Very true indeed, mainly because whatever they do it is sub standard.

All these months saying we wont release anything until its perfect and restores the community faith in the game.. and what do we get. An alpha patch. I think the only reason it is called alpha patch is they are incapable of anything else.

Alpha patch... its actually pretty funny. Looking at the history of this game from its 6 year delayed release to now its hard not to only come to one conclusion....

I know, try not to feel that way but i can no longer envisage the RC being different from the alpha/beta states we have had.
I still cant believe the whole graphics rewrite was only 276mb, maybe its only part of the re-write. Or maybe it was just pork pies again. Who knows.

All I wanted was the CTD, stutters and shimmering gone. I got nothing out of this patch. I mean if they fixed those things then we'd all realize the other problems are probably just around the corner. However, I find the patch worse than before patch.

I have thought for some time CoD is just a carrot on a stick to keep everyone trotting toward BoM.

What`s strange is that those are the same people that have been whining for a year now.

Roger that which leads me to belive it has more to do with thier PC than CoD

Ace, even though i don't want to, i'm becoming increasingly despondent now myself.

At some point potential has to be realised into actuality.

From my point of view, i could live with everything else if the fm's were good, but they seem to be going backwards

Don't get me wrong.. it is depressing that more of these folks can not get the CoD to work with thier systems.. That means less targets online which is bad for all of us.

But stop and remember.. This is a alpha/beta patch that 1C themselfs admited day one has issues (disabled feature) and they released it with the sole purpose of getting feedback from all the users to help them nail down the bugs faster! You know that thing alot of the whiners have been whining for.. And now they got thier chance to be part of the solution and all they way to do is sit back and pretend they didn't hear/read the part about this being an alpha/beta patch and want to pass judgement as if this was the final patch and 1C guarnteed that everything was fixxed!

In short..

What part of alpha/beta patch do these people not understand?

If you don't want to help out by reporting bugs.. than don't DL alpha/beta patches and WAIT for the FINAL patch

IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!

Well you should see how many times that has been said about IL2 Sturmovik in the past. It seems simple but obviously is not. Knowing the exact way the game code reacts to FM changes is the key to understanding why they never can get it right. Despite all the graphs and other data available.

I can assure you that in DM/FM field it will go back and forth if the sim keeps going.

Fair point, but how is it that 1C can't write software that runs equally well on recommended spec machines? Lots of other developers manage it quite well.

Beta patch it may be, but unfortunately it appears for most to be a step backwards. I am having more CTD now than I was was pre patch.
