Pelican Pal Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm not sure that there is any easy way to implement that idea, in fact I suspect that with only two programmers available to do everything the company needs to do, it might push back work on everything else back for weeks or even months. In short, while your suggestion might well be of the "nice to have" variety, I wouldn't look for it to have a top of the list priority. Michael This has been my point all along. I do not expect BFC to drop everything to fix it. The game is not broken without this changed. However, it is a legitimate issue that should be resolved at some point. There shouldn't be added steps to setup a game because you gave BFC more money. And having secondary installs for modules is a silly fix. I don't know where else that is the recommended thing to do, but for some reason it is here. I never made this a doomsday argument, but people assumed it was. My personal experiences don;t matter because it is an overall design issue rather than strictly a personal one. I do have several games of RT going currently. Although I've been playing less than I used to. For a while I played quite a bit at the Blitz and this issue did arise a few times there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 And yet still you don't answer which leads one to believe you are making a mountain of an issue that you aren't facing at all. I have had multiple pbem partners and not had this issue yet. I also don't see anyone raising as much fuss on this as you. I hope you are practicing "safe pbem" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postfux123 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Acoording to the number of threads and posts discussing an expense of $10 there should be a lot of people out there to PBEM on old versions. This method should also guarantee to meet people with a similar mindset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hister Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 STD or CTD, both sound scarry to me. Do I have to pick one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ...there should be a lot of people out there to PBEM on old versions. Oh, they whine but mostly they still buy. The horror of playing the 2nd best version of the game drives them to upgrade . CMBN v2.12 will look progressively less appealing once flamethrowers (and other stuff) arrive. Then the hesitators will no doubt complain about having to buy both v3.0 and the game pack together because they hadn't got v3.0 earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Always allow your men to whinge and grumble. It's when they stop grumbling and moaning you've got trouble! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Lee Irked Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My whine is that I cannot pay money to BFC because they do not have 3.0 for Mac! I also blame the beta test group. They are obviously incompetent and I should be first in line as a replacement. I question the business model that allows this and I wish BFC would just hurry up and take my money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I question the business model that allows this and I wish BFC would just hurry up and take my money. I feel your pain. Having all that money around can be torment for some people, although I must admit it never bothered me all that much. What you should do is write BFC a check for $1000 with instructions to just deduct whatever amount is due when each new release becomes available. Do this once a year and everybody should be happy. Just writing this has made me happy already. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
