PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, convince EA to let you release beta versions of
the server to us.

We promise we won’t bitch about “Beta” software.

The main reason I am ticked at this server release, is it took 2 weeks
to get to us.. If it would have been released to us right away, we
could have fixed the bugs and had **ANOTHER** version by now.

Please?

I agree in principle but I expect the problem would be that the server
updates often require a client update, and while they might be happy to
have Dice release a beta server patch EA would not contemplate
releasing beta client software to the masses.

I guess that would be understandable, IF EA didn't mess up the big
releases like they do...<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
On a side note in 30-06-2005, 02:17 AM, i spoted a server via ASE that
was Version v1.1.24<b>76</b>.0, at dice. as you can see in my post:

<br>
I can only guess that if a 2476 build was even made, can only be
because the 2475 was not all that good....<br>
<br>
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..<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Im really piessed .<br>
