1.5?

Post by orion_winterfire »

Any official word or unofficial thoughts about the arrival (or lack thereof) of lw 1.5, now that we have only 10ish weeks before the release of a vanilla expansion that's sure to complicate matters?

What? Read the patch notes thread or something. There's your thoughts. It's coming eventually, what retarded shit is this 'or lack thereof' crap

If there are likely to be compatability issues between lw and the expansion, PI could decide to postpone most/all work on lw until they know what they have to do to make it play nice with the expansion. Or the patch could be delayed if manpower is diverted from 1.5 to work on a whole new version of lw for the expansion.

We are still testing fixes for a few stubborn bugs, and looking at some smallish mid/late game balancing tweaks. One tester just finished his Legend campaign last night, so we are all going over his notes, and trying to convince him to get some sleep before starting a new campaign. :D

As with all things software related, "it'll be ready when it's ready" is the only honest answer I can provide.

I see it's been updated with a lot of good fixes. Depth Perception was totally bugged all this time? :shock:

And Haven Advisors can stay in squads, so the haven-squad assignment UI will at last cease to be something that !@#$ing sucks. Hurray.

Only anti-dodge part of it. You can edit XComLW_SoldierSkills.ini and change DP_ANTIDODGEBONUS into DP_ANTIDODGE_BONUS to unbug it.

Nice. Thank you so much for the response. PI is a breath of fresh air when it comes to communication.

Glad i noticed this before starting my latest HQ mission with my 3 snipers squad, the Anti Dodge is the real reason i put a Depth Perception PCS to all of them, not the +5 aim so i would also say it was totally bugged :shock:

Thank you guys for this fantastic mod! I would rather call it an expansion!

Patch 1.5 got lots of goodies in it! When can we get our hands on it? :D
I would gladly accept a "beta" patch, where I cant complain about bugs!

Thanks again for your awesome work on Long War! I would buy this if it was an expansion! (Maybe Devs from Xcom 2 will read this).
Best Regards, from Sweden.

We aren't doing Beta patches because we don't have the manpower to track feedback from two different versions out in the world. Half the feedback posts wouldn't say which version they were playing, and we'd have to query ... it'd ultimately make a final 1.5 take a lot longer to get out.

Ok, fair enough! 8-)

Thanks for a quick reply! ...on a saturday even! :)
If you want any beta testers that does provide the correct feedback, I can see quite a lot on this site.

Cheers!

Really? To me it would seem relatively straightforward to have a closed or semi-open beta where anyone who downloads it is admonished to make very clear what version they're using before submitting any feedback. You could even insist they only give feedback within a certain subforum.

(I know you have official testers, what I'm describing would be a next-level thing for when you have certain stable/milestone pre-releases for wider testing)

Anyway, release management and doing betas is a chore so I never tell people how they should manage it. All I'm saying is that segregating "1.5-beta1", "1.5-beta2", and so on feedback in its own place seems like quite a small and solvable part of the problem.

My latest 1.4 campaign was going so well just out of the gate. Then suddenly, half my rookies get killed in just three missions!
I thought it was some sort of bug, so I was coming to complain, but now I see that it was YOUUUUUUUUUU!

Never attribute to trolling that which can be adequately explained by overenthusiasm with English-as-a-second-language
