Drum roll please.... The Verdict on the patch is......!
Comments
You are seriously asking in the wrong place. This forum is full of nothing but haters and people who aren't even playing the game. Want a quick summary from someone who is? It fixed some glaring issues, performance has increased a bit more, naturally the game still needs some work but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
I want to know as well. DId the patch help much and if it did what did it help.
How about ER forums?

Or are those full of haters too?
I don't see the point you're trying to make... But thanks for trying.
Not really suprised you don't see the point. Your fanboism blinds you too much.
You said "fixed some glaring issues".
Desynch persists, Serious Lag remains, Instant Logoff Tactics still viable. As stated in the official forums by people who are playing the game.
Which of the glaring issues was fixed? oh you must be talking about /unstuck. Huge progress.
So still a laggy mess?
Lol the hate on this board is truly amazing. Did i even say they fixed everything? I said they fixed some glaring issues, but the game naturally still needs work. Why are you claiming im a fanboy? lol. Why don't you read the patch notes, and tell me where it says ''desync completely fixed' and 'lag completely gone'. Or does your ignorance blind you too much?

Looking good, but I'm still going to wait a little bit longer before taking the plunge into this game. Hopefully they will have a trial soon.
Well the patch did what it said on the tin, the game runs smooth for me with no lag as of yet. Haven't had any desync issues since the patch either, I feel sorry for those that have bought the game and are getting lag issues. I guess if you want to help you might try and work it out with MHS and help improve the game for others.
As for the fanbois accusations, no one is pretending ER is something it isn't. The game has a long way to go and that's a fact anyone who tried it out before launch or read these forums would have known before purchase. Things are improving and MHS does seem to give a s***, everyone has been given an extra month sub for free so let's take a chill pill. The free sub will hopefuly take us into vehichles and siege warfare.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

Was in game yesterday. Still runs like crap.
Really sad if you are actually playing this game and think its good in any way tbh. Such a joke I payed for this rubbish.
Just logged in after patch too, its still crap. Performance issues should've been looked at before they went live.
By the way, this guy ^^ is well known as Kole on old ER forums ( just some inside info any of you might be interested in)
