One of the victims has been said on the phone by TI-Cares France that the problem was frequent, and that they were waiting for support from TI-USA.
Ouch... I hope TI replaces those calcs. Do we know what causes it?

Thats good to hear! :)

Hopefully, they won't do anything to hurt Lua (although I really doubt they will!).

That's not how TI runs their programming!

Seriously, they release like they're an Open Source project, but since they don't have "Alpha" and "Beta" versions the release the buggy stuff as official releases.

I wonder what the new OS will be like. Will it just be a bug fix or will they also block Lua development without the 1024/2048 bit code
I currently don't do much, but I am a developer for a game you should totally try out called AssaultCube Reloaded download here https://assaultcuber.codeplex.com/

Hmm I hope they are not charging for calc replacements... this would be even more terrible of them considering they are the ones who screwed up.

Also I hate how staff on a certain non-calc-dev forum (I think they're TI employees, right?) puts the blame on the TI community for these issues, claiming they're because of Ndless and that we're using innapropriate OSes (anything from OS 1.1 to 2.1? ???)

Just wait until ndless 3.0 :P

Well, IMO, they will probably harm Lua programming, at least harm the way we're currently using it (without having reversed and independently reimplemented their 0D compression method).
