Better right? When did that happen? (asking for a friend)
Update 12 moved to 7 June
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Yes, they did.
I was talking about reality, not things you did or did not know.
This. If they said "we had to postpone to next week, and realized it would be difficult to create timely hotfixes." that's perfectly fine. "Oops, a holiday!" is a bit clownesque.
Not the end of the world, and like most I prefer a working current version than a broken new version.
Maybe that is the cause of delay, free fly week (bank holiday) in Star Citizen. Fdevs are going crazy flying SC.
I will go check it out.
Maybe SC developers don't cheat.
Hope you have a modern & well specced PC, it makes Odyssey look extremely well optimised.
Dunno about devs cheating, they decide exactly how they want things in their game to be, not the players.
Never mind, we are in Leesti now to give Sirius a helping hand.
No. Stage 5.
Was that unexpected? No it wasn't.
You're forgetting telling American's about the NHS, how it works and that you're never afraid to call an ambulance. It blows their minds.Ou
Ouch. I was using the highly accurate internet for my research - and was only talking 'Public / Bank Holidays', but presuming that is all Holidays, including 'Public/ Bank', then you poor sod. I get 8 public, and 23 personal (I dropped from 8+25 from previous jobs). I think average is the 8 (statutory), and around 20 others
Come on Over - the weathers iffy, so is the Government (whichever one we have at the time), but the people are nice(ish), you are unlikely to get shot, and errrmmmm.
Their must be more to it than that, hmmmmmm.
EDIT: What has happened to the world, when you can't trust what you find on the internet
I must have missed them saying "Oops, a holiday!". They said "This is to ensure the development team are available to monitor the changes post-launch" which says pretty much what your first quote says. They would have delayed a week, but it would not be wise to release just before a 4-day weekend "the upcoming bank holidays" hence the delay to the week after. The delay was not because of the bank holidays. The length of the delay was.
Does that come in pill form or does it require a syringe?...
And now we have synthetic outrage
I dont see why FDev cant email the Palace and have them delay the Jubilee for a week.
After all there are a lot of unfixed bugs running at the House of Windsor. The Queens space legs dont seem to be working as intended, the Prince Andrew DLC also isnt working but is still using system resources. The Meg and Harry update was and still is a disaster, it causes security warning popups when ever they are on screen. Not to mention the Prince Phillip play pattern seems to have crashed entirely...

Software development Rule #..well i dunno what number but its pretty low: Never ship on Friday (or just before a holiday)
Project I worked on managed to have public certificates expire on Dec 24th with no early warning in place - that was fun :s
Yes back when I was working a colleague was actually in trouble for not taking all his entitlement and compensation days for doing some weekend work and had to take some carried over from the previous year as well as a chunk of the current years entitlement in the first third of the then current year. To be fair he hadn't been taking all his holidays or compensation for at least a couple of years prior to that.
Well if the release was absolutely certain not to create any problems significant enough to require attention or fixing then releasing it a day or so before everyone stops working for four days would seem a good idea, in the real world it is almost as bad an idea as talking on a Sicilian in a matter of death.
I like the fantasy land players live in after all this time. Fix major bugs after an update? Update 11 saw planets in all systems completely broken. Clumped together on entering a system, changing position and invisible on approach. One of the worst visual bugs Ive seen in the 6 years Ive been playing. Completely immersion breaking. They've left the game that is apparently dear to their heart in this state for over 2 months. Id set your expectations for every update very low and hope that something else is not seriously broken again.
