We are Alpha testing. I vote for 1C to do closed testings instead. Then we wouldn't have this bullshit every beta(read:alpha).

This community testing must be so ineffective. There's no testing protocol or report syntax and 1C gets a shitload of uncomprehensive mails that they have to sort out to find real reoccuring issues that's not related to other stuff.
Not to mention the zillions beta bug threads that soil the forum.

Dolt how else will they be able to test the huge number of different setups that we run...!!!

Hotfix is available.

In answer to the OP,

Because it's his Job.

Gentlemen, even though a beta was released with a "huge" bug, and now a hot fix in place to remedy said bug. We are moving forward and that is what matters. The speed at which the hot fix was released shows that the cause was minor and the repair quick.

It could be much worse, like some games in the past that were released and left as they were, bugs and all with no further development.

I thank the developers for their continued work in this project and I for one will test 100 more betas (bugs and all) to reach a solid and complete game.

We expect their continued support for this game so why should they expect less from us? Yes, I know we paid for the game, that is all the more reason for us to give what we can and give positive support. I can guarantee, people are much more responsive to constructive input than negative reaction.

The patch works fine for me since hot fix, love the sound, love the colors and I do find it running smoother with very little stutter...I have not flown the new beta online for testing yet.

Cheers Mates, S!

Thank you guys for the feedback and letting me know that there are some reasonable people in this forum! People with a realistic view of the world..

You have restored some of my confidence that there are some 'adults' mixed in with the 'masses' S!

@ Vengeanzw.. @ RCAF_FB_Orville.. @ Tvrdi.. @ Tree_UK.. @ Dutch 851

None of your post were worth quoting.. Best to treat them like I would treat a kid in a store who pointing at something on the shelf with his/her eyes full of tears and screaming 'I want I want I want'

Basically ignore them and keep walking.

But I do want to thank you for proving just how spot on my original post is!

I do have to give a special shout out to addman.. Though his post was not as temper tantrum filled as the ones above..

I want to quote something he said that proves that you and yours have no concept of what the word beta means, i.e.

As I said.. no idea what 'beta' means in that he clearly has 'patch' confused with 'beta patch' and 'beta testing'

Your talking about apples and we are talking about oranges. Your lost dude in your defender of the crown crusade. I never whined. Just said the truth. Btw Im enjoying this game now although there still many bugs and a room for optimisation (with pretty strong machine I still need to tone down some settings to have a decent performance).
cheers

Let me guess.. your a smoker too?

whataver makes you happy in your "righteous rant"

I see I have upset you with something I said..

As if I struck a nerve..

Yet your reply seems to have more behind it than just what I said?

As if you feel kind of silly for your inital rant in light of the hot fix being provided just hours later to fix the thing you were whinning about
