IVJG4-Knight Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I had a discussion with someone about this . What do you think ? Thank you very much for taking the time to vote. Edited October 8, 2015 by IVJG4-Knight
AndyJWest Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Depends on what you mean by 'bug'. There are some things that computers simply can't do in the first place...

I don't want to elaborate too much and influence the voters.But what i mean is : A certain game has a bug and the players practice playing that game until ....
9./JG27golani79 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Surely not .. so I voted for "Nonsense"
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Sure. People are constantly telling others to train themselves to deal with inequities in the FMs of this game.
AndyJWest Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I don't want to elaborate too much and influence the voters.But what i mean is : A certain game has a bug and the players practice playing that game until .... So you are referring to a specific bug, but expect us to give an answer without telling us what it is. Pointless...
BraveSirRobin Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 This poll is meaningless gibberish. A bug is a flaw in the code. The only way it can be fixed is by changing the code. "Practice" has nothing to do with changing code. If you're talking about a "workaround" for a bug, that is a different issue. If that is the question, then you have to be more specific. Some bugs have workarounds, and some don't.
Gump Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 agree with BSR. i cant vote because the poll is too polarized on a question that is too vague dealing with a subject that can have a variety of effects and applications. . for instance, if a program crashes consistently after 1/2 hour of play, and is determined to be a code bug, that is not going to be 'adapted to', rather the game will be deserted. however, if a program glitches a sound file once in a blue moon, and it is determined to be a code bug, that would probably be adapted to by the players.
IVJG4-Knight Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Just so you know why i made this poll. I got banned from the Digital Combat Simulator forum by Sithspawn because i contradicted his post "Any bug can be resolved with practice" with eamples of problems from the game. If this poll would have gone the other way i would have apologized to him.
BraveSirRobin Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Sorry, but without more context this poll is meaningless. It doesn't contradict Sithspawn because the details of his post are more important than the title. It sounds like he was referring to workarounds for bugs, which are sometimes possible and sometimes not.

IVJG4-Knight Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I'm not saying the game is bad is has it's problems but it was worth my money.It was the moderator attitude that bothered me. He could have said "this will get fixed when .. we have time". Not say nonsense about a person's ability . I wish a late war DLC will be available for Il2 bos someday so i can experience the true power of the 109's 30 mm cannon :D . Edited October 10, 2015 by IVJG4-Knight

DD_Arthur Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Knight; you do understand that these boards, like the ED forum and other game sites belonging to devs are not a democracy? When you sign up you agree to a whole list of things that if you transgress the moderators are quite within their rights to delete and ban as they see fit? You might not like it but by signing up and registering you are agreeing to it.............................
AndyJWest Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 This seems to be a non-issue anyway. DCS are well aware that their damage modelling isn't up to scratch for WW2-type weaponry. This isn't news, and as far as I can see, nobody has disputed the fact.
BraveSirRobin Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Also, the issue that you're talking about may not be a bug, it may be a consequence of the game's design. It may be a design that you don't agree with, but that does not make it a bug.
IVJG4-Knight Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 On this forum i was free to criticize all i want .About BOS i mean.
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I too agree with BSR .... you can, in theory, learn to work around or ignore (though the latter is harder) the problem. But a BUG is a BUG and should be delt with. There is a BIG difference between a BUG and a design flaw. One is unintentional and the other, assumedly, is intentional or should I say, what they think it should be? Perhaps you can provide a link to this discussion in the DCS forums?

Chief I don't want to bash DCS I like it just as much as BOS. But I got aggravated by the condescending posts of the moderator"Any bug can be solved with practice" . And DCS had a bug( Now with version 1.5 it's resolved it's all fine.) that made the fps drop to below 10 when more than 2-3 plane were firing at the same time. This affected gameplay in MP a great deal (when more than a few of us were online). And in singleplayer the damage model needs a lot of work, + the ai planes have a different flight model than player controled planes. So knowing all that he posts "Any bug can be solved with practice". It's just insulting. And when I contradicted him in a polite way he deleted my post and banned me until 30 October and posts: "Any bug can be solved with practice" is a "very valid point" just to rub salt .....

AndyJWest Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah, going on about the same thing again and again when the developers have already said that they are aware of the problem is a sure-fire way to get banned, I'd have thought...

Well Thank you for posting your opinion on this little thread of mine. This is not about the Developers perhaps i was to harsh with my criticism as i have been on this forum.But I belive when someone says to you nonsense like "Any bug can be resolved with practice" i have the democratic right to contradict him in a polite way.That is all. And will not be posting on this thread anymore since i believe i made my point clear enough. Edited October 12, 2015 by IVJG4-Knight
