<P><FONT SIZE=2>> At last, BF:V was given to DICE Canada (for whatever reasons) </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and since then, communication was dead. No stop, I'm wrong: I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> remember having much traffic on this list, when Peter Chang </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> did it, asked for our opinion and bugs and finally fixed </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> them. His way of communication was sometimes sloppy, but heh, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> at least we got some informations... :)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I guess I'm partly to blame for this... I haven't been keeping up with keeping the community posted on patch status. The problem is, that for whatever reason (perhaps simply ignorance on the decision-makers part) , I was told to keep it hush-hush. I will raise your concerns with the powers that be -- hopefully, I can get the go-ahead to make things more public. I do realize the power and value of the community.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Irregardless, I haven't been posted many messages on the list because often the post is either:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>a) "When is the patch coming out?", which, as explained above, I can't answer (though, I will say, without any sarcasm, real soon now).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>b) "I'm getting lag with >32 players", which has been answered innumerable times (and the answer is always that we are addressing the problem in the v1.01 patch). Just on a side note, does anyone ever read the bottom of the box? It does technically say 2-32 players. So, you should be happy with that, right? *wink*</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>c) Or, simply, the question gets answered inofficially by some of the more vocal members of the community.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I definitely read every message posted to this list, so you can dismiss your concerns that bugs mentioned on the list aren't getting considered. I keep my TODO list pretty full these days -- no chance of getting bored here.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I hope this answers a few questions, and hopefully, very soon, I can answer a few more.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers,</FONT>
