Do we have a firm date for the patch?

I've seen the 23rd for the DLC, and LH's blog about the update states:

"we’re currently aiming for this to be available approximately around the same time as the DLC. "

'Approximately' won't hack it, as grabbing DLC prior to the patch is pointless. Beginning to lose my teddy with LH, to be honest.

Has anyone seen a firm date for the patch/update?
 
Wasn't a planned patch? Please, they must have realised when they rushed this game out that they'd have to patch it (probably more than once).

The 23rd is all I have heard/read, though don't be surprised if it's a few days late.
 
I mean no disrespect, but **** 'relax'.

I paid money (of which I have very little) for this game, which is buggy and broken. The DLC sounds good, but we need the patch first. The game needs fixing - for me a restart at this point (Playthrough 6 glitched - Jasper/falling/Brightwall freezes) is pointless. My F3 disk is currently a coaster.

I paid $80 for this game, and I want it fixed. NOW. Had LH donated me this game for free, then, yeah, I'd relax.

So *sigh* I'll try again.....to repeat, does anyone have a firm date for the update/patch?

Personal opinion.

I see as it wasn't planned. They have to work on patching itself. But with more complaints and glitches than expected, more time was needed. Simple.

I too spent $80, but merely was the extra 20 was a choice.

NOW, you have paid for your $60 game, they are tending to your needs. The patch is being released. As said, going through certification, and with Microsoft, how exactly can you be exact.

The DLC was being fixed with the patch, now you can say, "Hey, they fixed DLC before the did the patch."

TWO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

Developers have different areas of work they are assigned. DLC was quite a simple fix as it was just a quest and some new add-ons.

The patch goes through-out the entire game to fix certain and specific issues.

Besides which, I get the feeling that the fact the game was release as buggy as it is is more to do with MS than LH
 
Agree - MS probably forced the release. No argument.

I also completely understand that DLC and patches are very different - I'm annoyed, not brain-dead. Thanks for the patronising post though. *sigh*.

The DLC was probably developed in parallel with the game itself. My argument is that adding DLC to the game, pre-patch, is pointless, and that the first firm date released should have been that of the patch. Currently, I could D/L Understone on the 23rd, but I'll still be stuck in midair somewhere and won't get to see it, though I'm sure the un-glitched few will tell me all about it. Not hugely useful or good for morale.

At this point, for me (and it seems many others), restarting prior to the patch is pointless. After the patch (we hope), we can get the DLC and restart with a bug-free game, Understone and a 5-star hound.

Thus, at the moment, a DLC release date is as much use to me as tits on a bull.

So, once again and with endless patience...does anyone have a firm date on the update/patch??
 
No dramas, mate.

Just need the bloody patch before Understone gets spoilered to death!
 
Here's hoping!

I desperately want to restart, in order to be able to fight the badness AND keep my promises (Not bothered to do this yet) but I have to wait for the patch, then get the DLC and then restart. Patience is failing. Sad, really as I saw no game-killing glitches until PT 6.

Now I'm stuck waiting, and 'it'll be out when it's ready' posts massively annoy me. Need a FIRM DATE. Not too much to ask.
 
Yeah.

And honestly you won't get a firm and set-in-stone answer. Lionhead only has a set estimated time. Microsoft is making sure it works for us. And when I hate repeating myself, when Microsoft gives the go ahead for Lionhead, it will be out.

Nope, the DLC has been perfectly working since the game launched, it was merely held back.
