Hi guys, sorry for joining this party so late.
The issue with endurance is being discussed in at least one other thread (
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/showthread.php?t=124338).
Apart from that, while there are some debates about strategy, I'm not sure there are any technical support issues in this thread.As Mr Bill said, it's pretty anecdotal at this point.
On top of this, the new patch is out today, so I'm going to move this over to the Closed/Claimed Fixed forum for now.
If you continue to see issues like this after applying the patch, we're happy to discuss further.
