Did you not see that we are working on bug fixes??? We can't just wave a magic wand and fix everything instantly. Many bugs just don't show up until the game is released to the public. Play 4.1 if you prefer. We only did this 4.2 to fix some bugs in 4.1 to make it nicer while you are waiting for HD. One big problem is people not realizing 4.2 is not an update pack for 4.1. It is a complete replacement and needs to be kept completely separate from 4.1. I have seen Linux users talking about sharing the q3ut4 folder with both 4.1 and 4.2. Doing this will cause a lot of problems. For some reason this didn't happen with 4.0 and 4.1 which were completely separate installs as well.

i am aware you advertised 4.2 and released a 4.2 beta which pissed off quite a few players .. i wasn't asking for an explanation why the game might not work if installed in the same folder but wanted to know if there is a timeframe for the release of 4.2.1 or 4.2.1. beta or whatever it's gonna called or gonna be .. maybe you can give us an exact date ..maybe take a wild guess... maybe you don't know at all ... some sort of answer or the attempt to answer would be appreciated

The whole game should be considered to be in a state of perpetual beta until the developers specify otherwise.

Yes, it is annoying to have the community split into 4.1 and 4.2, but that has more to do with people spending 10 minutes in 4.2 and then ragequitting than the developers not fixing stuff. And yes, I'm aware that with the current bugs 4.2 is not yet suited for league play, which is a big reason why it's not widely adopted and 4.1 abandoned, however the promised fixes (or at least the most important ones, like those relating to server crashes and exploitable bugs like crouch animations) should come before leagues start, I guess/hope.

On another note, I'm seeing several active servers in 4.2 almost every evening. Not as many as there are for 4.1, but there are choices.

Would FS consider releasing a partial fix soon, and another one in a couple of weeks ?

A pack with a lot of bugfixes (including the server crash fix) is currently being tested by the team. We'll release it as soon as possible - it means in (one or) a few days. Thanks for your patience.

I have about 10 servers to convert from 4.1 to 4.2, which I intend to do once I see that 4.2 is stable enough to avoid crashing many times per day.
