BUGFEST REPORT

by Hazed

Thanks to those of you who helped out last Sunday with BugFest. I hope you all enjoyed assisting with the bug hunt - as well as the opportunity to spend Fed time trying out dangerous things, safe in the knowledge that any damage that happened to your character would not be permanent.

Alan reports that he found the day very useful. He now knows exactly what is causing the game to crash when players set up new characters, and he is able to repeat it at will on his development machine.

Now all he has to do is fix it!

Sadly, I can’t tell you just how long it will take him. As you know, he thought he’d fixed the problem after the last BugFest, but it turned out to be more deep-rooted than he’d anticipated, hence the continued problems. So this time he needs to make absolutely sure the bug is exterminated for good, without any hope of resurrection.

Meanwhile, we’ll all have to be patient.
