At least they are listening and feeding back.
Blimey, theres a few issues there, what where they doing when the beta tesing was going on? all on holiday or something?
Rizzy, betas are always for makeing sure that the Plants and trees are visually correct.
For the actualy game fixes what is better then millions playing and then flaming at the dev's on forum :devil:
But then again not alot of things dont come up unless the game is put under pressure by millions of players and each update comes with its fixes and bugs.
At least they're working on solutions, which not every Dev can be bothered to do.

The Beta aint for visuals, that they can test themselves....
Yes the beta is to have thousands of free gametesters find the bugs in the programming.. but when you set a launch date and dont make it, they just release it and finish up the rest later..
Do you remember how good the beta ran?
Talk about bugs..
when the beta was online more then 2 million players played it, so thats a pretty huge tester base..

Yeah the beta for the consoles was more of a demo. The beta for the pc was to find problems with all the other stuff they added to make the pc side of things they way pc players want it. Dedicated servers, browsers and such. I can't remember how many pc beta codes where released but it alot. Dice have said that that was still less than something like 20% of the people who where playing in the first two weeks. The pc netcode (yes I am out of my comfort zone here :D ) is much tricker to get due to all the different specs and settings the pc can have. Add punkbuster to that and let the party begin. PB was off during most of the beta even when it said it was on in server. Dice have done this before to see what hackers come up with. :boxing:
Anything about in-game VC quality reporrted yet? We seem to experience awful sound quality and hence use TS3, but it's the in-game comms that make the exerience for the non-members.
The only thing that they have said is that is intermittent. Which we managed all on our own. They quality when they are working is better than they were at first. Hopefully when some of the other problems are sorted they will let us choose a voice quality but then I imagine that will cost more for bandwidth.
hopefully they will add a feature to mute single people on the ingame coms.. (atleast i havent found one yet, but havent actually looked)
