FD I feel your pain from the simple amount of coding I have done in the past on the Apple II and the Amiga (yes I am an old fart)
But I would like to say to everyone else (as mentioned earlier) why would FD put bugs in on purpose? They want to make this game work more than you can imagine as it is their passion and not to mention that the better it gets the more sales they make. I only started playing about 2 months ago and I did play the original way back in the late 80's for a short while.
I have to say that this game is ground breaking and even though I have personally encountered a few frustrating issues, abusing the devs is completely counter productive as I can only imagine the amount of lost sleep and frustration on their behalf to try and fix issues.
So my advice to all those people that have probably never de-bugged a program in their life, keep giving these guys feedback but also keep it positive and friendly because the abuse and negativity they get is soul destroying.
Have a nice day everyone
