This just may be an historic occasion: the first time (at least as far as I can recall) that RSC has issued a bulletin detailing the content of a patch to TS. In a way, this is a sad event, since it means an end to needless and hopeless speculation about the content of patches. An encouraging (or discouraging, depending on one's point of view) note does exist, however, in the fact that one (presumed) player submitted his gripe in a timely manner:

Juan Antonio Bermúdez −

Hello, the issue with tunnel shaders still persists.
You have forgotten to check the shader 'LoftTunnelBumpSpec.fx.o'.

Thanks.

Regards.
Juan

Sincere thanks and kudos to RSC for this encouraging show of openness!

May I add a hearty "Amen brother!" to that sentiment?
I had thought that update was for something else, but I'm certainly glad they stated exactly what was worked on/fixed, rather than guess at it.
