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

Sorry, I still don't get what losing keys has to do with me purchasing a game and it still been broken a year on. I don't see anything in the key analogy to compare.

I think he understands what an analogy is. He's saying your analogy is not apt.

Well I tried.. Sorry you don't get it

It's just losing something through your own fault and purchasing something and finding out it is broken through no fault of your own are two different things to me. Anyways, I will reserve any final thoughts until the steam release.

Note my analogy was not in responce to your question of 'fault'..

My analogy was in resonce to you 'wondering why' the devs can NOT give us a specific date and time that the patch will be done.

Two very different things!

But seeing how you jump around topic wise I can understand now why you didn't get it.

No one knows if the game will be good enough to suit everyones needs one day or it will be shut down next month. But we can hope and help the devs if we want or switch to other things if we do not want to help.

There are no better developers in Russia (or too few of them). You may try to persuade Activision or EA to create a WWII flightsim if you think it is a very profitable business.

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
