Yes Sutts, that's my point. I think that there are probably a lot of players expecting far too much from the next patch. My understanding is that it addresses the graphics engine performance, and hopefully some bugs associated with graphics. It is unlikely to fix many (if any) of the miriad of other bugs in the game.

It is just a graphics/performance patch. The devs have been incredibly clear on that so, if others are expecting more than a graphics/performance patch, more fool them.... that is their problem and noone else's.

I wouldn't say a 50-100% fps boost was exactly "small" either.... that is the difference between me going from 1280x720 to my native 1600x900...AND switching the shadows on..... infact, if all goes to plan, I'll be able to raise quite a few of those settings and, frankly, I think I've got the game running pretty smooth and looking gorgeous right now! My only real problem right now is the particle issue...... and they are working on that this very minute!

Of course, we could all end up incredibly disappointed but, frankly, that's life.

Even then.... doesn't mean it's over.... shout out to any "Gothic 3" or "Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines" players out there

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines ... my disk is damaged and I can't get the install to run through, otherwise I'd be spending a bit more time in the sewers than in the sky...

Shame about your disk there. Great game.... made great by the community! That's the thing... even if 1C never get this sim sorted and it fades into oblivion... it's only really over when the community says it is and there are enough people in this community with the brains and the knowhow to rustle up something. I sometimes get the feeling that some folks on this forum think that if CloD isn't fixed, someone is going to start executing their family members.

Positivity is a wonderful thing!
