We need more bug fixes, so this is very welcome. I don't know if anyone else has been getting this problem, but I haven't been able to go into windowed mode lately -- I just hear a system beep instead (the same beep you hear when you click on a window that can't get focus in Windows XP).
Oh, and don't assume that just because the patch is fixing one problem (supposedly), that it should take a short amount of time to do:
* When they take the game servers offline, they probably take a lot of time running diagnostics on them to make sure that they're in top shape. Depending on what they choose to do, this alone can take hours.
* They might do database backups.
* They might deploy server operating system patches.
* They have to extensively test the newly patched client on the production network before the users get to log on.
So, no matter how simple or lacking in terms of game changes the patch may seem, there's a lot of work that has to be done under the hood regardless. I'll be asleep, so take all the time you need, Nexon.
