Oh i dont know about that. If it wasn't illegal the kickstarter scam was pretty damn close.

Ah yes, thanks! Just wondered if you were referring to a different one. It is fun watching them squirm in a mess that is their own making.

"Maybe you are better discussing it at the other forum, I hear you are having more fun there."
Lol. He's itching to use the ban hammer you can almost feel it. A couple of months ago that discussion wiuld have been closed and many folk banned. I guess there has been some progress there.

If they think they're not doing anything wrong, why are they trying to hide that they're gonna apply this DRM to all modules. Very, very clever to change title of the thread , now why wouldn't they want people to know that? Afterall it's very good professional DRM system which makes all better and everyone will be happy like little elves. They're misleading people intentionally to think that this only applies to Harrier module.

I apologize for my confusion on the matter.



I'm sure you wouldn't mind ED releasing broken modules given that they're willing to fix those modules.... I'm also sure you wouldn't mind how long ED takes as long as they're working on it. Again, my bad. I totally see it from your perpective now and can appreciate why you would say such things.

Originally we were talking about the 3 day grace period and ED hypothetically changing votes. That has nothing to do with their past mistakes. As for the DRM itself, it has not been implemented across all modules, and the module that it is included with is in Open Beta. I think it's fair to put the DRM in its own category based on these differences. ED shouldn't have rolled it out without any prior announcement or discussion, but it's not a concern or issue that they've left unaddressed for a long time. I can't say it won't become one, but it has not yet.

If you want to include existing issues, like module fixes, then I don't see how editing the vote will do anything for those issues.

Just like you move on when you no longer wish to defend points you were trying to make.... like admitting to saying things that you wish to backtrack on....

There is no point if my explanations are ignored, that's the thing.


Quote

I'm not worried about false information... that does not come from me.

1.13 is unfair, correct. It was a way to ban anyone for anything, correct. 1.13 is gone now, correct.
Still does not erase the fact that it was there and it was used to it's fullest extent and sometimes even past that.

OK, I wasn't arguing otherwise.


Quote

You wish to disqualify other people's experience and then come back here claiming your own has more merit? You've not seen people banned, sure. But have you looked? Tell you what.... try being critical of ED on ED's forums and we'll take a note of how long that lasts before you're banned. Up for the challenge?

Whose experience am I disqualifying? You've mentioned a few people that were banned unfairly, that can still occur while others aren't banned unfairly. You're giving me evidence for unfair bans, but not supporting the idea that disagreeing with ED is an automatic ban. I've seen people banned, just not for having a difference of opinion with a moderator. As for looking at past bannings, it's not always easy to determine what has happened given that posts tend to be removed.

I won't be critical for the sake of being critical, but if I don't like something that ED has done I might post about it as I've done in the past.

Original title was "Eagle Dynamics New DRM Expiration Period Limit" - it was asked why they changed it, but mods probably were too busy to answer that, I guess they were doing that .. what mods do when they're not answering questions.

Do I get a prize for being close to 50% when the poll got shut down? I can see it now, I think the prize will be a 6 month delay to 2.5 which was due in the 'coming weeks' but is it really any surprise the thread got closed?........the mods and ED were taking an absolute battering in there.....all of their own doing too. Short-sightedness and incompetence with flying colours once again.

343 voters in the poll, 367 votes ?

While we are on this. Do we believe luthier - who fronted the Kickstarter enterprise then mysteriously disappeared - is still involved with dcs ww2?

Part of me can’t help but shake the feeling he is. I’ve nothing to base that on though.

I think I've seen a bug where the forum forgets your vote and lets you vote again, but I have not seen it for a while. Although looking at the image, it says multiple choice poll. I didn't notice that before.

When I set up the Poll. I allowed voters to make multiple selections.

One could vote 60 & 90 days if so wanted.

There is a patch out today for :

DCS 2.2.0.12448 Full Change Log

Support of AV-8B by RAZBAM

Added procedure that collect all necessary files to ZIP for diagnostic. After game crash, will be started procedure that automatically collects debugging information: crash report, crash dump, track, log. If the user agrees to provide information about the system, then msinfo.nfo and dxdiag.txt files are additionally attached.


Added a gameplay statistics. If the user agrees for statistic collecting, the game settings and the type of the player controlled object will be sended to server. This information will be analyzed for further gameplay improvements.

No mention of the new DRM.


Kudos for ED for solving a bug I reported


The Multi-functional Display will not flickering when using SLI/XFire and Deferred Shading.

cheers
