This thread has potential but unfortunately shows all the signs of becoming another flame fest.
Anyway, yes I think so far so good. The MP sound issue is the most critical of fixes at the moment, but we have been told to wait a few months for a complete rewriting of the code. Perhaps this is the best way.
Nobody knows the game code better than the devs, and if they think it neccessitates a complete overhaul, then there must be a good reason for it.
Frustrating for the online gamers for sure, but let's hope the wait will be worth it.
I'd like to see how this thread develops in the coming months.
