Well Doggles, I guesss it's like when you need to pee and just wait for it and wait for it (more recoil you know).
If the yellow team would have put out continous small patches people wouldn't expect the one ring to rule them all.

Kudos to them though to keep on rocking.

The analogy is a bit distressing... but I think you'll find the smaller patches (fixes) you're whinging about have already been put out - internally, and matched against other smaller patches (fixes), which is where it just might have been discovered that some of the earlier small patches (fixes) have actually been broken by other smaller patches (fixes)... and so the story goes.

much better to have many of the smaller patches (fixes) developed, tested, tested again and again (for consistency) and any tweaks made internally, to the best of the developer's criteria and then run a closed beta just to make sure that all of the combined smaller patches (fixes) actually perform as expected.
In this way, in Beta, some other items may come up which need to have a smaller patch( fix) applied and then tested and tested again and a again, just to make sure nothing else broke in the process.

Then, when the developer feels that after internal and closed Beta testing, that all is performing as expected, they then choose to release a PUBLIC BETA or a RTM PATCH. Hopefully then, in the greater wild, where some people run all sorts of rigs, to all sort of standards and upkeep and integrity... the developer's efforts hopefully will have come to fruit. This of course, is after completely developing, from scratch, a new graphics engine. > SHOCK HORROR < that this may keep you waiting for a while.

better than incessant whinging/ blackmail and silly threats, over every small patch (fix) release
