Hehe, life can be funny. I am currently on travel and just hop in here on the fly. Don't know what devil has ridden my back to jump into the DW forum after so long a time. I played SC and fought with it's technical state for over a year until their final patch solved most decisive issues, at least I considered them decisive, while most of the community was more forgiving. But then my interest already had faded significantly, and while then having a worth to be played SC, I did not any more.

Then came DW, and the same thing repeated, together with the same old graphics engine (although that did not concern me too much), which told me that they had not learned from their earlier mistakes. This time it just took months before I lost interest in DW. The idea and concept is great, the execution is - well, sub-optimal, to put it that way, or '"not convincing".

Regarding the poll: "bad programming" my choice. It's really a shame.

But they set up a benchmark manual. I really loved it. But I doubt that I will ever reinstall DW again, despite my attraction by that electronics environment. Huge potential - but wasted. So much was lost, due to not adding so little more.
