According to Raven Sofware programmer John Scott's
.plan
update, Soldier of Fortune, their Quake II engine title, is now in release-candidate
QA testing. Here's an excerpt from his full .plan update, which goes into far
more detail about all the stuff in the game than is listed here:
Soldier
of Fortune is now with Release QA. This means that we have eliminated all known
bugs found at Raven and by Activision's QAs around the world. Release QA verify
that we have fixed everything and go through a set list of criteria that the
game must pass. They also give the game a thorough QA pass making sure the regular
QA didn't miss anything. The lawyers also get the last chance to stick a spanner
in the works. If all goes well (which has never happened), this process will
take 5-7 days. It is most likely that they will come back with a few minor issues
and we'll have to start the process over again. If they found nothing, then
they wouldn't be doing their job :)
After Release QA give their OK, the duplicators and distributors take over....
Also on the CD comes the Heretic2 demo, the Battlezone2 demo, the Vampire trailer,
DirectX 7.0a, the monolithic
install of GLSetup, WONSwap and all the usual help files (quickstart guide,
manual, compatibility guide).
...This is all the versions of Sof (US, UK, french, German). In all non German
versions there is the option for English, American or french text, the German
version has only German. You will require a specific build for localized dialog.
All versions have the violence locked out for Germany and German speaking countries
(this includes Luxembourg, Austria Liechtenstein and Switzerland). Please direct
flames to the German government, not us, regarding this.
