Why in god's name is anyone still playing B23?

There's literally no reason to. Don't come crying to me about performance changes; nothing really significant changed with the game in any way that's going to affect your performance any more than CC itself already does.

B24 is DRM-free, completely free, contains (arguably) better content, more maps, more missions, etc, etc.

♥♥♥♥ people who still use B23; we (as a forum) should do everything possible to force them to upgrade. I don't give a flying ♥♥♥♥ if your mod is B24 compatible; I assume that. But if someone forces you to convert it back to B23? Well ♥♥♥♥ that guy hardcore.

If there's stuff in B23 vanilla you want in B24, then either make a mod of it yourself, or get someone else to do it. Look at the Heavy Brain Bot, for example.

I completely agree with Grif on this one.

B23 grasslands sucked though. Porting content is easy. Don't use old builds because you're too lazy to add a few lines to a scenes definition.

Now B22 grasslands on the other hand...

Anyone feel like doing "A History of Grasslands" for B24?

B24 dont work on mine machine, nuff said.

Actually, there is one very good reason to use B23; It doesn't crash as often as B24.

Don't hate me though, I still play B24 instead of B23 because I like the new stuff.

For me, crashing was a common problem in B23.
Honestly, I don't remember B24 crashing yet.

Yeah, I'm experiencing less crashes in B24 than I had in B23.

Question:

How many people actually play this game? Testing mods doesn't count.

I find more pleasure in making and testing my own creations than actually playing the thing. Sometimes I'll get sidetracked when I should be testing but I just start messing around.

I play it

I do too, lets be friends.

Hey we could even make a whole community for it! Oh wait...

I play D.I.R.T. (lolno)

I haven't even played B24, mainly because my interest in CC B23 ebbed a little and then got replaced by other goodies. I haven't even tried it out on my new computer, which should run it much better and thus create a more enjoyable experience.
