Why has no attempt been made to fix bugs?

Sep 14, 2003 18:03 Why has no attempt been made to fix bugs?
It's always the same damn thing.....join a game and at some point, the lgm refuses to build anymore. He just won't. I can't believe this is not fixable. Has anyone bothered to look into this very common problem? I don't believe it is JUST lag. How could lag prevent lgm commands if it allows tank drive and fire commands?

i dunno lag and lgms just dont mix......u send ur lgm out and u gotta wait 5 seconds before it starts to move...it reallly annoying :? :shock:

I learned this is the 'panic bug'. Funny name. Apparently not fixable, because wouldn't someone have tried to already?

Why do you say there has been no attempt made? And who says it is not fixable? I believe both of these things to be false.

FYI I HAVE broadband with a home run cable line (pole to pc) and an extremely clean operating system on a fast system with very little software and zero programs running on startup.

I say 'no attempt' because I see exactly the same problems with winbolo as I saw on Macbolo. 7 years......and gee, darn. Still all those bugs.

A few points: To say "no attempt has been made to correct" is disrespectful and completly incorrect. I have seen winbolo progress version to version and the bugs and errors get less consistently. You should play with the older versions if you think this is so so bad. And don't even compare it to bolo, I was on my universities network and almost always had major lag on the mac.

You may have a good connection, but if you are playing with others with a bad connection, lag errors can happen. I get them every once and awhile on my good connection, and the bug will go away by itself many times if you wait it out.

And if you want this fixed I assume you have sent a detailed bug report to Elvis? I know for a fact that Elvis spends a ton of time on development, which is more then bolo ever got, so show a bit of respect and restraint, he doesn't have to do this.

The bug report form is here: http://www.lgm.com/winbolo/mail.cgi

Of course, we wouldn't want to piss off the developer, would we? I shall henceforth be content and complain no more.
