The point is that there was NO NEED to do it the way they did. It was a "gee whiz, let's use this here newdamnfangled dotnet cheezywhitchits so we look kewl with der latest techie trends" move.Originally Posted by Aamer Khan
There's MILLIONS of lines of working, optimized, and time-tested codebases out there that do what they are trying to do, and the vast majority of them don't need .NET OR ActiveX to work. But, instead of using something that works, they opted to take a big gamble. Well, the bets are in, the horses are running, and Gluemaker.NET is falling behind. No surprise. Right now, if I was the project manager for the new patcher, someone's arse would be scorching, right there with my own.

The main thing is as the patcher gets a few bugs worked out of it that everyone try it until everyone can use it. Only then can we move along. For those just using the old patcher it will not help anybody unless when the patcher is updated you try again. [8-|]

If SOE, Valve, and half a zillion other companies can get a patcher that doesn't require further reduction of already questionable security then so can AE/TG. What they are asking us to do to run the new patcher is unreasonable and unsafe.

You listed good points. I guess that because I have never had these kinds of issues with any other game, I haven't dug for those kinds of posts. My reply would be the same to them as it is to AE/TG, but your point is still just as valid.Originally Posted by Stranyr
Kinda like that whole invasion of privacy upraor with Blizzard and Starcraft.
Other than the irresponsability that could lead the user to cut themselves off from the internet, which is pretty lame all by itself, I do not see a security issue here. Did I miss the point, or was it about the special settings and not about security?Originally Posted by Stranyr

That one just came up in my search and I thought it was much too funny that they could possible have a problem with a router that required reseting it to defaults... why not just have the person change the item in question
(I have worked with these routers and they react the same as any other linksys router up to firmware version 1.50.18 which has an MTU issue, and you have to go back to 1.50.9 to fix it)
That is an example of an Unreasonable request IMO (reset your router to defaults it will work fine then?)

Yea, it is pretty amusing really :) I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something, but that note you found did make me laugh :)
Troubleshooting router issues can really suck too, even while you are right there. I have had to do it remotely in a few select instances, so I really can't imagine how much it must suck for AE/TG to have to figure this stuff out. Throw in the fact that they are using some third party software, and now you get the joy of deciding if it is user configuration, developer configuration, or a bug in the tool itself (and have no source probably to debug it).
