Could the NR2003 patch situation get any worse? Only if they give up and
never finish it. Since June 27th 2003, the patch for NR2003 has been a
series of mistakes one after the other. The patch was needed and the
mods are a great idea, but the execution has been decidedly third rate.
I hope no one at Papy puts this on their resume.

Has Papy/Sierra actually announced the patch as being released? A
bunch of people jump in and download a file that is unannounced and
then start ***ing that unsurprisingly they can't play online with
it.

*sigh*

Mostly I would agree, but I don't know how much Papy had to do with it.
Mostly IMHO it has to do with people leaking it all over the place, not
papy.

Yes, it was available for a brief period in the autoupdate system, but they
pulled it because there were issues with the "Race in Sierra.com" -button.

So much for the Sierra Q/A :D
