Wow. That must have taken a long time staring at nothing than your development computers to complete. So, to the programmers of the game, I'd like to say that while you were working on this patch, Michael Jackson was put on trial for molesting little boys and found innocent. Oh, and the guy who ratted out Nixon came forward, but he's a fruitcake with Elton John style glasses. Now you're all caught up with what you missed in the real world while working on this.

The police station in Puerto Sombra could be destroyed with a single crossbow bolt.
Great. I''ve allways wanted to creat chaos, fear and disorder in the police station by a single crossbow dart.
"Look, he has got a crossbow! Run for it! (BAM! WHOOM! PUSSHH!) "

Otherwise, I dont find any perfomance upgrades, though. Which is not great since, as I have heard, the game crawls like Bloodlines..and it aint good comparison.

Plus, the list is so long because they repeat some items (like suicide mission fix and police station blow-up problem). Maybe those guys kept coding each from his own side and fixed the same problems..then there raises a question - what did they actually fix then...?

Reminds me of the FO2 car's trunk.
