Well maybe I need to see a doctor too, because I agree that's it's frustrating paying for something that I can't get to work the way it should. I pay to enjoy the game, not constantly downloading patches only to find out there's a bug with the elevators or my sound pack I've been using for 2 or 3 years will now cause stutters and freezes.
Is it too much to ask for to just log on and play? I've updated drivers, patched for the processor and a ton of other things to get the game working right. And as soon as I do....BAM! another patch to fix some more bugs! It gets old man.
The doctor would say, "find a new hobbie"
Welcome to computers.
Seriously, my older brother is a relative computer novice having only had his first laptop for a few years now. At least we talk on the phone a lot since he always has questions and needs frequent tech support.
To make a long story short he was very very frustrated one day and, after a few drinks, was doing his "this is BS... why can't they just make them work... I pay for something I expect it to work... blah blah blah" thing. I had to calmly explain to him that no two computers are the same, given differences in hardware, software, application settings, etc., etc., etc. and that the hardware and software were made by many many companies independant of one another so, the likelyhood for unforseen conflicts was high. Add user created content (soundpacks, applications, etc.) and it just gets worse.
Frankly, it's almost a wonder that they work at all. For the benefits I guess you just have to be able to put up with some occasional pain.
