game crash at 5% V2.0 ***Got it working***

[A Canadian Cat]

If i knew about this bug i wouldn't have bought the 2.00 upgrade,but waited until MG. BFC really screwed up this one.

+1 to that. Even without the QB crash, the crew served weapons with wondering crew members bug is much worse in 2.0. I have multiple British mortar crews doing odd things just jogging through tall grass.

How was it possible,i wonder,for all those testers to miss something obvious like this?

Short answer: some change came late that caused the problem and the testing that was done on the final build did not cover all the bases.

It shows all the signs of an development process that does not put enough emphasis on quality. Since there are multiple ways to play the game (WEGO, RT, PBEM, hot seat, network, Quick battles, scenarios etc. - and all the combinations there of) every build they produce should the run through some basic "does it all run without crashing" tests before any one in QC even gets to see the build. Usually the desire is to automate those test but they do not have to be.

Any way I suggested that this kind of thing would help on the forums and was soundly dismissed. Even when I pointed out they would have caught the barbed wire bug and the 5% QB crash bug. Sigh.
