I guess that would be understandable, IF EA didn't mess up the big
releases like they do...
A patch that in 50% or more people fails to install.... a server that
leaks 12KB/sec, a bug that is present in ALL versions of the server,
what the hell is wrong with the QA department?
On a side note in 30-06-2005, 02:17 AM, i spoted a server via ASE that
was Version v1.1.24*76*.0, at dice. as you can see in my post:
http://forums.totalbf2.com/showpost.php?p=143257&postcount=1783
I can only guess that if a 2476 build was even made, can only be because
the 2475 was not all that good....
I just cannot believe that a QA department on a major company like EA,
was not able to spot a bug that is present in all versions off the
server, and not only is present but also presents itself in whatever
SO/kernel/hardware, and happends ALL the time, right from the beginning,
and we all seen EA testing this build for hours at a time, in 64 man
servers... did they have servers with 1TB of memory and found 2/3% usage
acceptable? was that the problem? lol... just lol..
Is the EA QA department Mr.Magoo of sorfware? At least in Mr.Magoo in
the end it allways ended well... not true for EA.
Im really piessed .
