I'd rather have a partial patch or two than wait two months for a complete Code Patch...

I think they feel that an inadequate code patch will attract negative reactions. For those who don't distinguish between data and code this will be the second attemt to fix the things keeping them from playing. Many won't wait for a third.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Might the latest set of drivers released since MoO3 help anyway? Its been so long since I got the DX problem I forget what the cause was.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Still a problem in the code...
I won’t bore you with all the gory details (If your interested, and Stencho has not deleted them in a fit of rage, you may read my quite lengthy number of posts detailing the problems, code dumps, and my many attempts to fix them on the IG forums) but suffice to say that many of us are still plagued with the DX problem despite having followed all the suggestions given in the forums, and then some. I have personally gone to the lengths of even testing out (187 to date) different combinations settings within the game, in DirectX, and in my video card’s drivers, all to little noticeable effect.
At the point just before my departure from IG, I was in the midst of constructing a matrix of all the system variables of the affected systems. As far as I got, most seem to be older systems (PII’s or PIII’s below 450 MHz) with video cards (both ATI and nVidia chipsets) containing 32 Megs or less of RAM. Only problem was there were a statistically significant number of computers that also exhibited the incurable form of the DX error that exceeded these specs. As a result, I have not been able to find any common factor linking all the affected systems.
P.S.: Drivers? One of the first things I checked! All are current.Kahn

My PIII 500, 256 MB, Win2K system hits me every time the OS pops up a window, any window.

Sometimes I think its "A naive wish" to believe our opinions matter or that we'll see what we want."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

Something like that. But we can't make them code or QA any faster...and all things considered, we really don't want to.

I like that idea of putting it in the public domain (even if it does introduce more chaos into the system)."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.
