Well with less than an hour of play and daily crashes, I'm done with the game for now.  Thinking about upgrading from 2gb to 4gb which will just do me good in general, along with APB.  I'll pop into Social, cause I got my new Pioneer to finish decaling, but I'm probably gonna wait to renew to see what changes with this next patch, cause this next patch will be the decider for alot of people staying I think.

I have all the recordings, they're in .ogg format and I'm working on torrenting buying some video editing software tonight to edit them. If you want, I can throw them into a .zip on mediafire. Unfortunately, about half the footage was shot in default recording resolution (320x240 or something terrible like that). So some of our better moments are in shit quality.

Yeah, sorry about Mumble dying on you guys, I was installing Java VM on it, and for some reason it hard-locked in the middle of the install and now it 100% bricked, it can't start and even the Web Control Panel says it can't query the virtualization program on their side, so something got fucked on the host-side.

[Kirby]

It's back up, apparently I had the crappy luck of running that update when someone else on the same host machine did something stupid and spooged all over it.

[copulatingduck]

so is this the patch everyone said to wait for? I assume it'll take a few days to sort out, but I'd be interested to see how it turns out

I don't think so, I think this is a for now patch. They have a big list of things they are working on and just added a development forum to keep people in the know more.

[Versus]

yeah this is basically a bugfixing patch

[Maxon]

Bah, just a patch that fixes a ton of tiny problems, but zero of the issues people are actually asking for with matchmaking, vehicles, and weapons.  No renewal for me this week.

It's only been like 2 weeks. Personally I see myself spending all my time in the pureskill servers they are working on.
