Quote: "But if you had the bugs I was getting, I think you'd be understanding what I'm trying to say. But yeah, I understand. And I would send you the .fpm but WAY too much custom media. Actually there is like 50 different models in there and only 5 are stock."
If I was trying to run a program on a machine that doesn't even meet minimum spec I would expect these errors and woule either
a. Update my machine
b. stop using said software
or
c. Not complain as it is expected to run poorly on my machine due to the low performance specs of my machine.
So, no you didn't understand what I was talking about. Basically this, this software has a minimum specification that needs to be met to run this software. Ok, now that we both understand that let's look at the problem.
Scenario A.
Frank has a machine that meets all of the minimum specs to run a pice of software. He has bugs and he reports them. The development team then uses his bug reportts to help locate and generate a fix for said bug reports.
The development team knows his specs are to the standard perscribed for the program. They know that Franks computer can handle all of the hardware draws that they have in the program. So the create a fix for the bug that was reported.
Scenario B.
Godzirra has a machine that does not meet the perscribed minimum requirements for said software. Godzirra is experiencing many problems, he generates a bug report and submits it to the developers.
The developers look at the bug report and start generating a fix for it. Unaware of the specs from said system the bug report was generated from. Developers release a fix for said bug report and the general public install the fix expecting it to be productive. When all is said and done it is more of a down grade than a fix.
Do you understand now? I am trying not to be condescending towards you Jenkins. You should know that when a program has minimum specs listed for it's use, they have listed them for a reason, and I am betting that those reason are valid ones. I am sorry that FPSC is bugging out on your machine but it would be like me emailing the creators of doom three and demanding a fix for the program just because I decided to use a 286 cpu.
So all in all unless or until you can or do bring your system up to specs there is not alot that anyone can do to help you. We (the people who would help you) would not be able to reproduce your problems because of PC spec differences. it's a sad fact, but it's the truth. I think for the most part your going to be stuck with the majority of your bugs until your machine is upgraded.
