So you mean that first beta for graphic performacne fixes and official patch (or final) will include also other fixes ( FM, DM etc)?

I think people ( inculded me) are little confused about these things.

BlackSix, I realise we are like hungry dogs thrown a piece of meat and tearing it apart...but this could mean that there will be several beta patches preceding the official Steam update?

Beta 1 - graphics engine only
testing and corrections

Beta 2 - incorporating other work - sounds, FM tweaks, etc
testing and corrections

Official Steam update

6 months work - so it could be a MEGA patch. If so understandable they would want to introduce and test features separately

Sorry Thor, but I have plenty of time to waste - not too sure about the brain cells though...

Firstly, let me say I'm unlucky like all of you (the dev team as well for sure...)

but

this course of action is absolutely understandable (from my point of view and I'm a dev as well)


I guess they want to ensure that they have sorted out the graphics issues and then they can look after the other problems. Maybe things are already prepared...

Imagine: We put all together CTD fix, graphic performance, FM, DM, ... and then problems occurs. They/You/One will never ever be able to sort them out. So, it is not the best news, but I stay optimistic.

Have a nice weekend pilots and dev team!

yes, i agree that is a good way to proceed

but i really hope they have been identifying and resolving the other big problems in this important "major bug list" just provided, and have finished work on what is needed to include the elements that are missing (for ex coop functions). if instead all their other folks have been working on BoM aspects, that would be a major problem for all of us, we simply cant be expected to wait that long (or not have BoB omissions and problems fixed) !
