Thread: Update Notes: January 13, 2005 Publish 12
Ok this publish doesn't add cool stuff like the others publish...
I suppose SOE wanted to do a "Maintenance Publish" as they promised to correct the old time bugs and more. A bunch of people have been hired to speed up the whole developement. That point should have been more explicit, ok.
Those Recyclers are not aimed for all, sure. But don't blame the devs if you don't know all the stuff they surely done behind and you didn't noticed. Well, we'll all have our own opinion about this...
Anyway, about the long update download, if you change a line in a file, you have to download it again. So if the devs modified a lot of files, then .... you have to download them all. Incrementals update can't be applicable as most of the files are compiled.
I prefer to encourage the Devs about all the remaining work rather then complaining. If we could could ideally reach a collaboration between players and devs
Complaining never help; Constructive discussions do.

PS:
and if devs could debug de AS repair bonus, that would be cool.

seems like everytime you guys fix something, something else gets screwed up.
Number pad NEVER, EVER worked for me...
Just pressed keys and nothing happens

Whiners, whiners, whiners ... why do you bother? I love this game.
Then, a new bug arrived. Numbers from numerickeys go into the chatbox, at least into the guildie chat box.
Strange, stray characters go into chatbox from Ctrl and from macros hitting ui-buttons.
Ya know I am still waiting for the day a patch comes out that fixes bugs and issues in the game without creating new ones.lol Like it wasn't bad enough when they resized the target windows making them uneven where your name is twice as large and the name of your actual target twice as small. Then they play with the inventory and now the number pad keys type in chat. This just is getting better and better by the moment. Oh and not to leave out the village missions weren't working tonight when I logged in for a nice party near the elders where everyone was gathered around complementing the Devs. about how they are really getting thier money's worth. Bloody hilarious indeed, but like the old saying goes when in doubt nerf it to death. I am so looking forward to the combat revamp when everyone REALLY gonna be hollering then cause they gonna need a group to take on Durni's right outside Coronet. ROFL!!!!
I apologise ifI sound overly critical this morning, but getting decent support ingame itself is like going fishing with out any bait. It just ain't gonna happen. The day it does I will probably end up double checking to make sure I logged into the right game. Though when that day does come if ever it will be a nice sight to see and perhaps someone can tell me finally whether or not Bull Rancor Babies still even spawn on Kauri. I think anybody who has hunted them hardcore for a year straight could atleast be told that much to as if they even still exist, but that's just me.
In closing I do wanna say the space game rocks. No real criticism there and coming from a guy who normally only played space sims more then any other type of game and beta tested afew before they hit shelves including JTL I can safely say for the most part you guys have gotten that aspect of the game pretty much on the money. Afew things can be improved upon, but over all it was a most excellent job done on it.
* Since Publish 12 the HAM window (top left) is resized after every restart. On my screen it becomes very small, and I am forced to resize the window several times daily.
* When you disconnect/ctd for any reason, timers in the "Modifiers Window" is removed. This includes all temporary buffs such as Doctor Buff, Entertainer Buff and Food Buff.
* Show Detail World Objects (Options>Graphics) is unclicked every time I restart the game.
* Wildlife on Rori (Corbantis) no longer spawns outside PoI's, probably since JTL.
* When you CTD "Global Terrain Detail" and "Terrain High Detail Range" in Options>Terrain is changed.
* If Enable Bloom (Options>Graphics) is enabled, Anti-Aliasing is removed.
* The game is slow, even on very powerful machines. If this is due to the network code or the graphics engine is difficult for me to tell.
UI Wishes:
* It would be good if there was an option to disable the "Channel Listing Complete" and "Channel Information Complete" messages from tabs where they do not belong.
* It would be good if the "Experience Monitor" could show a numerical value instead of a bar.
---
Still untested with Pub 12:
* In previous versions, if the game freezes, the .UI file is corrupted, causing all options and the UI settings to be reset to scratch.
* If the screensize is changed, all options in the .UI file is removed as well.
* If you ALT+ENTER and ALT+ENTER again, the game instantly crashes.
I will return to more information about this after testing.

Thanks I'll try that, but only temporarily. I like my graphicsthe way they are.I never had a probem until the CTD issues started a few weeks ago. I hope the Devs fix whatever they changed soon.

Ah, some people complain for the sake of it it seems...
we all want a real patch to give interests to gcw... and hurry... "
"What about Crash-to-Desktop at anygiven time. OR crash to desktop when useing a shuttle. I creashed to desktop and almost got killed by a BH it is unacceptable and taken away from the game. I dont understand why only 2 crash to desktop situations were fixed. "
Crashes to Desktops, are incredibly hard to track down, as some people never get that, and some always do. Thats like going to the hospital and wondering why all these sick people arent healthy now,with all these doctors about...every case is probably different Finding and squashing two of the CTD is really an accomplishment, and i can bet you they aren't just filing this away as complete. No one wants to be patient, but to find and fix a bug, it takes time, or more bugs will pop up, and can probably mask the original.
This "useless" patch does seem to matter a great deal to someone!
