Only one of these 2 statements can be right,not both!

There is no doubt in my mind I will be flamed for saying this but i believe its the truth.
They have pulled this "stunt" many times before, graphic problems dont just pop up, they knew it was there and as per usual said all was ok, only to say at the last minute there was a problem and postpone the beta.

Any one who has spent any considerable time at this forum since release knows this has happened with almost every beta patch and proper patch too, leading to the reason why many people bitch and whine and cause issues.
My opinion is that anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial, the so called whiners were perfectly happy untill this ridiculous cycle of hype and letdown began.

The "finding problems during testing" stunt?

The initial release is loaded with bugs and a very dedicated group of people complain for the next year. They delay a patch release because they found bugs and the same group of people are complaining.

This thread is cracking me up.

I hope the professional complainers in here aren't expecting to be taken seriously.

Agree. Something don´t match well. By the last developers reports, it look like things were under control.

The only reason I see for not releasing the new patch, is that something really very wrong was found. And if so looks like things are not under control.

Do not mean that this Sim isn't good. I enjoy it very much, just hoping that it became more improved.

Anyway thanks for developers for not give up, and keep on trying.

Another analogy, re: final testing:
It's like when you are about to break wind. You think you are going to break wind. You hope you are going to break wind. But you can never be 100 percent sure of the outcome.

Nice anal-ogy. Let's hope it doesn't end with a "squeaker" when the wind finally breaks.

As one of the most thoroughly professional, you know whereof you speak.

You must bear this in mind.

True, the 6 years Oleg had to develop CLOD, plus the 2 Luthier has had have not been enough time to have a working product.
