Unless the programmer can find errors in his programming, then it is very very difficult to correct one persons problem in running the sim....sometimes we get lucky though and someone will suggest a fix that works for one individual. That might not be the case for another.
Anyway, all one can do is keep trying to solve the problem himself. That may seem daunting but I learned the hard way. I have no formal training on software or hardware repair but just dove in and learned that way. Sure, I made a lot of errors but I also learned computers. It's like driving a car and not knowing at least the basics of how the engine works. With at least a working knowledge, you may be able to fix something while broke down along a back road somewhere in the middle of the night. Know what I mean.
So, no, there will never be a perfect bug free any kind of program for everyone. Just can't be with so many different setups being used by each individual.  |
I completely agree with your thoughts on bugs that are crashes and things like that. Personally, I have not experienced any like that. I was more meaning gameplay issues or features that aren't working as they were intended.
