Luthier certainly likes to create as much uncertainty among his customers as possible. An interesting way to do business!

How does telling your customers you hope to have another patch out in a couple of weeks foster uncertainty.

Minimum of two weeks = anytime from saturday just gone, he never gave an upper limit. No confusion or uncertainty about it, it'll be ready when it's... do I really need to finish that?

...............tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, ............................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Who cares? If it happens great, if not move on.

It does matter to people who can't get the game to run now and have shelved it in the hope of one day it may be mended,it does matter to those of us still waiting to see if it works and the improvements are good enough to warrant spending money on a major computer upgrade, - - it does matter for the future of all the future developments and addons of this sim.
Simply it does matter

I never said it didn't matter. Those are your words not mine.

The big yawn is for the daily vigil and clock watching. Not whether it happens at all.

You have to admit it's all pretty vauge. if i told my boss I'd have something ready in about two weeks - kinda sorta - then didn't, i'd get the sack.

i'm sorry for my negative attitude. i hope and think they probably will come through eventually. but i'm still struggling to trust these guys given the deliberate deception surrounding the orginal launch.

it's a long road back.

Its impossible to give an exact date for a patch release unless you do it the day it works. Fix one thing create a bug in another. Atleast the patch annoucement lets people know they are still working on the sim.

If you gonna write a report then your argument is valid but not for bugfixing.
"My car is broken, how long will it take to fix it?"
When troubleshooting all you can specify is the amount of effort. "We are all working full-time to solve the problem. It has the highest priority"

Patch is due anytime from today till the "time it takes to recode the hole game + the time it took to come to that conclusion".

We already seen what happens when "the boss" (Ubi) demands a date from the coder (1C) - we got an Alpha.
