1.1 Patch Imminent
Posted 1 decade ago by Fortress Forever Team
Just a heads up that the 1.1 patch is about to come out - like tonight (Wednesday) PST or tomorrow morning (Thursday) PST.
We're planning to primarily release through CrosuS (click this text to go to the site) with torrents as well. CrosuS is similar to STEAM - here's a blurb from the site:
Through CrosuS you'll be able to easily update your 1.0 version of Fortress Forever to 1.1 by only downloading the files that have changed (and all with the click of one button).
DrEvil says:
We'll also have a full 1.1 .zip file (597 MB) and a 1.0->1.1 incremental .zip file (87.1 MB) available via .torrent from the start.
If you would like to host a mirror please let us know somehow.

CrosuS is a complete game management system. It provides a central download and update mechanism for an ever-expanding list of games and mods, plus it displays a browsable list of games along with screenshots, descriptions, user ratings and comments to help you find new things to play. In addition to the download features, CrosuS also contains a built-in IRC chat client to help find other players to talk to, it contains a news notification system to keep you updated on Isotx or game developments, and we're planning to host some game tournaments through CrosuS.
Our vision for CrosuS is for it to become a community-driven tool. We allow users add mods to CrosuS themselves so that content appears quickly, and reflects what the gaming community want, we're working on a matchmaking system to help schedule games, and we're working on integrating more of these items into the Hive website.
Through CrosuS you'll be able to easily update your 1.0 version of Fortress Forever to 1.1 by only downloading the files that have changed (and all with the click of one button).

Why are we using Crosus?
There is a lot to gain by having the ability to provide small incremental updates to the game, especially for a small team. Had we released 1.0 on CrosuS we could have been rolling out more frequent updates all this time. The 'release early and often' concept is very difficult to pull off on a small team. Alot of effort goes into just the packaging and uploading of distributable content, finding mirrors, etc. CrosuS saves time on the developer and user side.
We'll also have a full 1.1 .zip file (597 MB) and a 1.0->1.1 incremental .zip file (87.1 MB) available via .torrent from the start.
