Tend I'm happy to see that they released a patch for this.


Still broken though. not gonna be fixed for months.


Doubt that. They could, if they wanted to, fix it in the next patch. But, they'd have to REALLY want to fix it because not only will it take a lot of their time, but it will be a huge patch. Which, I wouldn't care for because it would fix it.
