Yeah think that knocked the wind out of a lot of people’s sails for 3.14
I just ask about your start point because I’m interested in the honeymoon period people have with SC. (This 6 months or so has been an interesting time to observe it in action, what with the wave of new ED heads checking it out).
Well you are playing a .0 patch, those are always known to be those with the most problems. 3.15.1 should release next week with the IAE.
But that sounds like the Interaction commands overlaying the screens? I usually just use the actual keybinds to exit ship and all that, interaction is always a little odd.
The Spectrum post did say that the wipe was going to take effect for 3.15.
But oh well, see you in the milky way I suppose.
Woah, never expected that. I thought you were in deep.
The next patch is always going to be the one that fixes things, until it doesn't.
Unless the last .1 patches have always significantly improved stability and reduced the frequency of bugs. Speaking from experience here.
I finally folded and watched someone stream 3.15. First stream other than from the con for years. It was late at night, but I was stone cold sober. I joined part way through the stream as the streamer hailed the ATC (STC perhaps). Landing pad was allocated, but there was nothing visible on the HUD. No obvious marker on the station either despite flying around it several times. The streamer rehailed and just got told they had already hailed. The streamer made light of it and decided to do something else. I switched off. This is basic stuff after all this time, but what really shocked me was the attitude of basically a shoulder shrug and lets do something else, as if this sort of glitch was the norm. There also seemed no way to cancel the request and rehail. So, gave every appearance of flawed design and buggy implementation. Given that the pad request handshake is a very basic aspect of a space flight game it was sobering. Glad I am still zero invested.
So its basically a rollercoaster ride of fun! Stable, unstable, stable unstable.
I wonder why the faithful always declare the current patch to be good though, regardless of the numbering....
Yeah that bug has existed for years. Has to do with low server tickrate. As they're still tinkering around with their server meshing and apparently need to integrate the ATC system with it in another way, haven't bothered to fix anything with the old implementation and just leaving it be until the rework comes with server meshing.
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, I think content wise, 3.15 is good. Stability wise? Not at all.
You laugh now! But when Server Meshing comes in (current year + 1-2) and they rework all these systems, UI, all bugs are fixed, you'll be buying an Idris I tell you!
I'd rather have a shrubbery.
If I have learned anything, it is that never install (or atleast expect smooth ride) something that is first iteration of some more or less big change. Be it game, application software, or even OS.
And this is a significant part of the problem and has been from the early days. As long as they keep enough money coming in from continuing the pantomime then there is no incentive to deliver, even if they were able, which with Chris in charge I think is already proven to be hugely unlikely.
Buy an Idris!
You better get that badge in game, given how you've been parking your ships lately..Of course...I've got a disabled badge, I could park it anywhere and anyhow I liked
Let's hope that Jesus Server Meshing patch addresses the buggered landing pads at Area18, broken ATC, and that perennial refuel/repair bug because these have been there for longer than the whole development time of any other game ever published.
The refuel repair bug is actually gonna most likely get fixed with the refueling rework in 3.16.
