Countdown to Celebration

We're now just ONE WEEK from the CIC's 13th Birthday! I've seen the sneak-preview of what we have to share with you all, and it's absolutely astounding. You won't want to miss the big event on August 10! Join us in #Wingnut beginning at 7:00 PM Eastern US time (a Wednesday night, 4:00 pm Pacific and 11:00 pm GMT). We'll start with a countdown to the record-setting updates, and there will be prizes and trivia throughout the night. You can even RSVP via the Facebook Page. See you there!

Invaluable Insights Included Inside

Oggy was going through his Privateer 2 package, and he found a neat relic from the UK release. As the game was preparing to ship, a critical bug was found that prevented players from progressing through the story if they paid Hal Taffin in one of the earliest plot missions. The discs had already been pressed, so instead of rerunning the CDs, this handy hint sheet was printed to nudge players in the right direction. Fixing this bug delayed the release in the US, and ultimately the Privateer 2 patch resolved this issue.
