No Sleep In Cambridge In The Next Week

Ralph Vargr · Oct 30, 2016

As someone who has worked two to three days straight (many times), no rest, no sleep, limited food and drink in the US military, because someone above me had an Epic Fail, Frontier's staff has my genuine sympathy.

This is why going live is the *real* test.

How do you FedEx pizza, chocolate, and every kind of caffiene that exists to Cambridge before 0800Z tomorrow?

Worst of all, you cannot FedEx sleep.

I really appreciate the effort FD put into the games support. But is there a reason they are going to be working late tonight(30/10)

I could walk there for you but I'm not sure why you think they need it?

To stay alive, and conscious enough to work.

What went wrong (this time) that required crunch with sleepovers.

There's nothing truly catastrophic, though. There's a bunch of mid-level stuff which is annoying to players, but fundamentally, the game works. The absolute worst one that I know of is the problem with module storage.

Ralph has found a bug where a planet didnt render. He started two topics on it, crossposts it in other threads, been on a rampage accusing Support, devs and the community of various weird things, and has now opened his third topic on it. Make of it as you will.

Not the missing planets, or system maps?

I heard sleeping is good, rather than get yourself overly stressed about such things. They'll get fixed in time.

Game is entirely playable, and all the new features are functional. Pretty good release IMO.

The sort of thing that would keep a team up all night is the central servers going down or massive corruption of CMDR data. That would be a huge deal. Some isolated graphical glitches? Nah, no biggie.
