...and much to my disappointment this game has apparently not improved in the 3 or 4 months since my last post.

I look over the forums and see the same problems, same complaints, there's no sign of a patch. Currently I am playing Shadowbane which is a little buggy, on their forums people are going crazy about how unstable the game is, I just laugh and think "these people have obviously never played SFC3 -- then they would know REAL frustration."

That game runs like a 2003 Honda compared to this 1982 Chrysler of a game... fine Corinthian leather notwithstanding.

I really love this game but judging from the posts I'm reading here, nothing has changed for months. I've been getting my fix playing EAW. I can't say I miss the maddening unreliablity of SFC3 at all. I have to say this is the most disappointing game I have ever purchased in terms of expectations:reality. After taking a break from the game for a few months and "stepping back" from it all, it is glaringly obvious that this game is somewhere in the far reaches of the remote galaxy in terms of priority to the developers, and that the only reason anyone plays it anymore is because of the efforts of individual players.

Before I came back to the forum, I actually reinstalled the game on my system and was thinking of giving it another shot, could anyone direct me to the latest mod of choice? I have a clean install, haven't even done the DX9 patch or the beta patch yet (if it's even still available.)

Hi to a few names I remember: SghnDubh, Tulmahk, Suleo, Azraeal, Fluf, Queball, Korah... many others but it's been a while you know.

Maybe I'll see you guys online sometime soon, maybe not... anyway gl/gh <S> etc. etc.

Try out the TNZ mod from Battleclinic.com and see if you feel any better. Also, Taldren has posted in the news somewhere that they have not stopped working on a final patch, so if we can hang on, it will get here eventually.

P.S.
Nice to see you around here again.

Shadowbane IS fun. But come on, the Beta Patch fixes the vast majority of problems.

And SHADOWBANE is plenty buggy! I've run halfway across the map just to end up back where I started via lag spike! I've been instantly killed via lag spike! I've lost con to server and come back at level 1!

I know, I know, I still play the damned thing. Bloody great game.

SFC is no worse than shadowbane, believe me.

Get TNZ! It owns!

SirWilliam, sir!

Your punishment for being away for so long will be to Kiss the Gunner's Daughter! You will Kiss the Gunner's Daughter, sir! Don't make me throw your breadfruits overboard, and be glad I don't assign you to captain a fire ship!

As to mods, you know TNZ is still #1. It's even more #1 than it was last you saw. But DON'T install the DirectX 9 patch OR the movie patch! Apply only the Beta patch, otherwise it will cause stability problems.

It is good to see a gentleman warrior such as yourself around here again. Hope to see you online!

Ha, would be worth getting back in to the game just for the personalities on the forum. And how could I have forgotten to send a greeting to Mentat, heh, a very memorable character indeed.

OK the gunner's daugher has been duly kissed, Tulmahk, and my backside is smarting. Perhaps over the weekend I will give this game another shot.

In the meantime, beat to quarters and clear for action! Federation cruisers sighted on the starboard quarter!
