Why did you do it again?!?!
« on: August 25, 2009, 07:03:09 PM »
HTC; I love your game.  That's why through this whole update ordeal I have stayed true to it.  Tweaking and modifying settings so that I could continue enjoying this game.  Finally everything was ok.  The stuttering had stopped and the low frame rate issues were resolved, life was good (Not great, but good).  And then today came!!!!!  A new patch......

Now I can't land because the stuttering is so bad.  I can't have bum map on becuase it destroys my frame rate, even though I always Used to play with it on in patch 6.  Your patch to improve the game is making ppls games worse!  Everyone that plays the game that I know (Rook)  is having count issues with their frame rate.  And god forbid we cross from the ocean to the land in a 20+ plane fight because the game just locks up from the useless ocean bumps, that serve no purpose. 

People are still having issues with your product. You may not hear about it because in these forums they tend to fall on deaf ears, and receive ridicule from those that are not effected by these updates, but let me assure you that we still exist.  Instead of focusing on adding more shrubs for eye candy, or increasing the frame rate of those that are already running the gamer in Hi-Def, why don't you focus on making the game more suitable for everyone, not just the elite few!?.......

Just a though....

No Im dead on.  The update information is in the readme file and the game is having serious issues now.  And oh, it took 2 minutes and 27 sec for someone to come along and prove my last point.  If we speak down about the game on here then we're wrong.  This is America, I'm free to speak my mind......

Your free to speak your mind, and there have been several doing just that. Your best bet if you need assistance is to email support@hitechcreations.com and they generally get back to you quickly. Now if your just venting your frustrations, and you use a public forum, well your asking for some negative feedback.

Oh yeah, the water takes almost 10 minutes to load.  Until then Its white and you can't tell what your alt is without looking down at the gauge.  So that means skins, and water is at least two things that need work.

Patience.

Did you notice how many people were having trouble when the updates went out . . .

And then there was a patch, and things got better for some . . .

And then there was another patch, and things got better for more . . .

And then there was another patch, and things got better for even more . . .

And then there was another patch, and things got better for even more still . . .

<<Skipping over a few more patches>>

SOOOOO -- given the natural progression of things and past history -- exactly why are you not 100% completely confident that whatever bugs may have been inadvertently reintroduced will be resolved in yet another patch to come relatively soon?


All this knee-jerk to insta-whine and stamping of feet is quite perplexing.

For me, everything was fine until today.  Posted my dxdiag in the Tech section in another thread.

Guys... before you go off on HTC in public... send your issues to them either via email, or just give them the facts here.  No need to accuse anyone of catering only to the elite.  I have been playing online games long enough to know, that sometimes you fix one thing, and unintentionally break something else.  

If it worked fine for you before, and its broken now... they will fix it.  They didnt do it on purpose.  Relax... be civil and patient and you will get your issue addressed.

I don't want to seem like a jerk but this getting ridiculous.  Every time there is a new patch I get to spend days trying to figure out what else I can do to make my game better.  I have been patient and that's why I didn't quit.  I could spend my $15 a month on something else.  People play this game for relaxation from real life.  However, it is quickly approaching more stress then fun.

If I was HiTech...I'd send you an email saying your account has been disabled and your participation is neither desired nor accepted...but then I'm a hardcase. You will probably get a nice edit of your post with "see rule #4" then this thread will get locked.

If you have a technical issue post it in the Tech Support section...if you just want to rant put it in the O'club section...if you want to whine about the problems you're suddenly having, do it in an objective and polite manner...don't make it out to be a personal affront to you.
