Anybody playing this here? We bought the game a long time ago and stopped learning/playing it because it didn't work in a convincing way. I was lost in all the beta patches that came after and wanted to wait for the final and official patch turning this into a good and working WW2 strategy game. Dunno whether this update comes any closer to this than the patches before so any opinion on the current state of the game from someone who has played it continuously, is appreciated :)

I haven't played ToF "continuously" but I have yet to run across any of the crashes and errors reported by some at the Matrix forum.

I meant with 'continuously' playing the game with all the patches that came out so as to have an idea of what was improved over the course of time ;)

Ok, so no errors and crashes for you then - good. And what do you say about the game as such? AI any better and so on?

I am happy with the game and the updates are really great. I find that the game has improved a lot since release. Just installed the new patch and am playing as Germany...october 1939 and i am still working on Poland. Having fun.

I just installed the latest update so I don't have a definitive answer on the AI but so far it looks like it hasn't changed much - it still beats me.   :-\
