Man ohh man... and saga continues
How about summing it all up and call it a day...
Problems:
1) Code was hacked and .... tools released - Thanks QTim, man of his word!! Not!.
2) Everyone and his brother can stick their sticky fingers and make up things to their liking.
3) Online part of the community is upset.
4) Offline part of the community is excited.
5) Online part of the community is mad on offline part for being excited...
6) Everyone fights over their own POV.
7) 1C forum turned into battlefield.
I can go on and on based on the 100+ pages.. but as i said before.. there is only one solution for ALL the problems and there is absolutely no need to repeat the problems over and over..
Solution:
Reliable server side check for validity of the IL-2 installation.
Result - all problems will go away
If Oleg will not have time to produce this solution, someone else will. Have faith, the person that you arguing with might be the hot #$#it programmer that could make things happen, he could be the one that comes up with solution. So, lets wait till the final patch and take it from there.
