Next patch should be bug fix only release

from Elemental Forums

Can I put in a request that the next patch is bug fix only? It would be nice to get the user interface improvements etc., however I think 1.4 was released a little early, causing problems with games hanging, which required early release of 1.5, which now appears to have issues of its own. Similarly the Dead DLC appears to have had a few issues. Much though I love the new features which have been introduced, I think most of us would prefer it if the game was more stable, and certainly it's going to put off new players if parts of the game are buggy. I haven't really had a chance to get a feel for the diplomacy changes, I like the idea but I have noticed some oddities (I'll write them up tonight if I have time). I really think we would benefit from getting a more stable base version before making any more significant changes.

I agree with merlinme.

(Having agreed with merlinme in the past I find I just can't stop now)

I cannot always agree to only bug fixes, since a bug fix might be a new interface button and thus it is a new feature and would have to wait for the next patch... but since they have to release the bug fixes with this patch it would be forever in a infinite cycle and destroy all future patches...

I do agree however that some polishing needs to happen with the current build. Maybe list some of the errors in a single thread for them to pick at again, so as to know exactly what bugs you feel are need to be fixed immediately.

One that I know of...

The DLC04 dead map needs to be updated still - It has bad rivers in the map (my map doesn't :) )

I'd agree.  Only been playing for a little while, but v 1.5 seems significantly less stable for me than v 1.4.  (2 CTDs in about 8 hours of play since installing 1.5, versus no CTDs in the previous 20+ hours of play)

I'd like to see a version 1.51 that fixes the summoning bug. It really nerfs the AI in battle when a powerful spellcaster elects to summon a unit but nothing happens.
