That aside, the SSL/TLS issues alone make it unusable. Changing the settings to make it use the newest TLS version it has support for makes it crash, and even if it did there are no updates at all any more. That means no security fixes, no support for new cipher suites, etc.

- EpicEng 10y agoYou're right; just not an option to most reasonable people.
- Mithaldu 10y agoAh yes, ad hominem, the tool of choice for reasonable people.

- Mithaldu 10y agoNah man, i know exactly what it means and what your game is. You're pretty sad. :)
