Yea you can't assume that all bugs are from a lack of testing. Perhaps they tested the hell out of it and never reproduced these problems. Weak flippers suck but it doesn't sounds like everyone can reproduce it. I'm still on 1.05 for now. Thankfully the initial code release was solid.
Quoted from thall17:Boy I would love a bug update/patch...how hard can it be?
Unless one is a developer with some insight into the code, one isn't capable of answering "how hard can this be?" So let's start here. How hard is it for you to fix the intermittent and random problems most can't reproduce yourself?
Quoted from Whysnow:better question would be "How hard is it to properly test new code updates to ensure you dont put out 2 most recent versions with major issues, which have intermittent issues that many are experiencing?"
I mean really... Who are the real world beta testers? Are they not concerned with these issues, the issues not arrising on their games, or are they not observant enough to see these issues? The answer to all of these is to obviously roll out beta runs of code to MORE people with more games and more eyes.
I have offered many times to assist and send all issues directly to the manufacturer/coder to help (and refrain from discussing it publicly), but nothing but snarky replies. I would genuinely like to help!
Dude, after reading your pinside stuff I wouldn't trust you with beta code for a second. Sorry but that's how it is.
But that aside, it might be very hard to properly test the code especially problems that are intermittent and only appear on a small portion of user machines such as an intermittent weak left flipper. Problems like broken video mode should have been obvious, though.
People that aren't developers should refrain from the "this seems easy to fix" discussion though. They have no basis for determining difficultly. Of course that doesn't change the fact that it should be fixed.
