Agreed, however many people make the mistake of always thinking that the
older the version of a program, the more
stable it is. This is not necessarily the case. For example, a program could have improvements made to its networking code, actually making it more
stable than it's predecessor. This is especially true if proactive debugging is performed on the new code, as well as proper testing. Admittedly, too many programmers don't do proactive debugging or proper testing of their code and just rely on users to
come across bugs. Unfortunately, in this case,
age and
stability do tend to be related to one another, at least to a certain degree.
What about Arma? Some web searching makes me believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the main networking code has not even changed from v0.2.8 (or v0.2.9) to v0.4 therefore there should really be no difference in server stability between v0.2.8 (or v0.2.9) and v0.4. I can't for the life of me think what new code could possibly cause any extra lag or instability in v0.4. Again, if there is someone that knows better then please speak up now.
