Minidumps worse then ever

from Sins Forums

i thought we had sort of finally got rid of this problem, but i can't play a game anymore without someone dumping and or desyncing.  can we go back to the old patch for entrenchment, because the current entrenchment patch makes this game nearly unplayable and its frustrating.

i honest to god tried for 3 hours today to try and start a game, every time everyone restarted their clients, we tried upwards of 20 times and we didn't have one game go past 5 minutes.

do you guys have anything in the works to fix this??

Are you sending the minidumps to support@ironcladgames.com or sinssupport@stardock.com?

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\Sins Dump

Vista/7: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Sins Dump

 

Minidumps from Sins/Entrenchment should be submitted to support@ironcladgames.com; only those from Diplomacy should be sent to sinssuport@stardock.com.

Well, if its only been present sense the latest patch, I wouldn't be surprised (though it may not be likely) that its already been fixed. In this case, they are probably just waiting for diplomacy to come out before patching it (like the Illuminator fix).

the purpose of impulse and distributing updates via impulse was to enable the devs to push out updates in a quick and timely manner (2.5 months from last update).  The lum bug could have been easily fix by just change 1 number in 1 file.  It would be temp fix until they find the root problem.

I do my part and keep sending the dump files even though I'm not getting any responds other then the automated process.

Why would they wait to fix a bug that makes their game unplayable? I don't see any way they can profit from that kind of business practice. With Impulse it would be no problem for them to release a hotfix.
