As far as I would love the idea I'd still say no because of the reasons said already.

The WaR('@')'s are almost entirely a 2142 Clan (we started that way) and we just branched into the FS Mod.

The problem with reverting back to 1.40 is that you are asking EVERYONE (2142 & FS) to Uninstall their game, re-install, download patches, install patches, reset their settings, listen to the annoying "help" tutorials and use up more hard drive space by having to maintain separate install directories.

Seems more of a problem and you may lose interested parties to your AWESOME MOD!

Mind you that I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about modding but I think that maybe the best thing to do is to try to find a way to fix the probs.

My 2 cents anyways.

Yeah, I'm of the opinion of biding time. I think we can all agree that our interest in this modification and what it seeks to inject into gaming is strong, even if we don't play the mod on a regular basis. But forcing people to do some fairly time-consuming things may alienate some fringe playerbase to the point of losing them permanently. And the word of mouth from players we lose won't help us at all.

Let's wait for a patch, either on the BF2142 side (there's strong evidence that there will be another patch, including more community content), or with First Strike finding a solution to the problem and releasing a fix for the mod. More people will play when a new version is released, just a question of how many we lose before that. I think we need to keep the loss number as low as possible.

You devs aren't about to give up on us just because we've a small player base, or that the engine support isn't perfect, are you?
