that would explain how one gets the impression that water is just working as intended

 

[Gamida]

The test server

Water cooled...

Hey come on now you were all thinking it

 

[unholyjoe]

Water cooled...

Hey come on now you were all thinking it

but it over-heated... thus the bug issue they are trying to resolve.

Yeah, it's incredible what these programmers come up with to justify a delay, am I right?  :heh:

but the favorite excuse is "no excuse at all"

Oh it is a situation I deal with regularly at work... but yeah

Without water there can be no kraken. Think about it.

 

[Uncle Al]

That's when you release the walktapus instead.

All that tentacly goodness with bipedal locomotion on top.

 

[morggin]

Is it sad that I would rather be here in this forum than doom-scrolling on Reddit/Youtube ....

 

[Teure]

Not really. I often find myself here more than news and reddit too...

It gets even worse with anxiety for juicy news getting closer at any moment...

 

[4sheetzngeegles]

water we waiting for? H2O?... nooooo! Ice thirst for it daily until it drops.  I hope the problem will not freeze development and can be solvent quickly or i will fluid my pants. I cannot jar this up inside for much longer and i Dew collector more anxious each day.

1) Devote all resources to helping that water sim programmer!

His fix seems fine. The new hang was a decoration threading issue, which I think I fixed. We also found another error with getting an animated block update while the world is downloading, which I added a fix for.

They are hitting the servers HARD to find bugs, so some of these may not even happen in normal play.

If you release it, we can hit it harder and find them faster  js

He doesn't even have a name tag!

Just wanted to pop in and thank you for the transparency and updates. We (fiancé and me) have played 7DtD since 2016, but never really followed the pre-update process. A21 looks incredible, and we'll be playing it as soon as it is available.

I love small updates like this! Please keep

them coming

Does that mean that we are close close? Like in close, close close? How deep is the Kraken?

If there is a bug in multiplayer (there is always something in MP) we will encounter it and (if not crazy convoluted) reproduce it. Statistically speaking imagine that there is a 1% chance to find one in a 10 hour gameplay session. That's dozens of people across the world, just in the first day of the streamer weekend. That's one more reason to stay alert there. We can also report to you guys the ones we see in the streams, right? the more eyes the better to find those pesky bugs. 

 

[CyberHellKen]

IMHO, looks like the earliest experimental release would be after next weekend, barring any new MF bugs. If that were the case, we should hopefully get some streamer weekend announcements soon. That would line up nicely with Steam's Next Fest coming in a couple of weeks.

 

[Doomofman]

So they're streaming a playthrough with QA on Wednesday, I guess that means streamer weekend isn't next weekend

(Though I guess you could make the argument that if QA are free for this, then testing is done?)

Since there is a lot of pages to comb through, and i dont have a fine toothed comb, would anyone say that a21 is a fair bit more optimized than a20? like not gonna drag a comp down?
