Well the 'If you don't fix it I'll quit' message never seems to work.

So I thought the 'everyone else can do it, why can't you?' message would be worth a try.

On another note, in same forum Zeroace has made an interesting post. I wonder if Zeroaces intestinal fortitude over the FM is faltering? :D

Ya know... I just cannot work Vulcan out.

In WW2OL he talks about how WW2OL is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and Aces High absolutely sucks prettythang.

Then on these boards, suddenly WW2OL sucks and Aces High is great!

Wonder what he says on AGW?

Any professional programmers wanna comment on that statement (made in response to a request to roll back to the previous version).


It would be suicide for CRS to roll back an entire version, and it's sometimes impossible to roll back portions of code as much of it is related to other parts of the application. I don't find his comment to be dishonest. In this case, fixing the problem is the smart thing to do rather than bailing on the version.

I would have been more surprised if CRS (or any development house) came out with a version that was stable from turn-key. I'm near certain that there will be bugs with AH2 that will make people wonder if the upgrade was worth the expense. But the people who stick it out (like the fanbase of WWIIOL) will hopefully be rewarded with a quality product in the long run.
