This has not changed in years, but when your Harvester is dumping off money, you can hear your credits rising incrementally. Sometimes your money increases at this ACTUALLY happens, most of the time, despite hearing that sweet sound of Tiberium being refined, it's not until the unloading process is done, that you receive your money.
Can it be fixed so that your money is available to you, WHILE it's being processed?
I can't tell you how many times I've been waiting to purchase something, as a building is being destroyed, and not having the money to do so until it's too late. Thanks!

Agreed too...the "rolling-dump" has so many advantages over the "hold-dump." On a game like this, the credit flow should always be there...I lost count of how many times I had, say, 895 credits to get an Orca when the harv dumps and jams the credit flow; applies for any purchase. It's stupid, silly, and a hindrance to the the fast gameplay-style.
TT should standardize the "rolling-dump" and roll it out with the next update.
btw, I am curious; is there any reason why the "hold-dump" was chosen?

We had the "rolling dump" working, but it takes a lot of bandwidth to do this. This might also affect gameplay in a serious manar, hence this option was chosen.

Well, at least that makes sense lol. I would have liked to see it go the "other" way, but if it just causes bandwidth issues, then ok. Perhaps you can disable the "trickling" sound as well. One less thing in Renegade.
