[extrabox]1. Make it so that I don't have to register with your forum to be able to read responses to topics, I'd really LIKE to try your mod, but unfortunately it appears to have been coded by 12 year old's and support for installation was written by someone from Romania, and when I get on the forums I can't find out how to fix it because you require registration, that's called bullshit. I don't want to register to your forum, sorry, I just want to read a few things to get the game working, is that so hard to understand. Imagine you download a game, install it, it doesn't work, you're now already kind of peeved, and then you go "aah! I'll just check out the forums, I'm sure my question has been answered there!" and then you are reading topics and going "hmm, doesn't really seem like anybody actually responds to these people's posts, maybe these guy's don't give a shit. "oh wait, it says here that I must sign up to see posts..." DONE. Not worth my time, you already wasted my time, now you want me to sign up for your bullshit? Ya right...[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]2. The mod is difficult to install. Yes, I said it. Despite all of your instructions (which are impossible to read and understand because the English is HORRIBLE) I have installed numerous FL mods in the past, all run with no issues, yet, I install yours and it just crashes, hangs, or has no text in game, just blank boxes to click on. Great. [/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]3. This is probably the 5th time in the last 2 years that I have tried to install a version of your mod and became SO goddamn frustrated with the forums, the shitty instructions, and the continuous failures of the game to work, I have decided I do NOT want to try your mod.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]Sorry. It's just too much hassle. Maybe try having someone that speaks native English or isn't a basement dwelling Lurch write the instructions.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]Also, I talked to my friend that keeps recommending this to me, and he just told me he got to some of the final missions and they were LITERALLY so bugged he couldn't even finish. What is the point of putting out a mod that after looking at some forum posts, becomes completely obvious that it doesn't even work correctly for most people attempting it.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]I mean I realize you're not charging for the game, but take it from someone that used to make SP campaigns for Half-life back in the day.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]DO NOT RELEASE STUFF UNTIL IT IS FINISHED, not MOSTLY finished, ALL THE WAY finished.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]Otherwise you lose your fan base, why? Because they tried it and it sucked and the odds of them coming back plummet.[/extrabox]
[extrabox]
[/extrabox]
[extrabox]Basic video game stuff here guys.

1. Insults and demands is something we dont like to see in our community... so i think it is good if you dont register. You started your mail quiet well to disqualify for that.
The mod was written for the members of a community... and those which wish to become part of it. You obviously dont want to be part of it.[/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox]2. Mod installation is fairly simple... that of course if you can read the installation instructions that are part of the mod. Considering that the mod has been meanwhile installed on ten thousands of PCs and we got no complaints I can only assume that the english is good enough for all the others.[/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox]3. I would give you an advice. Don't try a 3rd time.[/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox]4. The missions are not bugged at all.... but again... it depends on if people can follow simple instructions or not.[/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]And a simple google search for "Crossfire won't work" reveals over 3,456,000 search results, I went through about 20 pages of google searches and they were ALL about the issue that I'm having, I'm sure some of the results are just simple keywords, but come on, this is not "only me" that is having this issue.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]A search for "Crossfire missions are bugged" has almost JUST AS MANY search results.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]Pull your head out of your ass, MILLIONS of people HAVE TRIED to install your mod and failed, I in fact found a DEDICATED WEBSITE for people that WANT to play your mod but can't get it to install or work, there are over 25,000 members.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]Anyways, good luck with that I guess...

I did read your original mail, I just don't care about how often you have failed to read the instructions and install the mod.
I also don't care about your google search because of the simple reason that you don't seem to be able to read.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]These 3.456.000 results either are about the Crossfire game (developed by SmileGate in Korea) or to the even larger part about the ATI Crossfire graphic cards.
There is infact just one website on the google search which is about the bug in the Crossfire mod and that one leads to the development boards of the SWAT Portal where these bugs were already fixed 1 year ago.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]To claim that millions wanted to install my mod and failed is absurd. I know very well how many times my mod was downloaded and how many of them got it to work.
Your numbers are plain wrong and for a person who complains about our english skills your reading skills are just terrible.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]DO yourself a favor, do the search yourself, once again, if you had ACTUALLY fucking read what i sent you. The first 20 pages of the 346,000,000 WERE in reference to your mod, in fact, I only went 20 pages, it was probably more. I also added "crossfire 1.9 freelancer mod won't install" WITH QUOTES and still got over 12,000 results. SO ya, maybe it's not millions, but it IS thousands. Oh, and here's the kicker, I have a friend that IS IN LOVE with your mod, he codes his own freelancer mods, is quite the technical genius, and he was making fun of me because I could not get it to install. So, having installed it himself and gotten it to work, he came over, we uninstalled, reinstalled the game FRESH, re-downloaded the Mod, (according to him, was to make sure I was doing it right) HE installed it the SAME way I did, (He's done it so many times he didn't even need to reference your instructions, oh, and we did this LAST NIGHT just because your e-mails were pissing me off so bad, you know, claiming that a 15 year veteran of PC gaming can't figure out how to double click a fucking exe file) and guess what happened? NOTHING, the mod installed, and DOES NOT WORK, my buddy said "Huh..." and then went home, your MOD DOES NOT WORK, we even tried it on a 2nd PC this morning because Leeland FUcking Hinckle the biggest nerd on the planet, thinks it might be my PC. Did the same damn thing on the 2nd PC... Pffft.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]Your mod is shit. [/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]In fact, I found SEVERAL mod sites OTHER than the one were I actually downloaded your mod, and they EVEN FUCKING WARN the downloader that: "THis mod is known to cause game instability, please backup your save games, installation without doing so may result in loss of save games or corrupted game files"[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox](I'm now 44 pages deep in that google search, so far, it's still 95% about the CROSSFIRE 1.9 MOD, NOT amd and some German game ya fuckin dipshit)
[extrabox]"crossfire 1.9 freelancer mod won't install" leads to 0 results on google[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]I am not right sure what to think as you meanwhile claim that there are 346.000.000 pages about my mod. In your last mail it was just 3,456,000 so I must assume that all of a sudden 340 million pages appeared out of nowhere. WOW![/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]

[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]Well practically everyone who really tried it would disagree with that. It is the top rated Freelancer mod which got nominated for the annual mod awards 6 times in a row which practically reflects the quality of our work and what all the other players out there think about it.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]

[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]A warning?[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]Now thats even more weird as the Crossfire mod automatically makes backups of old savegames during the installation and removes them from the original savegame folder since they are incompatible with the mod.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]
[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
[extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox][extrabox]As long this mod exist (more than 7 years) it has never even tried to edit original savegames.[/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox][/extrabox]
