them up-side the head with a 2x4 and tells them to go "f" off. Derek Smart did this crap to himself. It started more than 10 years ago and it won't go away. Derek has a small avid following that continue to beta test his stuff month after month, year after year. The fact of the matter is the reason why these Derek Smart threads average 100 posts bashing Derek is we HATE him and his crap, and his game too! Okay I swear I'm passing over anything Blue posts with "3000 AD", "Derek Smart", and "Battlecruiser". Not worth the time anymore...

The most exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions.
