[QUOTE="Nik Barbour, post: 10976"] With an older android device, I've started getting a sense of dread with every DLC release. You sit there whilst it's downloading thinking "what's this going to break, and how long until it'll be fixed" or "will it even get fixed". Dlc 2 busted all the tables (thread starvation issue - when Kindle fire was catered for), and if I hadn't had Titanium Backup I wouldn't have been able to play for 2 weeks till the fix was released. Dlc 3 has bust Funhouse (one of my favourites) and introduced various degrees of lag into all tables (suspected - texture optimisation plan, which wasn't limited to Tegra only devices). (This has been reported and is being considered). Don't get me wrong, I'm a Farsight Fan so will put up with pretty much anything, and Ryan (lead Android dev) is one the most communicative and helpful devs I've ever seen, but non "Fan-boys" are not going to put up with something they have paid fair money for, only working 3 weeks out of 5. And this is a business that to has to succeed to survive for us to play. Farsight obviously aren't doing enough beta testing, early enough so changes can be made, on a wide enough variety of devices!
