Paul. It was mentioned some time ago that there were fixes for problems that would be released along with Fury. In my own head, that means problems are fixed. As an extension of that, I would assume that it was tested and ready to go. If it hasn't been tested then it could still not work, and isn't really a fix at all. It's just a matter of semantics really that made me think there were fixes ready to go that were being withheld until Fury for some reason, and I couldn't think of a good reason why. I guess it's more efficient to implement it all at the same time though, so further testing and a synchronised server update to handle fixes and the DLC would make sense.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying. I might not buy Fury right away as I'm only just getting to where I want to be with the current game, so it's good to know I'll get the fixes as well (and before Fury comes out too ).
Thanks to SL for taking the feedback on board and working on the issues. I'll try to be slightly less sceptical in future.
