The first patch usually comes out a couple of months after the game is released,
as they have to wait for e-mails to pour in from everybody who is having
problems. The old (and accurate) adage that states that every piece of software
gets more testing in its first 72 hours of availability than it did during its
entire production is very valid here. So, obviously, there will be many bugs to
fix. Whether they decide to also add requested features remains to be seen. Of
course, I will mention it to them....
