Will the bottom of the oceans be solid?

plain awesome news btw, cant wait for that new version

[ATP]

Yeah, it will be solid.

[JL]

Will there be any map-changes in version 1.2?

or in other words: will replays from 1.1 work perfectly fine in 1.2?

and also: any news on 1.2?

[LiveLife]

Tons of map fixes will be included, the ferry is gone, some small changes here and there, the implementation of interiors, shops and so on, there are indeed quite a few changes, yes. Regarding the replays, let's say i'm not 100% sure .. but i highly doubt that old replays are gonna work with version 1.2, because so much has been renewed from scratch in the backround systems (IDs, scm, et cetera). News .. not yet, but they will come.

Replays from United 1.1 will definitely not work in United 1.2, there are to many technical changes...

Stage 2 – Silver Status

For the second last time we report here today about the development status of our beloved modification GTA United 1.2 - and officially announce with pride that we reached the Silver Status! Version 1.2 is hence almost finished and it now goes to the very last, final phase. Let's first take a look again at our overview, with which we want to illustrate the finalization of our modification.


Stage 1 – Bronze Status

• Forecourt to completion
  
• Basic background work has been completed. There have also been included a very large number of improvements and innovations in the modification.
  
• The map is finished, at least as good as.

Stage 2 – Silver Status

• Version 1.2 is nearly completed. From this point on, last-minute changes are made if it's absolutely inevitable, from here on the the last major test phase begins.
  
• With the silver status the official and effective promotion of version 1.2 begins.

Stage 3 – Gold Status

• 100 %, Completion.
• The development of the modification GTA United 1.2 is completed.
• Announcement of the release date.

Without wasting many words, we want to keep it at that today. We look back on years of intensive work, where we had many obstacles to overcome, developed concepts and realizations. We look back on a time that has not been without problems, where we had to solve team-internal disputes, a time when we had always to affirm ourselves, where we had to show "We are still alive!" .. but also a time in which we have worked with joy at the new version. The progress came, step by step, and there are few things more beautiful than to see how the own work slowly takes shape. The support we have received here was absolutely necessary for survival, no doubt, because without motivation, such a modification can not be realized. For this diverse motivation - we thank you all. The more we look forward to finally set this modification in not too long time free and to find the conclusion. The best comes in the end. And thus remains only to say that we are continue counting on your help and support!

Until Gold Status message of the GTA San Andreas modification "GTA United 1.2".

Gold Status and Release Date
- Here we come!

[Herrarge]

Great news! Can't wait for the final release.

[LiveLife]

We have to thank you Herrage. You are one a few guys who helped us on a few last things (fixes regarding graffiti & loadscreen) so that we were able to pusblish this news now.  We will show our gratitude within the mod itself.

[LiveLife]

Do you know that feeling .. you have a hobby that you can fully enjoy, in which it doesn't matter what time of day it is, it's fun and you will simply not get tired to pursue this hobby? And this kind of hobby is also one, which can bind you many years, which can motivate you many years and also which doesn't let you doubt over the years that what you're doing is a great thing, one thing that is worth it performing. In such hobbies it then also doesn't matter if it takes a long time until you see any progress, until you see a possible outcome, because there are only two things that are important to you: on one hand the goal taken alone and on the other hand the way to achieve this very goal itself. The GTA San Andreas modification "GTA United", the development of the brand new version 1.2, have been such a hobby for us as developers, it took us many years working away, granted many great moments and ultimately means a lot to us, aswell. To drive up this modification to it's utmost, to realize the diverse wishes and demands to the modification, to get out the absolute best out of United and ourselves, that has always been our goal, our motivation. One goal of this magnitude can not be achieved alone, a team which is characterized by different skills and so supports itself is therefore of vital importance and so we got to know lots of people over the years who supported us in their own unique way. Is it that they have worked effectively on the modification or that they told us about bugs in previous versions of the modification, which we wanted then to patch aswell. Thus, many contributed their own part to our current position and for that we would like to sincerely thank you from the entire team of GTA United, without this assistance would not have been realized much.

Gold Status

After over six years of development, when the first work was started regarding our two original modifications VC2SA and LC2SA, we now, here and today come to the final point, which we have all longed for exceedingly. We demanded a lot of patience of ourselves as well as of the fans of our modification, that we are of absolutely clear - but we can only say that it has been confirmed: good things take time. Hereby we officially announce and full of joy that the GTA San Andreas modification "GTA United 1.2" has reached it's Gold Status! The development of version 1.2 is now completed to 100%, we are ready now to release GTA United 1.2! To celebrate, we have released a small selection of very special pictures for you right now. We hope that they make you want more. 

At this point there is now, of course, to clarify one last important issue. It is, in principle, the question of questions, which we have faced over the years, understandably. Besides all the new content, fixes and improvements that have been incorporated into the modification and over which we also have subsequently reported repeatedly, we were always asked a special question, a question we could not really answer for a long time - because we ultimately didn't know it ourselves, because the development of such a modification such as ours is poorly predictable. And so it happened for a certain period of time that we have simply responded with the famous phrase "when it's done" because this phrase expressed to us exactly what it means. A job where you put into it a lot of time and effort should then finish when it really is and not just if everything is still in a preliminary state, where half of the content is not working as it should. The point is - the uncertainty comes now finally to an end! The question, of when our modification, when GTA United 1.2 will be released, we are now finally able to answer! The day, on which GTA United 1.2 will be released, is:

Release Date
16th of December 2012 - 16 o'clock CET
15 o'clock UTC

Now it's out, in 4 days the grand finale is reached! It was a journey that has made us have a lot of fun and we are very satisfied and happy with what we have achieved. There have been incorporated many changes in the modification that will have a catch on the ones, maybe a little less partially on the other .. but this is the way things go, because tastes are different. Nevertheless, we are really confident that the vast majority will be well received and really anyone can and will have a lot of fun with GTA United 1.2. The old feeling of the games GTA III and GTA Vice City combined, and spiced up with the engine of GTA San Andreas, this is something unique, from the idea to its practical realization. We remain here and we hope that many of you will be there when we start our last final and big show. See you then! Help us! Support us!
