The patch didnt do anything for me, except delete all the files on my hard drive and blow out my ram cpu and graphics card. I think it may need a few more tweaks, thank god its only a BETA and thanks Activision for making the right decision.  




Yeah, and spilling that Big Gulp on your box didn't help either.

I'm curious--how did you come to the conclusion that the patch "blow out" your "ram cpu"?

And just what the heck is a "ram cpu" anyways?

Is that like sheep brains?

Best,
Jerry  




lol man yeah Im currently running my pc with no sheeps brains or graphics card and with no files on my hard drive.

Not my best

Sorry, but that also just slipped out.
 




I'm sorry to have to say this, but grow up. Activision and Taldren are under no legal obligation to release a patch at all.

Do you work for a software company?  You must, as no consumer would ever say that with a straight face.
If you don't?  You, Sir, are the one who should grow up.

It is nothing more than standard business practice, in this day and age.  Produce a crap product without support - let us see how long you stay in the game.  It might surprise you to know that businesses do tend to publically adhere to the 'Consumer Code'.  How well they adhere to it, I do admit, is a different matter entirely.  

The minute a software company tells me they are under 'No legal obligation', I will drop interest in them.  I would like to think I am not alone on this.  Do yourself and those around you a favor, do not spread this lax ignorance too far.  One day the industry may listen to this foolishness and put it into practise.  

This is not console gaming.
Grow up, indeed.

Actually..he's right.....interplay basiclly gave up on SFC2 and Taldren patched most of SFC2 and OP on its own dime...and when they could no longer afford to do so.....they have contracted out patching Khoromag and Arcticfire.....for which ...they were/are unpaid...with no legal obligation or monetary gain...

Again....with no legal obligation.....and no monetary gain....they continue to support SFC2 and OP by hosting the directory servers so we can even play DVII at all.....

And I would bet money that... not if...but when..ACTI decides it can no longer afford to host DV3.....Taldren will pick up the ball again for its fan base.....with no legal obligation or monetary gain.....

So IMHO....its time for alot of people to "grow up" and understand Taldren cares about its fanbase...ALL OF THE FANBASE....not just part of it.....

Their actions  speak volumes in an industry riddled with hollow words and unpatched games....

Thank you.

Thats right activision is updating their site now with an unsupported 1.01 beta patch.  You can grab it from http://www.activision.com/downloads/412.asp as soon as they have uploaded the file.  They currently only have the readme up for the patch so I expect patch to be up very shortly.

The beta patch 1.01 is now available for download from Activision.  Keep in mind this is the beta, not the official version, and apparently it isn't modem-user friendly (it will create lag for modem users).

The watch continues...

What does unsuported mean anyway?, they sat on it long enough.

Is it because its a beta patch that they wount support it or something?.

How much longer after this for the official patch, or will this become the official patch after being out for a bit?.

Woot!

I've downloaded it, but I'm not going to install it until I know what D3 servers will support it. I finally (FINALLY!) got around the psuedo-router/firewall in my DSL modem, be damned if I'm going to install a patch that will keep from playing online because no is supporting it.

Pretty much they are saying that it fixes most of the stuff but not all and it is most likely still buggy.

On the issue of modem play:

On a strictly volunteer basis we would appreciate modem users d/l the patch and testing dynaverse play with 2 and more simulataneous modem users in the same game.

Thank you,
