No, that was in response to someone saying that the devs dont test online because they "didnt have internet in the office" and the devs stated they had tersted online and they had internet set up in the office.

That wasnt the only reason the patch wasnt released, reread the issues. Clearly there are still problems with the effects (as they stated re. clouds).

The information doesn't contradict itself, it seems more a problem in how certain people interpret the information given.

Many Thanks and good luck

A venerable project director learned me several years ago a basic rule when you are in the middle of a problem: "never ask why".

Cheers!

Thanks for the update. Appreciate your hard work and really hope you soon nail it.
On day one i thought the patch fixed it for me. I have 1 crash in 3 hrs of flying.
The following days however it felt like theree was no patch at all. Still launchercrashes, lots of em and at unpredictable situations. Ive sent my logs and hope you can nail it down very quickly. I really want to play the game. But sadly in the current state i have to shelve it - again

"A few extra days of work for this, a few days for grass, few days for clouds"

Looking forward it. I assume you are still on track with this?

Thanks for the update BS! Looking forward to improvements (especially being able to turn cloud and grass back on) and more frequent patch releases.

Blacksix,

your post just proves that the customers have the broken beta on their computers for last 14 months. Since the release. Actually they bought it btw..

The remaining crash bugs are hard to catch, which is why we’re actually glad it’s been crashing for you. Yes, I said glad.
It’s been crashing for us too, and in a way that makes it impossible to catch the exact culprit.

Now you want some of them to test every alpha of rewritten BoM engine. But the rest have to wait.... Did I get it right?

Thanks for the update.

No crashes for me; no crashes before the patch either.

Thanks for the update B6, can't wait for final patch.

I don't think you did....

Thank you BlackSix and 1C !

I like honest feedback even if honesty sometimes hurts.

And I also like that the news is positive (yes, I consider them positive).

And I very happy you clarified the thing about the graphics quality. This is great news!

Nice weekend!

thx for the update and your continuous work!
definitely some improvements there and if the crashes can be ironed out now, it would be a huge step forward.
Also thanks for some corrections in the sometimes misleading german version

Pls, like pupo said, check the il2bugtracker regular as it is the easiest way to talk/comment about bugs
