Dude, im afraid WinSPMBT is not SPCammo project...

Well... I just can't understand this delay. The patch "has been uploaded, the PR copy has been checked and OK'd" by 09/21. Today it is 09/23. If I had the patch already uploaded, it would take me 15 minutes, tops, to get it posted on my website. Personally, I wouldn't like to keep my customers waiting... But this is just me...

EDIT: This is NOT directed to Don or Andy. Their work is done and in the most satisfactory way anyone could expect. The critic is directed at the Shrapnel Games staff.

Oh well... we need to keep on refreshing...

Exactly!!! This is the reason why middle men suck! Hey Shrapnel remove head from butt and spend the 15minutes putting the patch up for godsake!

scJazz and M256,

Shrapnel has nothing to do with any delay in the time of release of the patch.
I would also like to inform you that Shrapnel is doing an excellent work in supporting WinSPMBT, so please (you and anyone else) think twice before making statements that not only are wrong but they are also insulting hard working people.
I am sure that you gentlemen will reconsider your statements.

regards,
Pyros

You can't blame anyone who was not adequately informed about the situation for not understanding why things are happening the way they are.

Given this fact, I can't see why to reconsider anything.

People might consider that it would be appropriate just to behave nicely to one another! Sadly, like bad drivers, anonymity breeds boorishness. If we were talking face to face we'd be buying each other beers and commiserating about last minute gotchas in our lives, too.

I too have been waiting and checking for the patch, but if it's not ready tonight, so be it. I'll just check back and see who remains boorish

In 15 years of IT related work (I'm sure this happens in other fields as well I've just never done anything else)I've continuously bumped into the middle man problem. Faster faster get the project done, work 30 hours straight and it is done, wait 3 days for the middleman to actually do something useful with the work I performed so feverishly.

Therefore it is with no surprise that I would lash out at a perceived middleman problem.

What is annoying is that instead of just simply ignoring my misinformed comment because it was misinformed it gets raised to the level of an "issue that will be monitored". It would have been easier to just let it slide because I was mistaken. Instead I'm turned into a paraiah. Gee thanks guys!

best post on this topic yet.

as you all know from your own lives, crap happens. when we focus on the crap it just takes an unfortunate situation and makes it even worse.

with that, I think I'll go have a beer and play some battlefield 2....

Actually wouldn't it still be a CAMO product? Don and Andy are essentially CAMO Group, Shrapnel is a Publisher although I know they probably provided some technical support.
