And the poor blighters are using SVN if I recall correctly. I've heard it's common in game dev, cos it was always good at dealing with large binary art assets. Wonder if they've made the move to LFS yet? Probably anything that's been used for a decade on the Cobra engine is fairly well embedded into tools and workflows though.

My favorite error message of all time said:
"An error has occurred. Please choose the reason." and gave you three options -- Disk Error, System Error, Cosmic Rays.
You could choose a reason and click OK.
Made me laugh every time.
Many years ago i was looking at some network source Code, and there was a comment 'There is no practical way you should be at this line of code' .... made me laugh...
Max is the community, Goofy is the moderators telling us to be patient about the beta. No, really. Think about it.

Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!
Damn this thread is getting out of hand, My grandchildren have more patience's than some on here.
I'm off to gather some mats in my little srv or just go to a haz res.
No, the winning move is the most obvious one for that purpose. Release on time and reasonably stable. Wouldn't be the first time FDEV achieves it, they've done it most of the time, alas not this one.
Actually, the winning move would be for FD to not announce the beta release until they release it. That way they could get it ready without all of these complaints, even when their target date slips.
There was an interview in Retro Gamer recently (can't remember who was being interviewed or what about - sorry!) where the coder talked about a game he'd written that was 100% finished but which remained unreleased because they never found the source of a random crashing bug.
It's official, nothing's working and noone knows why
That's fine. No need to panic.
Panic only when everything's working, and no-one knows why.

Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet! Are we there yet!
Ah Your such a hero with your words of wisdom. If you haven't noticed already we are the ones paying for the game so we do have SOME entitlement to be upset at two delays... anyhow personally I'm not too bothered but I hate how people have the audacity to say you haven't got the right to be upset.... (FDevs your still doing a great jump though so keep up the good work)
The ikea equivalent of a book shelf that's standing up fine even without the three left over screws.
I dare you to put a load of heavy books on it.

Twiddling thumbs..rolling fingers in a gallop on desk..just thought of an idea to bring the ARCADE into the game (as CQC doesn't either): -
ELITE: SPACE INVADERS!
Yup, you all gather up in a line facing the Nav Beacon and strafe in formation on 25% impulse as the defender tries to stop them as missiles get fired at him!
