WAR patch 4.1.1 delayed until about...now

The latest beta patch for Warhammer Online, 4.1.1, was supposed to be applied to the servers this morning but was delayed for stability issues. In a few minutes GOA will be closing the servers to apply it, a procedure they think will take about one hour (my guess is at least three hours, we'll see who is right). The patch does include a couple of nice updates, including but not limited to...

- Performance and crashing errors fixed
- Improvements to RvR Itemization
- More loot from battlefield objectives and sieges
- The "unattackable mob"-bug is supposed to be fixed (a bug which annoyed the hell out of me in a PQ yesterday) and NPC behaviour has been improved in general
- Tweaks to various abilities and tactics
and
- Improved graphics options

That last point is the most interesting to me, since the game is not very pretty right now. These new improvements seems mostly aimed at high end machines, which I hope I will be able to actually use all the power from the quite powerful machine I'm sitting on. This time it seems like the texture loading will get some love, which is really needed - they load way too slow right now. Can I hope for some improvements to the drawing distance and the pop-ups which plagues the game right now as well?

Hopefully we'll find out one hour from now. Until then, go ahead and read the patch notes.
