he may be obnoxious, but he makes a valid point. starting a new game AFTER the patch is likely to not have any of the issues games in progress seem to be having.
Larian has noted that patches may or may not be able to correct issues within currently progressing games, depending where you are in the game.
I know how this is. I had this problem with Prince of Qin. Good game, but patches fixing something with multiplayer and then later with the single player, would break something new in the single player game. so i started over 3 times. i;m currently taking a break from my 3rd session, while i'm playing this one.
