Billy spotted a post on Planet Kingpin in turn taken from Kingpinpost, that sheds a little vague light on the status of the version 1.2 patch, said to be imminent in Ridah's last post to the Kingpin Beta Testing page on August 20 (story), Here's the update:

Just wanted to drop a quick note and give everyone an update on the current status of the patch. As reported on the beta page, the patch has gone final and is currently going through our QA department and official signoff. Assuming no problems turn up, and that we do not receive any additional updates from Ridah (Ryan Feltrin), the 1.2 final patch should hopefully be available for download from Interplay support sites within the next 1-2 days.
Thanks!
