Just going to bed having been enjoying a fairly trouble free night of mtw online.

Heres the bugs.

1) In game disconnects still happen at their usual rate.

2) Lobby disconnects didnt happen at all (theses where the worst for me)

3) Black screen when the game loaded and all players where at 100% and present. All could chat but the game didnt start. Not sure why. The host rebooted and launched the server again and it worked fine. Might be fragged memory.

4) Server list still doesnt show all servers when a game ends either normally or when a host quits.We still find our selves logging out and back in again.

5) Exiting from multiplayer under winxp started to cause the game to lockup forcing a reboot before the patch. I have just quit out successfully without problems with the patch install. Will test it in single player another day, that was a 100% lockup every time i quit before. I will know for definate if its fixed after a quick test.

6)Login times are slightly better but still very long (the guys liked my 56ker joke in relation to these long logins hehe).

7) I played MTW online for 4 hours solid without a reboot. No crashes to the desktop at all. I think this must be a bug as I used to like that random auto return to desktop feature

8) The pings for all games where actually reasonable tonight. Might be the patch, might be the time of night I played. I just logged out so this time stamp on this post should give you and idea of the time i was playing. The server list was short all night though, but all servers had pings of less than 250. Which is unheard of in the MTW lobby for me.

Personally i think multiplayer is a lot better, still not 100% but definately better.

Bed time for me now, the suns coming up already.
