Hi Bryan, That's no great mystery. My downloads directories have always been public. I often point people there when I have a game on the server, but not an official link to the game. So apparently Hayri must constantly keep an eye out for my server so that as soon as a file shows up in my public downloads area he grabs it without waiting for any official word from the developer. This entire situation has definitely made me rethink my public download area setup. I'm strongly thinking of moving my games to a private area where snoopers won't be quite as eager to grab the files before I can change my mind or make some sort of official announcement that the files are ready for download. Leaving my new releases in a public area requires trust from the public to wait for an official announcement etc, and in this case my trust was broken. I now realise there are some people too impatient, too childish, to wait for me to get the official word out one way or another. He just assumed that was the final release and went for it and got burned for it in the process. Frankly, I'm kind of glad it blue screened on him as it serves him right for downloading a broken release before I could fix/address the problem directly. I hope he and others have learned a lesson I have good reason for not releasing an announcement until I'm absolutely sure the game is stable enough for public release.
