News Server update

[Zac Antonaci]

Hey all,

Just a really quick message to let you know that a server side update has gone live today.

It contains a single change, an adjustment to the background sim calculations to avoid exaggerated changes to influence and state values through the splitting of a single consignment into multiple transactions.

Thanks!

Wow. Out of all the other things to fix, you fix this?

 

[Vingtetun]

Stop moaning. All fixes are good. This was an important one.

Its a game breaking exploit that wrecks the background sim.

Thanks FD!

 

[Marshall...]

You forgot to mention that you also added support for the upcoming multicrew feature, which will go live next week.

Whoop whoop...

The answers are in the server data. That cannot be disputed.

Thanks for the fix, will be interesting to see the effects of it.

 

[DaedalusVar]

Wow you fixed nothing in the grand scope of the BGS. Bravo.

 

[Halfpynt83]

It's fair to say no one can use it now... playing field is square

Its only game breaking

That part of your post is really enough, if it is game breaking, period, its good that it is fixed.

Thanks FD. Much appreciated.

Its only game breaking when it's used against then. Truckers and PBSF use this all the time.

Truckers do not and have never used this method. We have been submitting reports related to thibgs like this to assist in getting them fixed for a long time. Now Cork it. The devs found a problem. The devs fixed a problem. Big hooray.

It was affecting the chosen few. Next up, god mod to undo the damage and put TIIQ back in charge of their system.

Given the amount of extra transactions this causes on the server, I honestly don't see a reason for them not to get rid of it.

Great news, thanks Zac (and the team, of course!)!
