Well, I started this thread and unfortunately I got my answer. Thanks. Guess I'll wait for 1.3... And then wait again like I did with this one (for everyone to rush and install it first). Glad I waited.

Well anyone waiting for 1.3 you're wasting your time as it probably won't fix anything, since it's supposed to be the map editor. Pray they do not delay it to fix the things they broke in this last patch. Also let's hope someone figures out how to turn the cheats back on. You want to bet you have to download 1.2 before you load 1.3.
No bets, thanks... like I said, I'll wait 'till everyone 'beta tests' 1.3, and then make a decision. 1.1 is running quite nicely for me.
So... are you glad you patched it?

Really? All of them? I did hear that before. Still, I'm rather suspicious but maybe after I get lots of confirmation, I'll change my mind.

Exactly! It's like they don't understand not to touch stuff that worked fine and instead focus on the problems we have been telling them about for months now.
Instead, they continue to ignore the problems that have existed since the beta and then they try to change a feature in the game, but wind up making it worse than it previously was.
REALLY don't get the point about changing/"fixing" things NOBODY complains about.
And when you think about so many things that had to be fixed...
Dunno about the fact of adding problems/crashes, makes them look incompetent, but still, "can" happen. But the rest shows just too much of "whe're not listening to our players/buyers", no way to excuse that.

There is a lot of gritching in that thread over at the official forum, but none of the problems they cite strike me as being P0 or P1 bugs. The game seems quite playable to me, despite them.
I do wish that Nival would realize that they have a large squad of testers out here, eager volunteers who have proven their value in the beta.
In the world of 'grownup' software, the standard practice is to offer a patch immediately to the customer reporting a problem, asking that they verify the fix, and then later a set of fixes are rolled together to make a release that goes out to the entire customer base. This version is regression tested to make sure nothing got broken and then the individual fixes are verified. Sure, there will still be bugs, but the patch itself is solid. There is excellent configuration management software available.

Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes.
