I wouldn't exactly call going 'Gee, I don't know, you better ask thém', an ability that takes a lot of skill, but thanks very much for those kinda words.
And don't worry, I understand where you're coming from and that it's not personal.., and I have been asked questions about similar things before, to be honest. So you're not the only one that has raised an eyebrow. But indeed as I said, it's beyond my 'scope', so to speak. I'm not involved in the creation of these game modifications, and the one that could help you best has decided to leave us, for a number of reasons I am not willing to discuss I am afraid. So I reckon we best leave it at that.
But yeah, I think pc's exploding is a bit 'out there', granted. I'm sure they'll just stop working in a normal fashion, without too much smoke and/or fire.
Nah just kidding, the only problems seen so far are some bugs here and there that probably have to do with the fact that there's a billion different possible software setups you can have on your pc, and then even many different ways to install SS08, including any to all addons. And I don't think it's humanly possible to test all possible bugs that might appear when combining so many things together, with the relative small team the CF has and the relatively short timespan in between releases. There's just only so much you can do with xx people in xx time. So, inevitable you'll get some incompatibility issues here and there, and such. But for the most part, they are in perfect working order and will nog harm your pc at all.
And if you do run into problems, I am sure the CF offers support in a professional fashion, parallel to what is offered here, on the official forum. And if it's possible for us to offer help here, we shall not refrain from that either. As long as it's not so specific that it requires a CF team member, we'll do our best!
I hope that helps in any way to decide wether or not you wish to use these addons with your game..

Fred
