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 bitching that unsurprisingly they can't play online with it. *sigh* Andrew.
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. "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TNj_a.90881$cF.28802@rwcrnsc53...

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