How can I be playing something that hasn't been released? Obviously I'm reporting a bug in the current version of the game, which is v3.0.226.993, and not some future release that I know nothing about.
Just thought I would ask, there was a beta for the DE on consoles.
And no, reporting a bug is not pointless. If the classic edition will remain available for purchase and playing, the bug should be fixed regardless of any other editions. Either way, I can't possibly know whether this bug will be fixed in the next patch (edition, whatever), especially if it hasn't been reported before. So I don't find this pointless.
Thanks for your input.
Judging by Larian's history, the classic version will remain available for playing, but NOT for purchase (although it might come free with a purchase of the DE). The DE will not be a patch, but a separate game, a new entry in your Steam/GoG library.
Larian does use new editions to fix a lot of bugs, but they do not indefinitely patch their older games just because people can still play them. Dragon Commander had a pending patch cancelled so they could work on DOS 1 and they have done nothing with it since. There are still bugs in other games, such as the "no music in boss fights" bug in the DOS 1 EE.
I was not saying that you should not be reporting the bug, just that it's quite possible that Larian has already fixed that in the DE (which does NOT mean they'll back-port the bug fix back to Classic.)
