I had the game crash for me in v23 IIRC. I had a brand new computer and OOTP was the only game that crashed it. I would be playing out a game and the sound would suddenly cut out and within about 3 seconds the computer would crash to a cold reboot. I posted in the tech forum describing the problem and asking for ideas.
Matt and the team asked for details and the crash log from the game. Their feeling was it was an issue with my computer and not OOTP, despite the fact that OOTP was the only app that caused the crash.
Even though they thought it was my rig and not OOTP they offered many things to try to help me out. They even gave me a Steam code to try when I questioned if it might be something with how my computer interacted with the Fast Spring version. I'm pretty sure they knew this would do nothing for me, but did it anyway.
Remember I said OOTP was the only app that crashed my new computer? Well that was true until it wasn't. After about 8 weeks of OOTP being the only app that caused a crash a different app, that I had run many times, did it too.
It wasn't OOTP, it was the computer.
Matt and the team were right all along, it wasn't OOTP, and yet they had still tried to help.
The end story is I had to send in the computer three times to the manufacturer before they gave up trying find the cause let alone fix it. Hell, they couldn't even get it to crash. After those three times they sent me a new computer. No crashes of any kind from that point on.
The reason it matters you are an army of one is because you choose to be an army of one. It doesn't matter if you have a $4,000 super rig or a $400 economy rig, the game doesn't run on your system. Simple as that. You've turned down many offers to try to help and instead went with the "woe is me" tactic. That's on you. With that in mind I see no reason to care.
