Thanks, here's to hope.

Thanks BS, would appreciate some info regards the bugs the mini fix will address or that you discovered. We have been trying to establish a common cause regards the CTD problem and it would be good to see how well (or how badly) we did with some of our 'fixes' and wether they relate to what you have done.

Some fresh posts from B6 at Sukhoi today (2012-05-16), among them this regarding what may happen this friday (with rather confusing google translate as always):

Question by alexmdv:
Alexander, I have one small question - this Friday is to rely on a mini-fix number two or number 2 beta?

Answer by BlackSix:
How to make - just Lay out. Now time is running out is not as + Needed to handle the HUNDREDS of of Letters from the dumps. I Hope That, at Least, be Able to publish a Report on work on Friday.

I understand it like:

We need to go trough hundreds of mails with dumps, and we are not under such pressure as we were before releasing the patch and therefore it will maybe be another progress-report this friday but no fix.

Any other guesses?

And another 6 months for sure. But what about trees, grass and clouds that were supposed to be ready in less than a week?

[skouras]

so 6 months for the alpha and another 6 months for a beta...
god help us all...

[III/JG53_Don]

They never said it will be ready in less than a week.. they said

grass and trees cause hick-ups. A few extra days of work for this, a few days for grass, few days for clouds

If you add these issues as a "few days work"for every matter on its own you could easily end up assuming they need possibly some 2 or 3 weeks for all issues. Maybe even more if they concentrate right now on crash dumpfiles and causes of CTDs primarily.
I guess they dont have enough manpower to work on CTDs, grass, trees, clouds simultaneously.
Allthough I am eagerly awaiting a new Beta patch which eventually kill the stutters and hickups of my game (stutters over land despite 50fps and more unfortunately) I am quite happy with this game currently.
No annoying CTDs anymore (only during loading screen between missions which is bearable imho at the moment) and a very frequent communication.

I hope they don't call months on the fix for Grass/Trees/Clouds because these are clearly a problem and we where told it would take 3 days on each, 3x3 = 9 days and I am expecting this soon after waiting long enough. Patience bear can go stick his head in a tank on this one.
