I recall SFI waited to release SE:IV Deluxe in stores after December for that reason.

For some reason Civ4 tends to crash to the desktop during wonder movies. Recently however I've had two consecutive occasions where, right after the game zoomed in on a city where I'd just built the Pyramids, it crashed my entire system and gave me a weird kind of BSoD I'd never seen before.

Ah well. The rest of the game is OK though IMO

There has never been any computer software that has been released without bugs. There has never been any computer hardware that has been released without bugs.

Period.

Here's some of Intel's latest known hardware errors and they seem to have no intention of fixing.

They are just an example of why I say "no hardwarew or software is bug free".

Ragnorak: Everybody else here is pointing out examples of how games in the past have been just as bugged as modern games, or how it isn't just games that are released with "bugs."

Could you please make references to the games that have these horrible game destroying bugs you are referring too?

Bungie made a game that would reformat your hard drive. I forget what it was called, it was some version of myst I think. Anyway, that would not only ruin that game, but ruin all my other games installed.

-----So, I assume that SEV is approaching it's final release form.

Now Ragnorak, how are those bugs any worse then bugs in the past? I mean, I can think of hundreds of games with bugs that are just as bad that were released over my life time. Hell, The Legend of Zelda: Links awakening had a bug were sometimes it would crash and when you restarted the game all the castles would be marked as completed so you couldn't finish your saved game and that was on the NES.

I once made a bugless 'Guess-my-number' program.

It even had two difficulty levels.

So it releases... after my birthday. Swell.
