As of right now there are no outstanding issues of OS crashing the game.
Why don't you consider the Xfire issue to be "outstanding"?
Yeah right. It doesn't make it anymore complex other than copying two more files into your maps folder. Don't sensationalize it.
The Xfire thing is probably something that can be resolved. It's actually a problem with them - not OS. The hooks are a part of DirectX. If they interfere with that, then that's an issue with them. They should make sure their app is compatible with any configuration of any hooks anyone might have. What if OS came before Xfire's in-game overlay? Again, I hope it can be resolved. Personally, I know I would hate it if I had to close an app every time I wanted to play the game, especially if I want to broadcast or record.
What I mainly meant about no outstanding issues is that we know the causes of them. We know if you have Xfire open, it will conflict with OS. We know that the missing dll can be solved by downloading it. I think a crash caused by the instability of OS is much more significant, especially if there's no sign what is the cause of it.
Because we've known about this issue for a long time.Quote:

It's up to cmt what they want to do with thier mawd.
Do that many people really have a use for broadcasting in X-Fire? I know it's useful for Masters to give us exclusive sneak previews, but really, we don't gain much from those. Still pictures are good enough for many others and I, for the time being.
Just end the story with making both. That is what Arteen said, yet still everyone and their mom is still posting. Jcap, man, both versions...what's the problem? Loosen up a bit now.
HOWEVER. And that's a BIG however. I must see Masters say this himself before I'll believe it.
Um...since when was addressing a difference opinion harassing again?
I don't agree with either side..but we're all entitled to our own opinions, called free will..
Each map file depends on the two shared map files and the two dlls. I think we can safely assume that a significant portion of the CE userbase downloads only from HaloMaps. That's five sequential downloads just to play the first level, as opposed to one, and it's more intimidating to the novice user than just putting a single file in a folder. Dennis isn't the only webmaster I know who has made similar comments on how easy it is for the average user to be put off.Quote:

Considering how jcap has refused to let this issue go, posted a whole new thread because he didn't like CMT's decision, and has taken many opportunities to insult members of the team, I'd say it's fair to call that harassment. Most everyone else has been perfectly fine, and I have no issue with them regardless of their stance on OS.
so if I disagree with you more than once on the same subject it's harassment?
so if I make statements about me being unhappy with obama more than twice, I'm harassing the president?
Didn't know that..
And just how many people are going to be downloading just one level?Quote:

Two concurrent downloads for one level. Oh dear god I don't think my pea brain can handle it. :saddowns:
Plus, this would lay out a framework for future CMT multiplayer releases. Would prefer to download a 20-30MB map instead of a 70+ MB one.
