Dear Group,<br>After going back over the many posting, I realized that there was a surge of spamming after I posted this 5 days ago in response to Ryan stating that a Linux Server release would be available very soon, possibly by the time the Windows patch was released:
<br>"WooHoo, A patch just came out today. Is this the patch Ryan was speaking of or is this just another beta patch?"<br>Maybe it was just coincidental. If not, I apologize and should have been more clear that I was referring to the soon to be release server port and not the client port. Sometimes the gamer side of me speaks out before the professional side of me thinks it through. I have been writing software professionally for 12+ years and had been a Test Engineer for 7+ years. I understand what Ryan and Epic is going through and I am sure they are doing their best to resolve the issues.
<br><br>These are not solutions, but suggestions. We should leave this list to those that are interested in news, updates and constructive feedback. Maybe another discussion list needs to be put in place. Regardless if another list is created or not, purposely creating a subject heading that does not pertain to the content in the email in not cool and is spamming. This goes for the other types of spamming that is going on too. If you can't use this list for the purpose in which it was created, then leave the list and go to Epic's forum to post your complaints. The fact of the matter is that the Linux Server release is going to come out before the Client. When is the Client going to be available. Probably nobody can answer that question. That is just the way it is. I can only assume that Ryan was hoping that when he applied the patch to what he had done so far that it would have gone smoothly. As anyone that is in the business knows that that is not always the case. I am hoping for a server release soon, but my clients understand from experience they will get a more stable game server from a Linux version and will wait. How long, I don't know. But at the moment, they are still dealing with Windows Client side issues.
<br><br>Thanks for listening,<br>Rick<br>
