It would be nice if SOMETHING was done. My UI 1.1 woes haven't stopped from the moment I tried to install it. No 6DOF (tried installing 3 times!) at all, for example, and no help either, it seems. Sure, some members have tried to help, but it'd be really cool if one of the AAA team would try to help.
As it is, I'm now entering day 3 of trying to get just a very BASIC, WORKING UI1.1.
With every step forward, anothe r2 back.
It looks like I'll be shelving 1.1 (and whatever is still to come that will be dependent on it ), still using 1.0 that works absolutely sweetly - except for my lost Hurricane sounds, which was the main motivator for the new UI. Guess I'll have to be happy with that...
