Everyone was, which helps my point. I'm not saying release it on the live servers, I'm saying promote the beta server by opening it up to the public with added goals of fixing and testing specific mechanics and hunting down bugs, the larger the population, the larger the stress test.

Remember how when they buffed AI in 2.1 but resulted in Beta 4 AI Being the best, but we still ended up with Beta 6 AI with Superweapons that still ended up being nerfed after release? yeah.

I remember all that... But my point is that the issue is not a shortage of beta testers... There was no shortage of bug reports on every single issue that has been raised since the 2.3 live release. The problem is that the majority of those bug reports were either ignored or reviewed and deemed low priority fixes.

Either way you slice it, nothing was done. This is not the result the community wanted after 1.5 months of Beta testing effort.

Or they were found, reported, acknowledged, deemed high priority, and yet inexplicably someone made the decision to release this to live anyway. And that is the biggest burning question I have...I would really like some insight into the thought process that led to it being released in the state that it was in.

Hello cmdrs,
After 2.3.01 landed I have a problem to log into open or private. Game just crash every time :(. Only solo mode works. Anybody else have the same problem?

If it makes you feel any better, players in Merope are getting CTD's when they try and dock at Alcazar's Hope since 2.3.01 dropped...though that'll no doubt be patched post haste, far faster than xbox.

I managed to get down there after about 7 crashes of various kinds. Might well be a local cache issue that eventually gets sorted thorugh persistence.

I was being lectured on the steam forums yesterday how the Star Texture "bug" was my graphics card being dead!

Some people are simply wilfully blind to any and all problems even when you provide 100's of comments backing it as a widespread bug as evidence! These people basically actively stop bugs being fixed by downplaying them and discouraging discussion to the point the devs actually don't know what the prevalence is and think a widespread issue is minor!

Sadly steam doesn't have an ignore function....

I hear ya! One of the reasons I never bother with the Steam forums any more. ;) I can deal with those who lack attention to detail. There are people out there who appear to be legitimately blind to all but the most glaring quality issues in a video game. Again... That is fine... But when those same people start throwing their weight around, blowing off legitimate bug reports and going as far as dissing on those who do see these issues, then we have a problem. A BIG problem!

I've been an avid gamer pretty much all of my adult life, since video games barely existed when I was a kid in the 60s. Since the first days of the internet and gaming BBS boards, there have been Apologists. What motivates this bizarre breed of human, and keeps them defending the often times indefensible is a mystery for the ages.

To say that their misguided loyalties have done nothing but stifle the progress towards higher and higher quality standards in video game development would be the understatement of the century.

I don't understand what motivates these people. What keeps them essentially voting against their own best interests in pretty much every single instance of game breaking issues.

Yep! I simply do not understand them, and after nearly 40 years of reading their clueless drivel, I can confidently say, I never will. ;)

You didn't read it properly, did you. It's for MAJOR PATCHES. Such as 2.3. NOT 2.3.01, which is a minor patch.

I read every post regarding their commitment to updating all platforms at the same time.

I just didn't link them all to you. I linked the one which clearly outlined all the platforms by name.

If you want to cherry pick that one statement because you're too ignorant to understand the context FD spent the last 19ish months crafting when they said that it was the design intent to do it this way, then that's a comprehension issue that starts and ends with yourself.

mod away all the truth you want, you're not going to change that.

I docked at Alcazars Hope before patch landed. After patch 2.3.01 was installed I tried to log into open but game crashed every time.

OK, no problem. I'll let you get on with your fantasies then.

Not going to help you much, but
- playing on PC
- using the direct launcher
- dl'ed the patch, fired up ED, went into a private group, no problems. Currently waiting for my Dolphin to be transferred to where I'm sitting at.

Again, if you were paying attention you would know. But you've been too busy with the PC-master-race people the last two years to actually read what FD puts in the Xbox forums, I get that.

I hope Frontier continues to release patches for 2.3 until all the bugs are fixed. I'm glad they've released this patch and are committed to at least one more. I hope that they are willing to do additional patches if the situation warrants it, though. In the past, it seems as though they have only ever been willing to do a couple of patches in the window after release, and then "go dark," leaving all remaining bugs, no matter how obnoxious or embarrassing, to be fixed in the next major point release.

I'm also appreciative of the fact that they are releasing this patch for the PC now, and being willing to weather the storm of criticism regarding the wait time for the Xbox patch.

Good work and thank you, Frontier. Keep up the good work. Please really do keep up the good work; it is appreciated.
