Gas Powered Games has a new update brewing. While v1.1 has been a success feature wise, there is a subset of players who are experiencing crashes and random disconnects along with some funky behavior with the statistics and favor items.
As old as “works on my machine” gets, the good news is that we have identified the causes of each of the issues involved and GPG has already internally fixed most of them.
To recap the issues:
- Random disconnects in MP. Cause: LUA crash when someone tries to upgrade their Demigod while dead under certain circumstances.
- Random crashes in MP. Cause: Same as above either from doing it or being on the receiving end of it.
- Favor items not saving. A fix to a fix to a fix from earlier. Should be resolved by this next update.
- MP Stats not storing right. This one we’re still working on. You’d think that this would be straight forward (as a non network guy, that was my view anyway) but it’s actually remarkably complex to get the data to the server in a secure way at the end of the game but before people quit because the game is over.
No ETA yet, but hopefully this week or early next week.
