The patch is ready! What we have today is a DX10-only alpha. DX9 support is specifically removed. If you are running DX9, do not apply the patch!

The main purpose of the alpha is to find and squash any remaining or new bugs, especially crash bugs. The most common of the infamous launcher crashes have been fixed, but a few very hard to catch bugs remain. On average, a full day of flying causes about 0.8 crashes, and our internal testing has not yet provided the crash logs needed to zero in on the issue.

Please enable logging in your conf.ini (Log=1). If the game crashes, send us your log as well as any crash dump files created in the cppdump folder in the main game installation.

note the word 'alpha' in the first line AND second line

Does this help clear up your confusion of the state/status of this patch?

Hope so! But if you forget anytime in the near future, I updated my sig for you and yours

What part of 'BETA PATCH' do you not understand??
I will put it in my sig to help you.

Tree..

you can spin it any way you want to but it will not change the fact that you did not read BS post to note that he refered to the patch TWICE as a ALPHA patch

Which speaks volumns about all your post wrt to the patch

Hardly

On that note, please don't get mad at me for pointing out to you where 1C stated the patch is an 'alpha' patch

Remember

YOU ASKED US WHERE IT STATED THAT

You got your answer, now your upset? Please

Regardless of what you want to call it, it is pretty obvious that it is not a release candidate version.

Alpha usually means there is stuff not yet incorporated (seems fitting), beta usually means all the stuff (or almost all of it) is there, but lacks polishing/testing. There is no standard convention for these terms, so everone uses them a bit differently.

Most importantly, they can name it whatever they want, it doesn't change the fact that it is not ready for prime time yet, as they stated in the post.

Also they are Russian so jumping on their every little word as truth is a little bit disingenuous, but that has never bothered you.

I have no reason to lie to you, Tree. I usually don't get involved with these pissing matches because I think they are fruitless and forge bad feelings. BUT, the body of the original post by Black Six has always said Alpha. In the original post there was only two DL links for the international patch, now there are three.

seriously even if it had said Alpha no one can say they wouldn't have downloaded it would they? I sure would have.

I dont see the fuss anyone can roll back to the last release if they want...or they could play a few games of the 'alpha' and send in a crashdump or observations. After all this is why they released the patch in the first place.

I also read 'alpha' in BS's initial post, very soon after it went up.

[KG26_Alpha]

I could change it to read Alpha instead of Beta

But where's the fun in that............ watching the usual suspects struggling to find some leg room to swing thier boot and give the devs a kicking is funny.

Keep it up the entertainments great and I'm sure the rest of the community appreciates it too.
