That's how I remember it too (see my previous post : http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...814#post327814

It wasn't all as clear as you're implying. Hindsight has made it seem much more obvious, but for every issue coming out of the Russian launch it was possible to come up with alternative explanations - I know because I did it. I decided that until I had it on my own PC I couldn't rule out people running with un-optimised settings, below spec HW etc, as reasons for the apparently bad performance.

Are you really saying that you and Tree were singing from the same hymn-sheet prior to the game launch (?!) and that the rest of us were mugs because we hoped for something better, because that's not how I remember it?

Your take on the Spit start-up sound has the feel of hindsight about it too - the obvious way to interpret Oleg's statement is that the sound in the video was a place-holder that would be switched to the release standard sound prior to launch, not that we could expect placeholder sound at launch

I dont remember many people at all singing from the same hymm sheet as me at the time, I was the resident baddy and all round Troll, sadly nothing as changed much there, I called it as i saw it and now forum members have reinvented the past to make it look like I was just shooting from the hip, i guess that is just human nature though.
