We’ve hit a snag

发表于12月 16, 2013由admin

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.

GUYS I LOVE YOU! Cannot wait for this now!

Lets hope you guys can fix those bugs!
Krogith在12月 16, 2013 5:35 下午说道：

Your adding a lot so the bugs are expected. The better you write the code now the less issues later and more people will play due to it. Keep up the hard work.
Lt_Karnage在12月 16, 2013 5:55 下午说道：

The list of new feature is very long and filled with really cool feature.

EasyBloody在12月 16, 2013 6:12 下午说道：

Hey , reaaly cool updates here ! i expected a lot from this game and now i’m happy to see all these new features comign soon .
Justa little question , will the 0.62 story will be saved into the 0.7 update ? and if not , do we have a way to keep our story level by switching some folders into the game ?
Thanks in advance for the answers , and big up from France ! i love you guys !
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:45 上午说道：
  
  The saves this time will not completely carry over, unfortuanely, since so much new things have been added that weren’t in the old save files. We will provide several saves at different points in the game.

    Thats really cool of you guys , thanks !
Brian在12月 16, 2013 7:01 下午说道：

Vraiment du bon boulot , tout ce que j’attendais d’un jeu ce trouve dedans, continuer de nous fournir un travail de qualité et vous souhaite bonne reussite 😉

  Merci!
ChibiReiko在12月 16, 2013 8:12 下午说道：

This is going to be a nice update … but … I myself prefer smaller and more frequent updates kinda like what Starbound is doing. It keeps the game fresh and not so forgettable (Yes, I almost forgot about this game =/ )
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:42 上午说道：
  
  We’ll start doing that once we get on Steam Early Access (1 updated every 1-1.5 month), right now, some features take a lot of time, so we want to give ourselves enough time and not that much pressure to successfully implement them.

I don’t like the food/sleep influence HP. Now I’ll die even more often.
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:40 上午说道：
  
  We’ll see how people take it, that’s the point of alpha, right? 🙂
  - Yoda306在12月 17, 2013 6:30 下午说道：
    
    For me its a good thing, this game is a survival game so sleep and food must have an influence on HP, it makes the research of food and having enough supplies the first priority In the early hours of the game.
    
    Perhaps you could set an option to turn on or off this effect to let the payer choose the difficulty he wants.
    - =Nexus=在12月 19, 2013 9:23 上午说道：
      
      I agree, a Difficulty level would be great.
      Maybe an “Easy” mode, a “Normal” mode and a “Hard” mode?
      
      Easy mode being no damage taken from hunger
      
      Normal mode being 1/2 damage from hunger
      
      Hard mode being 100% damage from hunger.
      
      I’m sure other things can be added to each mode such as weaker mobs in easy mode and harder mobs in hard mode.

It seems the unity engine just hit the same snag…..

  “is not intended to allow for using single and double precision floating point models ” ???
  - Ramon在12月 18, 2013 1:57 上午说道：
    
    I don’t think he is writing Double and single float on same line. It’s like inserting a 64 bit double into a 32 bit integer, unless you convert it. This may not work static int ToInt32( double value ). I don’t know much of C++. I do C#
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:40 上午说道：
  
  See, that was asked by one of our guys. 😛
gp2.eXe在12月 16, 2013 9:14 下午说道：

This update is going to be great, thanks for all the hard work and for keeping us informed guys! I’m sure the wait is going to be more than worth it. 😀
Dan在12月 16, 2013 10:06 下午说道：

I really don’t understand how a bunch of programmers can write only a few hundred thousand lines of code and not have everything just sync up perfectly. C’mon guys, get it together. It’s not like communications or cohesiveness have ever mattered before now. It’s simply not important. Just ask Microsoft.
We are the entitled few (somehow) and we demand that everything work perfectly, instantly. If Bethesda and Blizzard can do it, so can you.

Oh, wait. They can’t.

Good luck sorting out these issues. Can’t wait to see how I get to kill off innocent bystanders this time. 🙂

Please, please, PLEASE… say you have worked out why the opencl compatible card running the latest and greatest drivers (AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB) running on MAC does not work……
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:38 上午说道：
  
  CPU based opencl, yep.
Dadapawa在12月 16, 2013 10:33 下午说道：

Oh…. My…. GoD! loll, just pure awesomeness update! cant wait for 0.7 🙂 fix those quickly (damn 64bit) so I can lose my life in this next update! 😛 lol good work guys, really!
Jake在12月 17, 2013 1:09 上午说道：

I really hope you guys get the 64 bit bug figured out. I was pretty excited for the 64 bit version.
Danny在12月 17, 2013 1:17 上午说道：

Will this game run on Mac without crashing?
- admin在12月 17, 2013 2:37 上午说道：
  
  It always ran on Mac without crashing, if you have opencl supported hardware. In this build, we are expanding that compatibility to CPUs, so, yes, it will probably work for you now.

“Glider
Jetpack

Parachute”

it took this long for an update and i ain’t even mad 🙂
keep up the good work
Lt_Karnage在12月 17, 2013 11:37 上午说道：

As for each update we need to restart from scratch, I’m not sure frequent update is a good idea and so I’m fine with the release. And they provides a lot of new feature. Of course more frequently update to fix bug and big update times to times for new features will be a good thing. Maybe this time I will can fly and turn left.
Deakn在12月 17, 2013 11:40 上午说道：

Simply awesome!!!! 😀

Been waiting long and hard and I now see the immense bulk of stuff you’ve done, simply awesome, well done 🙂

I’m looking forward to take the new stuff for a spin.

Best wishes, Deakn
Fernando在12月 17, 2013 11:51 上午说道：

Grande Update.

Mal posso esperar para jogar. comprei o jogo a 2 dias e já estou maravilhado com ele, imagina agora com este Update.
Eu gostaria que a mídia mostrasse mais sobre este jogo afinal é um jogo sandbox com uma história realmente interessante. Ficção mas não Fantasia.
chasalin在12月 17, 2013 2:31 下午说道：

Got a new graphics card for my birthday 2 months early so I gould play this game. Would be awesome if 0.7 could be released before my birthday 😉 That gives you exactly 2 weeks guys :p
yager652在12月 17, 2013 3:31 下午说道：

Sounds awesome. I cannot wait. Going through a really rough patch atm in my life so when this comes out I’ll finally have some relaxing time. =)
fireheart在12月 17, 2013 6:13 下午说道：

i enjoy that you keep updated it is a really nice thing thanks ive been checking in everyday and im excited for the release and take you time and make this game right. nobody is going to like screwy game so i think it is a good thing that you have taken enough time to make things right before releasing something thats broken and unplayable

Are you programming in game in C++, LUA and Unity?
- admin在12月 19, 2013 1:32 下午说道：
  
  C# mostly, in Unity. We have C++ off-shoots that feed into Unity as well.

I’m a bit concerned about 3D “real” map. So far it never worked well in any game and 2D map was always better for orientation. How many people uses google satellite view as a primary view for navigation? Also is there vehicle repair and refilling in 0.7?
Happy Christmas 🙂
- admin在12月 20, 2013 4:34 下午说道：
  
  It’s not a “real” 3D map, just a mesh vectorized version of the old 2D map. We save ram space and it’s more clear for players. Now, the map for the mineral scanner is full 3D and awesome. 🙂

Your going to make it so we can make those blue lights right? Torches stink.
Dirk在12月 21, 2013 5:48 上午说道：

I hope you go with 32 bit cause after about about 30 minutes or an hour the game crashes. But then it’s probably cause of the 32 bit I have.
Andrew在12月 22, 2013 10:02 下午说道：

I spotted 2 words I know well… “sprint” and “story”. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. So glad you guys are using an agile methodology. I love sushi, so will take the sashimi slices as you release them. 🙂 Keep up the good work!
