48 48  //Before 2.0 Beta 1 a call to SetFormationShape() indicated an error state to the caller in certain cases where setting a formation shape (potentially) failed. Due to a design flaw in the handling of formations, this however doesn't do any good, since the function by itself doesn't really set the formation shape in all cases. On top of that the call can fail at random. Hence, at the moment an indication of an error case that setting a formation potentially fails is no good to the caller and he has no means to distinguish that case from a real error case.//
49 49  //Therefore, in 2.0 Beta 1 we drop the error indication in case of an attempt to set the formation fails. We are currently working on a better solution to the underlying problem and hope to have it ready as part of a following beta.//
