Just as the game is starting to show up in stores, a patch has been released for Star Wars: Empire at War. The 20mb patch fixes a rather large amount of game issues that LucasArts' QA department apparently missed before the game went gold.

I find it to be awesome that they released a patch. Most developers would have waitied months (like EA has) before even thinking about fixing or updating balance issues. The pro activeness of the EAW team should be commended. If they can keep the support constant, that is defeinetly a winning team who cares about their game.

Anyone who says otherwise, either is just a hater regardless or doesn't play enough RTS games to appreciate good support.

What's with the negativity? Most games have a patch the day they hit shelves anymore.. This isn't new.

Look Mr. Bitter, that game you love so much by the company that you work for is already turning out to be in tip top shape!

Maybe you should go play some Battle for Middle Earth 2 while you wait for them to iron out all the bugs.

Yeah I don't like when I see a patch on/before release day. Stuff should be solid before it goes gold. When this happens I always wonder if they just pushed it out the door too early.

Still looking forward to this game though, space battles were kind of interesting, although I'm not sure I liked the ground battles.

You can't always assume that QA missed these issues. Non-crashing and critical bugs are often postponed for patches, like this one. Yet, these appear to be game-stopping issues.

No, I'm not a game tester.
