When will the new version come out?

When it's ready, do you think Promod will owe you anything ?

Hi,

as already multiple times said:
It will take MONTHS to release a version which is merged with West Balkan DLC - so questions for a release date are useless.
It's ready when it's ready.

We will release a version for 1.49, but this version will be without West Balkan DLC merge.

Best regards,
bmwGTR

Clear answer. Yes, this is exactly what I was interested in, what will the next version contain for 1.49. Thanks!

When you cut out the sectors you still need to rebuild the connections to the other ProMods areas.

This is the current border between Macedonia (BLKW) and Greece (ProMods)

Thanks ScuL! This photo tells more than any words.
Yes, in addition, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria should be also matched to the DLC countries. Including Greece, it affects a total of 14 countries and at least 3 border crossings per neighboring country. This is heroic work

Some borders are faster because we can copy things from vanilla (the DLC). But not everywhere. It is a really big job to do this correctly.
Thank you for understanding.

That's not at all what you asked for, no hello in your message, which is the basis when you want to ask for something about a release or a development.

and this is the usual response from the Promods forum when someone just asks when the next release is !

People who get annoyed in the name of the devs are honestly equally annoying as people who keep asking for release dates.

Devs should just put a very visible signature text on top of the forum or specific threads with a text like "Release dates are not announced in advance, the new version will be released once it's finished, thanks for understanding" and end of story. Not everyone who is new here reads 20, 30 pages and not everyone knows that older users constantly see the same question, so there is no reason to be annoyed at new people who are fans of PM, who probably paid for the one file links in the past and who just want to know how the development is going on, which shows new people have an interest in the mod, which is good for both the devs and for the rest of us.

Yes this and true too but registered since 2021 I doubt that it is new, but well it is especially that it has already said and said since the release of the 1.48.5 how it will go this past , and we also have the habit of seeing PM replace their work with the DLC SCS before working again afterwards and this leave time .

and also the way it's asked for, often when you're new and you don't know it, you try to find out, you start your sentence with a hello, and would you have an approximate date of release, not a sentence about when it's coming out? Devs aren't machines and they're not paid to entertain us.
