Why are they adding sewing machines , and not fixing the game?

[FrankWhite 2]

With the new update, my frame drop to 1 fps, and I cant move, game crash.

 

I have been pretty upset that, there is no fixes for this game, and they keep adding meaningless stuff like spray paint, and now....sewing machines...

 

I dont understand, I thought this was a zombie game, but why is sewing machines taking priority over bug fixes?  What are sewing machines suppose to do? Does anyone want to start a sewing machine business in cherno? and have others defend us? We can sew cloths for food

[AllenTheGreat 23]

The teams that do bug fixes and create new content are seperate from eachothers. What this means is we can have new content -and- bug fixes!

[leviski 2152]

Sewing machines?

 

you mean sewing kits?

 

haha

 

"Lets check in here...Holy shit! its one of those Juki pro models! arent those like 70-grand? yea man! we hit big, think of all the stuff we are going to sew!

To say that they haven't been fixing the game is ignorant and stupid.

 

Last update (or the one before it?) added 2-3 frames for me. :)

I dont understand, I thought this was a zombie game,

 

No, its not a zombie game. Its a pre alpha build that will be a zombie game in 1-2 years..

 

That means the game is not finish yet, and therefore there will be a lot of bugs, missing features and low content for a long, long time.. This you was told before buying the standalone, and this you must accept.

"Pre-alpha"?

Once a game is released it is, by definition, at least alpha.

[Westerburg 41]

In b4 stupi...awww...too late...OP, why don't you submit a bug report rather than complain about having the ability to fix your ruined clothes. I actually got enough of an fps boost that I can turn clouds and shadows back on AND record video with Action! Though I haven't gone into a major city yet so we'll see.

 

Only downside I've found to the last patch is that all servers seem to be running on a second and a half lag, which makes trying to jump over fences really confusing. I'm glad you can't trip over them or I'd never get anything accomplished.

[soulfirez 901]

Things are going to break now and then when you bought it they warned things would break bugs would happen. As for the why theey adding ya da ya da crap as the other new poster pointed out everyone in the team has different jobs some just make models and textures some make map changes etc these guys would be less help trying to code and bug fix lines of code so they do there job  and the coders do theres.....

 

End result we get bug fixes and we get new stuff at the same time.... Patches are going to break things time to time specially as they are keeping a cracking pace with patches honestly they moving pretty fast which is good and bad cause we get new stuff often but things like this will happen when there hasnt been time to test everything...

 

They warned you of this maybe you should have read the warning before buying aye.. DO i need to make a thread dedicated to how retarded some of the community are/can be/act. ps beans for the new comer hitting right answer straight out....

[skoms 86]

"Pre-alpha"?

Once a game is released it is, by definition, at least alpha.

 

But the game is not released yet. All we got is early access to the current build to support development. I do not call that either "released" or "alpha"

[Valadain 270]

The teams that do bug fixes and create new content are seperate from eachothers. What this means is we can have new content -and- bug fixes!

 

That's likely not true, but the point is valid. The guy who introduced the bug is likely going to be the guy who fixes it and probably won't be the sewing-kit guy. Nor will all bugs be fixed before new features are added. You triage bugs so you don't halt forward progress. The memory leak is likely at the top of the list and the guy who introduced it is likely having a work-a-thon weekend. Stand proud my developer bretheren and ignore the people who just click past the incredibly visible warning that this game is in early development.

^^^^^ thats a hell of a list in such a short time between patches aye, yeah op they are just blindly moving on with no reguard to bugs at all arent they...

[Grimey Rick 3417]

 

 

 

No, its not a zombie game. Its a pre alpha build that will be a zombie game in 1-2 years..

 

That means the game is not finish yet, and therefore there will be a lot of bugs, missing features and low content for a long, long time.. This you was told before buying the standalone, and this you must accept.

 

 

I'm really getting sick of these condescending posts. Way to point out the fucking obvious, besides the fact that you said "pre-alpha". It's not "pre-alpha", it's "alpha". If you have nothing better to spew in a thread than "LULZ ALFER", kindly keep your trap shut. We realize it's a fucking alpha, but we did pay some bones for it, so it should at least be moderately fucking playable. Dropping a game-breaking patch on a Friday is a huge blunder. Period.

You dropped your money on, basically, an instant gratification kick-start. You pre-ordered a game that lets you play before it is finished and ships. What you paid for is something that will come much later, not your experience now.

 

Now, while I'll agree that the "alpha" talk gets annoying when talking about mechanics and design, things to which the state of development doesn't necessarily apply. Here we are talking about a bug and how a company develops a game that isn't even in official release testing yet. So yes, to this conversation, "alpha" is an appropriate response.

It's funny how you guys are so fucking brainwashed. Only on the internet can you convince people it's acceptable to charge money for 15% of something. We're all aware the game is an alpha. But you charged money for it, so at least keep it fucking working. I don't care what you implement; I just want the game to run when I want to play it. If it's in such a terrible state that you're not even sure it's going to run when you load it, don't charge money for it. Then you have the right to tell people to shut the fuck up when it doesn't work. I paid $30 for a game that I know isn't yet complete. I expect errors along the way. I anticipate problems. But dropping a fairly large patch on Friday, grabbing your coat at the door and telling people you'll get it working Monday is borderline retarded. Release the patch on a Monday when your staff is, y'know, working. This isn't a couple dozen people you're fucking over, there are hundreds of thousands of us playing DayZ.

Hmm... I must have hallucinated all the warnings that pretty much told me flat out not to buy the game when I bought the game.

 

I'm not brainwashed, I just actually read the warnings and knew what the heck "early access" meant. I like the development model and would rather it not be ruined by people who think they bought a finished product and that it should be supported like a finished product.

WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING.

 

Yeah. I read the disclaimer. I am prepared to deal with it, like I said in my previous post. But common sense is common sense. Releasing a patch on a Friday is a bad idea, right? Or am I the only one who thinks that? I'm all for them fucking up and having to hotfix something mid-week. That's cool, because it's the best they can do. This wasn't the best they could do; this was poorly orchestrated.

It really depends. A memory leak is a tough one, particularly when it isn't affecting everyone (I've not had any problems at all since the patch). And they were trying to fix what was considered a pretty big issue. Probably before the weekend so that those people could play.

 

It can be a really tough call.

[QUAZIMOFO 275]

You paid to be a tester of the game, and you got a significant discount from what the actual release price will be. Do not be surprised when the game doesnt function properly. Right now, its not supposed to! It just amazes me at how many people can't grasp this concept.

Look man, I really don't want to argue. My only point is releasing a patch on Friday is a bad idea because you don't know what's going to happen. Memory leak happened. Many people now can't play due to a bad call.

No need to surrender, I wasn't attacking. I do this crap for a living, so I was just sharing my viewpoint. I've actually had to make this particular call on multiple occasions and had a similar result on one of those. Put a low-risk patch in to fix a big issue right before a critical-use time and made things worse by creating a new issue. It sucks, but doesn't necessarily make it a bad call as it works out most of the time. I'd chalk it up to "bad luck" more than anything.

stop whingin about fps drops, buy better pc, problem solved.
