Some of the guys seem to think this is not a bug (I think) but I'm convinced it is. There's no indication that controlling the leaf should cause a change in control flow. There's no reason I can think of to think that the events work this way programatically. So I'm thinking this was a bug created when the decision was made to add the option of controlling other events' leaves, and there was no effort made to realize the instruction was originally intended to only work within the event where the instruction exists.
Of course any testing at all would've uncovered this bug. But I guess with PC there is no quality control regime (as there is with consoles) and From' was just out to make a quick buck, or canceled the development of SOM midstream and decided to just throw what they had on the market. Of course the fact that SOM has been patched and these bugs were not fixed completely blows my mind. Frankly it's criminal, and I think From would owe everyone who bought SOM a refund with the level of buginess happening here. I can't think of anything so bugged. In the states fix CDs would've been sent out and attached to every box, and made freely available by download/mail with proof of purchase. I still can't get over the original retail price, but hell, it's still cooler than everything else, just for what it is...
It kinda blows my mind that From' originally produced business software, and only inadvertently ended up being known for/shifting entirely over to games. I can see why though business software might not have worked out!!!
