King of Trolls? Hardly!
I don't take any offence at being labeled a troll (Who would have thought that anyone outside of CBH would have labeled me a troll on Apolyton!), but it's pretty sad when one who openly admits that they have yet to form an opinion with respect to game play of MoO3 can be labeled a troll.
I could understand if only GeForce2 cards could not play the game without DX errors, or that {alt}{tab}ing, losing focus, too many saved games, etc. produced the DX errors. But when software being billed as a finished product can manage to take a extremely robust API (Bink) and manage to mangle the programming code to produce DX errors just by the mere act of passively watching the intro for more than 3 minutes; it gets me a little irritated. When I am told by some ignorant fanboy (along with 80 other people reporting the same thing) that this is nothing more than my imagination; well, I get really mad.
Just because I’m not a mindless zombie who shuts up and tows the party line, or because I can read a code dump from a debugger pinpointing the error within the program, I earn the title “troll”. Fact is, my system, as well as all the others who listed their system’s specs on the IG board, all fall within the minimum “System Requirements” as laid out on outside of the box, as well as on page 13 of the manual! I feel that we consumers have the right to a logical explanation, or a patch that works, or a full refund, period!
If you have to label me something, then I prefer to be know as “Leader of the ARF” (Atari Resistance Front).

Sigh. This reminds me that I haven't seen a good poll in this forum in quite a while.
