We’ve hit a snag

Hey there, just a quick update on a0.7 before you start throwing things. We have just 3 bugs keeping us from releasing, one of them we just found out on Saturday.

1. A crash bug for the 64bit Windows build caused by Opcode::HybridOBBCollider::Collide + 0x64c, we don’t really know what this is and no one else does either. We’re taking parts of the asset bundle out piece by piece to see if any of the assets have bad collision or something. Scratching our collective heads on this one. If we fix the other two bugs before this, we’ll just go ahead with the 32bit build.

2. This one’s a biggie that was probably due to some communications oversight between the client and netcode programmers. Basically, the client modes and the multiplayer modes are using 2 different systems for items and items gathering, we only figured this out when we merged the code. So now we’re doing a sprint on getting the current client system ported over to the multiplayer. 4 days needed.

3. Fast travel in multiplayer. There are some logic bugs here keeping players from syncing. But we think it’s a must have feature, especially for versus. 2-3 days needed.

Everything else’s pretty much hakuna, still doing bug runs through the story, but those are not serious bugs. So please bear with us, we’re almost there! We will be posting a save file for people wanting to start where the story ended in a0.62, and here’s the preliminary changelist so far.
