Reminds me of a song too. "In the year 2525, if this beta is still alive, if the coders can survive, they may find...another bug!"

You are showing your age. A song from the mid 60s! It must be the Age of Aquarius coding!

Where are you going fishing in the most northern of the lower 48 states of the USA? Are you going to where you can look south into Big Canada Land?

I doubt it. Unless he has a boat to get there, he would have to travel through a part of Canada by land. Canada customs would confiscate his dynamite ...

1. Someone asks about the status of the patch.

2. Someone else replies "soon" just a few problems left to fix.

3. We're told it's in Matrix's hands and "testing".

4. A new problem or bug is then discovered while testing, or maybe just playing with the only publicly released version.

5. Relative silence then prevails for weeks as we wait.

6. People start getting sarcastic and making jokes about the patch (me included) and its issues.

7. Item 1 then gets repeated.

Things have been more or less been going this way for about a year (give or take) now. I'm all for getting the best possible patch out with as few issues (and hopefully none) as possible and people have really tried hard. We certainly don't want a final patch mess that needs a patch itself that it may never get, but there comes a point where somebody just has to say we've done the best we can, and things just can't be fixed without breaking something else.

Maybe the point of diminishing returns has arrived? Just my opinion based on what I've read here.

Spot on and like most true things in life, there is some humor here.

Great times. Would be very cool to return someday when they've figured out a way to mosquito-proof the place.

Cheers,

When this comes out, are we to assume these will be mainly hard-coded changes taking place?
And we assume that all changes in the databases will be clearly listed... so modders can incorporate if they choose to do so?

I will be saving my next small patch until this comes out in case any of the changes require any re-balancing in the mod.
