Patch Notes Update April Update - Patch 2
- Thread starter Will Flanagan
- Start date
Cheers, Will!
I think the smaller team is doing a better, certainly quicker, job of fixes and patches. I just hope they're not too much under the lash. Does Sir David own a cat 'o nine tails???
Not necessarily. Small bug fixes might not need server side changes. But then again, its all again speculation on my part without any knowledge of their setup.
That's why i was asking for news/progress/update on it, rather than demanding the fix m8y
No doubt. And as with many popular things, I have seen Agile implemented like .<sigh> I should try and not be triggeredSince Agile became more a buzzword than something people actually do / understand I get grumpy at it's being maligned by those who've only seen the 'we're agile, we have post-its on the wall' version
And no new bugs [crosses fingers]
And the Steam bug is fixed, just loaded and exited the game - normal exit without the lock-up Now to check a few other things
Well done Dev's

What about the 1 jump remaining bug since they made the font bigger in the last patch?
Unfortunately THIS IS STILL A THING post the patch to fix the patch..
no wonder i couldnt get on forgot to close the launcher
they
probely replacing existing files1.2GB on Xbox. That's big for such small notes
Not quite game-breaking... At least we know if it looks like that we arrive next jumpUnfortunately THIS IS STILL A THING post the patch to fix the patch..
I'm sure it'll be fixed soon...

For Fornicate Sake! I would have thought that would have been an easy fix
That's the one thing about this game. The original in 84 inspired a lot of kids (myself included) to become software developers. It's follow up 'Frontier' probably did as well. I suspect that probably means that there are a higher amount of developers ready to discuss development strategies and methodologies than other MMOs.
That said you can probably see folks checking the FSS and scanning a system with bodies closer than 100,000 ls away and thought 'Yup, that's ok and passed it.'. Nobody was expecting that there would be a problem with bodies more than 100,000 ls out. These kind of bugs happen all the time in software development and to be honest, any developer who says they create bug free code every time is lying. Although this bug got through this time, you know that a test case will be added for all future development to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Quite a big patch for very small notes.
Yep, this is alright and it's understandable.
My problem was with FDev's approach.
They pushed out the April patch on 23rd and immediately on 24th they acknowledged some bugs and informed us when they will be fixing them. And they fixed them pretty quickly with a hotfix. Well done there.
Unfortunately, the hotfix contained new bugs and suddenly FDev went completely quiet.
No info, no communication, nothing...
This approach feels a little schizophrenic.
