There is no software that is fault free, good software is only good because no-one has found the problems yet. I don't know what your own industry is, but it's a lot easier building a wall to engineering specs than writing perfect software, and you know what? A lot of walls still fall over!

That's a silly straw man. Nobody demanded Odyssey to be 100% bug free, but surely there's more than two options here.

You're basically saying the state of any software doesn't matter at all, since creating a 100% error free version isn't possible anyway.

True.

Wrong way round. People don't find the faults because it's good software- good software has seen most use-cases considered during design and has been extensively tested (with the revealed flaws fixed). Only very rarely happened-upon faults slip through. If a lot of users run into problems quickly with a piece of software it's because it's badly made.

Yet another confirmation this is a complete code rewrite aka getting rid of the spaghetti code.

Yeah... about that... :rolleyes:
Considering that not only there are (understandably) new bugs, but also a lot of the OLD ED+EDH bugs, I'm really not convinced that EDO is a 'complete' rewrite...

Of course, I'm sorry, but the impression is that Odyssey is kept on crutches.

You are dreaming. It is so obvious that Oddity was built-on (badly) to an old branch of EDH - just look at the old EDH bugs that are back in Oddity - the offset station holo is the most obvious example (fixed yonks ago in EDH). It is painfully obvious that a FPS game was written and then hammered onto an incompatible code and the resultant mess is disgraceful. They should have been honest and released their FPS game as a separate entity; address the bugs in Horizons; admit their "ten year plan" is defunct, and give partial refunds to all the LEP owners.

So you agree with me is what you are saying. That EDO is built on ED 1.0 and all the spaghetti code that came after was tossed in the bin/trash.
Hence why bugs fixed "yonks" ago have reappeared.
If it was bolted on to EDH like you said these bug wouldnt be here. Likewise they wouldnt have had to redo most of the game.
Why would they need to redo the animation when jumping systems?
Why would they need to redo shield effects?
Its not like they didnt have enough on their plate trying to sort spacelegs, why would they redo most of the game?
Becauses its a full code rewrite based on 1.0 code as thats the only version DavidB can debug.

I can assure you that the offset station holo was a lot more recent than 1.0 (1.2 was realeased in early 2015) Horizons (2.0) was released in Nov 2015. So you can keep on dreaming and wishing but you are sadly mistaken. With every release the content had been developed on a preceding build of the game, not the build that was current of course, so your "de-spaghettification" thoughts are just wishful thinking.
