[FS19] Ask Lisertan ( Questions and answers)
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2019 11:36 am
Moin,
who reads the forum knows the discussion about "GIANTS doesn't answer anymore". That's not wrong, unfortunately, I can't find the time for the forum at the moment and the Community Coordinator isn't there yet. So I try something new: This thread.
What is it supposed to bring?
Since I don't manage to read the whole forum, I hope to bundle your questions here and then see that I get answers. At least 1 - 2 times a day a few answers should be in it and hopefully will get at least some information.
I probably won't be able to answer everything, especially questions like "why did XY get the bug ABC" are hard to answer (apart from such great answers like "because it's bugged"), but maybe we can get something together.
To start with, I'll bring the answers to the questions I read most often:
1. Where is the new GE?
The new GE is currently being tested by the QA team. This will certainly take a few more days, but if it works as we want it to, it won't be that far away. We don't have ETA, I would estimate 1-2 weeks if all goes well. Maybe faster if the QA team doesn't find any bugs.
2. Where is the Scriptdoku?
It is in its final stages and hopefully (!) ready before the new GE. Of course I can't promise it, but I think the chance is good.
3. where is the next patch/why is there so little information about the next patch?
I'll take these two questions together. At the moment our devs are working on the next patch and fix as much as they can. The next patch is still a few weeks away, though, because, as in the past, we'd rather patch non-game-breaking bugs in one big swing than have small patches several times. This is mainly for practical reasons for players who play the game from the DVD or from our website, because the patches are quite big and many players don't have a quick line. Of course we hotfix game breakers, but everything else will be patched all at once. If we have more information here you will get it of course
4. Why are the bug forums so quiet, do you even read them?
Yeah, less than we want, more than you think. The situation has already been described several times: QA is urgently looking for helping hands. We are currently in the interview phase and are trying to get new people on board as fast as possible, but at the moment time is just short and the short time is better spent on bug-fixing and mod-testing than on the forum. This will improve again, don't worry.
5th Forum? There is nobody left (aka where is the Lisertan?)
Unfortunately, some communication channels are currently suffering from the fact that we do a lot of things and therefore have less time to answer/chatter questions. This is especially true for me. A new CC is on its way, but it still needs a few weeks (or months? I hope not months). That's why I'm trying this thread to see if it at least helps a bit.
I know it's not ideal here, but it's worth a try I think.
So go ahead. What do you want to get rid of, know, chat? (And yes, I try to read everything else in the forum in between, but if there is little time, at least this thread is hopefully in here)
