imacken Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I was about to say I'm not so sure a longer patch cycle will lead to better results. It would mean ED getting feedback on bugs once a month instead of every week. It would mean ED taking less advantage of the free resource of community error reporting (such as it is:unsure:). I understand there is a lot of well defined cockpit color palette errors (like the Spitfire cockpit, the Su-33 and more), the carrier deck. A continuation of this: Neither critical but annoying, was half counting on a fix this week. Seems like low hanging fruit (obvious and effortlessly repeatable). Yes, I'm hoping for cockpit lighting issues to be hotfixed as well today. As an aside, the F-5E is on ED's list (above) of pits that were fixed, but it is most certainly not. You can't see any of the radar lights, so it is impossible to know what is going on there. The missing lighting on the Spit guages is annoying as well, but, as you say, not critical. All part of the same issue, I guess.

Emmy Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 So viper maverick will come one month later? And maybe more than just Mavericks if we all take a step back and give ED some room to breath... Frankly, I’ll take broader (and I hope more “fully cooked”) updates less frequently over weekly slapdashery that often hurts more than it helps. Spacing out the updates will also allow the Devs to weed out the numerous Operator Errors and other manifestations of pure ignorance that always clog the pipeline after every update. It will also, I think, allow Wags to create feature previews which are more in depth because he won’t be racing to produce a video with only hours to spare before an update is released. On ED’s part though, I expect them to respond to “game breaking” bugs in a timely manner and not let issues fester that could, in fact, be patched with a hot fix.

imacken Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Warning and indicator lights, gauges are (mostly) fine. We've gone through this already in another thread. There are items that don't work, e.g. the LG lighting. All down to the same issue in several pits that ED is aware of.

Beltza Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Will it be a new strategy for OB a unic release per month? It may be good if the releases are with out critical bugs. Thanks for the info.

uri_ba Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Good morning all. The team are planning a hot fix today with some crash fixes. Hot fix 17th June Next Planned update 15th July Thank you Is this going to be the new mode of operation? An update once a month and a weekly hotfix? Because if that is the plan, I'm all for it.

It would be a great! I second that! I think it would be a successful way of updating the game and squashing bugs. The hot fixes will focus only on fixing bugs for the existing features while new content will be added only once a month, giving the team more time to make sure they don't break the game if they add them too early :thumbup: ASUS ROG STRIX Z490 F-GAMING | i7-10700K | RTX3090 TUF OC | 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz | Windows 10 64bit | Acer Predator X34P | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog | TM T.Flight Rudder Pedals A-10C | A-10C II | F/A-18C | F-16C | FC3 | PG | Syria | SC Home made F-16C simulator Forum Thread: DCS World forum - The Viper Project - Home Cockpits Instagram: The Viper Project YouTube The Viper Project - Youtube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer release cycle for features with possibility to release fixes for critical bugs as soon the are ready. edit: The armchair software engineer in me has even better idea: stable release every 2 months, beta every 2 weeks and hotfixes for beta as needed. This could reinstate the stable version as primary version on servers. Edited June 17, 2020 by Unclezam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animaal Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm quite happy with the less frequent releases. When I was a developer, I can remember the constant pressure of very tight release cycles. There's probably a lot of fixed overhead involved in issuing a release and probably difficult to automate testing. Less frequent releases may mean more improvements/fixes. Also means less stress on my F5 key waiting to see if there's a new release every Friday/Wednesday :) Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K, Kempston joystick Interface, Alba Cassette Recorder, Quickshot II Turbo Joystick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
