WPP: AI, does it work?

[S.R. Krol]

Good to hear that you're enjoying it. The blue screen issue is a known problem. Here's what John says about it in his postmortem:

Light Blue Screen Of Non-Death (LBSOND): Reported a couple of times in beta, this issue has also hit a few customers. We’ve never been able to consistently repro in house, so at the moment have no clear path to a fix. Since this bug does not crash the game and display can be restored by minimizing and restoring the window, it falls into the “annoying” rather than “debilitating” category. Still, annoying your customers is not a good business strategy, and we need to find and fix (or work around if it is a DX issue)this bug.

XNA: Although XNA probably plays a part in two of the three major technical issues(installation and LBSOND), overall it has worked out quite well. Of course with the knowledge gained during a full development cycle, there are many things that we could “do better next time” and we shall.

There is a patch in the works but I don't know if he's been able to track this particular thing down yet or not.
