Have they explained what the patch was supposed to be for? Because they are planning to release it again from what I read.
Not surprising to see that this was a bug/mistake. I dont know why so many took this as being an intentional decision. Didnt it occur that it could be a mistake?
From what i know, they just said that it would fix minor bugs.
You know what? This bug has been persist since March 7th. People have reported this issue in the Steam forums and the news page, but it didn't reach SE. With this thread, the issue has finally surfaced and lots of outlets reported it, which finally reached SE.
Let's not ridicule consumers complaining about their game not working as intended and voicing their rights.
It's more the manner than the complaints themselves i was laughing at. I even brought up the fact that they got the job done themselves, myself. Although let's not pretend that era had anything to do with it
Its not about that. The guy explained in the post above you what its about. The way people present the complaint matters.
Sadly, you answered an user who only see a tree and not the forest behind it.
What manner? Toward SE, who has consistently didn't give a damn about supporting their games? Why should we respect them if they don't respect us?
Also, the fact is that there are several outlets reporting this issue after this thread was made, not before. And shortly after that, SE responded.
Good that the always online problem has been taken care of. But what about the mods not working anymore? Since SE plans to release a new version of that update later on, will it still screw over the modders?
Thread title is need of an update. The game has been reverted to 1.0.0, with a different patch 1.0.1 in development. The online-only thing was now pretty clearly a bug, as Square made it a point to address that particular bit in their news update.
Not surprised it was an error and said as much before, but I am surprised they are actually following up on it given their abysmal track record for patches.
They have been getting better at it overall, at least. Compare, e.g., the treatment Final Fantasy V/VI PC (2015) got vs. Chrono Trigger PC (2018): both were ports of their crappy mobile version, with numerous flaws like bad fonts/UI and visible seams between tiles. Chrono received a series of big patches to fix those issues, whereas FF5/6 were virtually abandoned on release. Generally it seems like they're at least dedicated to making sure their PC ports are more than afterthoughts now, even though there are some recent exceptions (i.e., Nier Automata's lack of patches).

Just saw that this got rolled back (didn't see the bumps to this thread, found about it on Reddit actually)
I think the ResetEra New Thread tweet for this thread reaching the top of a few subreddits + the review bombing got them to pay attention after ignoring Steam comments for weeks.
Mission accomplished, Era. Let's hope they can put out a bug-free patch when they re-release it.
