Just a plea for a few deep breaths and calmness. The real enemy is the shield bug, not each other, and it may be time to accept that there isn't going to be a magic fix that can be modded (or at least, not one that is going to make everyone happy).

That's ok though. I'll wait for the CA patch and until then Lusted's LTC will keep me playing.

Well done the_foz_4 and others who have worked so hard finding and then trying to overcome the bug. Now .... relax.
