Not every time and never on the first sortie, I have sent dumps and details to Ilya six months ago and got an answer they will look at it.
As it worked before that last patch I don't buy the argument that they had to do a six month rebuild of the graphics engine to fix it. Of course it would be possible to release an interim patch for it while doing the major rebuild. They just didn't care that the game that we have bought has been broken online for half a year... After defending the devs here since the release I have now reached the point where I'm fed up too after that comment that they would not do a Friday update as they are irritated that their customers are disappointed...

I don't think I follow your argument mazex. The past patch "* Drastically reworked graphic algorithms dealing with in-game color;"

That may have also introduced a memory leak (did anyone have crashes before that?) but I imagine it would take a lot of work to get back to what it was before the patch which, for some, was worse than we have now and would take up a lot of valuable forward looking dev effort. It may not even be possible. The complete graphics rebuild seems to be the only sensible way to go. We just have to wait for it.
And I think you know the devs do really care - its their future, their reputation and dare I suggest their wish that we should eventually be happy with their products. Mind you after some of the flak they've taken while they work on the solutions they could be just about as fed up as you are and see no point in telling us anything that isn't real News because they'll only get more flak for doing it.
Fridays message was "There's nothing new to report".
