Personally I wish they would release the patch, the game is currently still in Alpha state for me, I cant play what i want to play for more than 20-30 minutes without a total crash, apparently this has been fixed, I would take that right now just so i can play the game i purchased all that time ago. It would be a step forward it would take the game from Alpha to a working beta. Simples.
Do I buy into all this last minute glitch BS, no.
