    I have an error to point out. this thread.

    The devs are aware and are fixing it asap. no need for "joint discussion" on something that is being fixed as we speak.

    Im one of those who cant play, so no, Im not saying this because im in the game.

    <b>Feedback</b>

    I'm having this wierd issue with Precaching.

    i have a Amd X6 1090T with 8 gb DDR3 memory,
    SSD drive, and 2x Radeon 68701GB Crossfire.

    it takes about 2 minutes for the Precaching to complete and im able to play,
    my friend that has a intel core duo, with a regular HDD, and a 5870 card loads in about 40 sec,

    That's pritty wierd to me, However if i Alt+Tab during Precaching the Precaching ends and im able to play (or crashes)

    i Agree that the devs are working on it, but what exactly are they working on?
    a fix for the crashes, or speeding it up, or somthing else.

    Just thought it wuld e a good idéa to point out for the devs, so they get as much feedback ass possiable.

    There is a bug report option when you crash, they announced in twitter that they are working on the precaching (the biggest issue at the moment, not sure what you mean by "speeding it up") and will fix it asap today.


    Also, the problem is pretty random. alt tabbing has no effect. if you bring up the console while loading, you can tell if you will have a sucessful load or not by just seeing how many errors you get and on what items.

    Did you read the twit from NS right after that one?

    where it says they are solving the issue today?


    You started off with the wrong foot. encouraging whinefests will not get you any possitive feedback here. whining gets you nowhere. If you wanted to do something helpful. compile all error reports into a sinle text file and post it here, that would help, wouldnt it? then again, the reports are numerous, what we see here is not even a fraction of what was sent to UWE via bug report, Im sure they have enough txt files and enough forum posts.

    Not trying to be an ###### here, but creating MORE threads to a problem already overreported will not help at all.
