Honestly, I'm getting annoyed by the lack of communication over the issue. They need to accept there is an issue and say whether they are working on a fix or not. If they launch it, and the patch doesn't fix the issue and then they go on a holiday (which admittedly is well earnt and deserved) without saying that theres a fix on the way, a LOT of people are going to be very annoyed.
This is from someone who has defended them on most issues throughout the development process. Some of the textures on the gloves in 1st person are awful. Im not a massive graphics freak, but seeing the fur gloves without the properly loaded textures was actually terrible.
