EA and Patching

[Nikumba]

This rant relates to C&C 3

EA have released 2 patches in as many days is utterly ****ing stupid. The 1.07 patch comes out which is ~200Mb, 1.08 is 216Mb!!! all to fix a issue with ONE UNIT!!!! Why the **** do they need a patch that size to fix a cockup like that??

I mean I know EA are terrible at getting games right but this borders on why the hell do EA make games any more?

Ok i can accept that, however when 1.08 address one issue, so why not just release an incremental patch?

The fact 1.07 came out on the 24th/25th Aug then 1.08 comes out 28th Aug thats 400Mb of patches in 3/4 days which is just stupid and how that bug got through patch testing is beyond me

I know it doesnt take long, but my gripe is, they missed this in the 10 mins of beta testing they did for the 1.07 patch. And since 1.08 only address one issue I think it is stupid to include the previous fixes
