Bets on what issues will crop up with this optional patch(*)? Clearly CCP can't be arsed to review their work for errors until their clients speak up in volume about their shoddy production values.
CCP employees must be drinking the bubbly now that they are about to release their optional fix and go back to planning their next vacation as well as strategizing how to outsource more of their QA testing to 3rd world countries for pennies.
After all, taking first class seats to tropical destinations isn't cheap!
(*) - many if not most folks are experiencing several of the main bugs listed in the Tyrannis 1.1 issues thread. "Optional" isn't really.

Originally by: Twiagon Old Lessons, new dogs....
CCP learnt years ago: - Most people play at weekends. - Most problems are created and therefore can be fixed, given time. - Most patches have some unforseen issues, small or large, so patch earlier than later.
So, what has been forgotten here.. well, patches used to be Tuesday rather than Thursday and despite common sense, they didn't touch common code such as window snap locations, for example, without some long term testing (I have not seen any windows problems on Sisi - was I testing this change?).
I am not happy with this patch, more so than any other and perhaps after 7 years I have come to expect some service that my tolerance is deserving.
QFT.
Patch releases on a Tuesday or Wednesday have a far better chance of being addressed that same week with good quality. This allows for a tight turn around on the patch(es) as well as keeps those executing the patch home and obtaining rest on the weekend.
As much as the Tyrannis 1.1 patch stinks, I want to see CCP personnel have the weekend off in order to be well-rested for the coming week of 'oh **** we really need to review our patch release processes and here is what we are going to do.'
Well-rested CCP employees give us paying clients a better chance of having a working game when the next patch comes around. CCP employees who are over-worked will continue to put out ****.
This assumes that CCP employees, their management team and their investors give two ****s about the quality of their product. Yeah, I know...

Originally by: Raptor13fox guys..... Read the F-N patch info navigator linked and stop asking if it will fix this or that. IM sure it explains it all in the link for god sakes some of you are ignorant.
Ah my friend, one of the first lessons to learn about CCP patch notes is that they have become increasingly devoid of information over the past year.
In other words: We could read the updated patch notes until we are blue in the face, but CCP will still omit much of what they changed.

Originally by: Nilanea Edited by: Nilanea on 02/10/2010 19:41:24 Odd, this optional patch requires you to log in FIRST and then you can download the patch. *shrug* Strange.
So you log in first, apply patch, client restarts, and then you relog back in to play. *scratches head*. Oo***.
It is odd that you mention this. I was wondering why Vista didn't chirp up and ask for permission to change stuff. I wonder what CCP actually did to get around this OS feature that *never* fails to be invoked by the standard EVE patching mechanism...
