Hello Zent,
Do you think I was sloppy when I used to fly with you in II/JG54?
We tested 4.09 for
months. None of us and external testers had the problem with those dll files. It's more a hardware (sound card) related issue than a software one related to IL-2 or even 4.09. And out of many thousands people who have downloaded the patch, only very small % has this problem. So how were we supposed to catch this one? We can't test every HW out there. No game developer can. So how do you relate this to DT not being responsible or detail oriented? The dll fix is out there and it's simple one. So use it please.
I think you had received an informed answer from other DT members before. Just try to understand it.

It shows no real sense of responsibility for the game at either Daidalos team and/or Maddox team. As we all know the devil is in the details, if an important technical part of the game is not working properly in the new "standard" installation it is not a trivial thing, its a major bug and should be adressed by a responsible developer.
Either a game is supported correctly and then it is necessary to research and solve such issues in a responsible manner. Or it is not supported and then there should be nothing such as an official patch, then 4.09m should be regarded as a Daidalos Mod or such.
I am used to live with SNAFU regarding Il2 since the mods came out, but really SNAFU kills the fun... endless incompatibilities, empty servers because this or that special mod is needed, a general splitting up of the online community in specialied fan groups of this or that mod. I had some hope for 4.09m to establish a new basic ground for us, but that casual manner of treating severe bugs makes me feel sceptic about this.
As a technical side note: dll problems may not be the problem for ALL non game start problems, but at least in my case they are clearly the responsible files. The new 4.09m dlls are listed with 372 Kb each, dating from 05.06.2007.
The old beta 4.09 are 304 and 348 kb from 04.09.2006...
I would be happy about an INFORMED answer to what problems this might cause and whether it will be solved or not or if it is no problem, even on crt=2 servers and such to run the old dlls.
Anyway, thx for the effort which goes into developping all this stuff.. but dont get sloppy...it would spoil all the great work..
