Announcement - Smoke patch plans

hello,

please find below our smoke patch plans for pes 2017 and 2018, these are the two active patches and we are looking into making them share the same database.











PES 2018 smoke patch X series:

Right now, the focus on the X series is to add teams and nationals, in the upcoming version X15 there will be more than 60 new teams added compared to the last version (X14).

Also expected next version are updated boots and balls and other graphics, but no changes is expected concerning stadiums or faces, we are working on a script to convert pes 2017 faces to 2018 but it is not confirmed yet as the system files has changed a lot in pes 2018.

It is important to mention that after installing the next full version X15, starting a new Master league is important because we assigned the original konami ID to the added teams and we deleted the fake teams, this means that in old ML the teams deleted will show errors and the new teams will not show, this is why this version is taking longer to be released so that this ID changes wont affect the ML saves that will be started with X15, if everything goes according to plan, the new patch will be released before the end of the month.






PES 2017 smoke patch series:

As you might already know, a lot of users are complaining about a crash in master league, most users do not see this error and it does not show in any of our tests, we are considering dropping the patch, instead we are planning to make a hybrid patch between 9.5 and the X patch, this means making a completely new patch that is based on the database of the X15 patch.

As a result of this, a lot of database will change specially players ID, this means if you are one of the people who used to manually add faces will need to adapt the files with the new database.

Using this shared database will remove any possibility of crash in master league or be a legend, as we are using a new method and scripts in pes 2018 that will be used for pes 2017 patch. this will also mean that updating roasters for the upcoming winter transfer will be applied to the whole database and will be applied to both versions at the same time.

We will announce the exact plan when it is confirmed, a beta version might be ready after the release of the 2018 X15 patch.





Happy Gaming
