Sorry guys, but this thread is spawning posts by victims of "doomsday syndrome" aka "The sky is falling!". It makes me chuckle and shake my head to both sides a few times seeing that the patch hasn't even been released, yet you're cluttering it with failmail and rants.
I won't comment on the game until I've tested the latest patch, once it's been fully released (2D clouds etc.). At least there's a hint that there will be a new patch in the near future. Perhaps the next major patch we get will be around the end of July, but maybe then they have hired a sound coder/programmer to write a basic sound engine from the bottom up, way more powerful than the one already ingame.
I remember a while back the studio had troubles with somebody in the team leaking videos before the game was released. I seem to remember this had rough consequences for the individual. Perhaps this is the soundguy? Maybe he got fired. I dunno and I won't speculate. Besides I fully understand they're not open to talk about personell and internal matters.
Either way, like many have said before, some people here needs to seriously chug down an ocean of patience, because this thing IS going to take time
As long as it gets to the end station, I'm happy!
