WTF? Does EA even test the patches?

Re: WTF? Does EA even test the patches?

you can test things all you like in closed sessions but it isn't until things are public that some problems can be seen. different equipment for example will cause things to react differently.

All i can say is quit whinging..if you have problems with the patch report them to EA

Exactly.

I concurr. I've not had a problem through the upgrade procedure and I am pleased with the bug fixing.

It seems some people always have a problem with something. If fixing one bug opens up another then so be it, flag it to EA and await the next release. It's not the end of the world.

I have to agree I think 1.12 was the best, 1.2 ruined it, all the fun things were gone as you couldnt manage to at anyone, or fly anything without getting shot down.

However since 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 things have improved, no more bunnyhopping fags with their noob tubes, you can still fly vehicles, you can also kill tanks finally and the PKM is not too accurate but not too unaccurate its realistic.

Although one problem though, the red blue name tag bug HAS got worse no one can argue with that, yesterday evening and today, 3 our of the 7 rounds I played I had the bug and before 1.2 I got it once in all the time I've played.

Im curious what they are doing with 1.3 as theonly thing needed fixing is the red blue bug, only major one left. Maybe add some more weapons

I'm kind of torn on this one...on the one hand it's true that there is no way that their QA could test on every individual hardware configuration for each customer. Given that, we should EXPECT a certain level of bugs that are hardware based or timing based and just deal with it. That's the price we should be willing to pay for choosing more flexible PC games over console games.

On the other hand....it's hard to excuse what seem to be obvious software issues like AT rockets going through a vehicle when fired directly from the front, AA missles getting stuck in the towers or the red/blue tag issues.

the patch before this new one, iin my opinon made the game perfect for everyone.
The latest patch i dont notice much of a change at all, be it good or bad. However the PKM, appears to be unchanged, and really it seems better standing up and shooting it.
