Scuffles 0 Posted July 9, 2012 This 1.7.2 patch has destroyed any kind of stability this game had. Yes, this is alpha testing but you cant test when you are stuck on a loading screen. Also when you do join, some people spawned in the 'Wilderness'. Awesome for people that don't have a map/compass. Might as well have someone just kill you, at least there would be a legit reason to respawn. This patch 'promised' a lot but took many steps back in the testing process. Please revert back to 1.7.1.5 while you fix the problem so we can 'test' this mod out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stridsbulten 9 Posted July 9, 2012 Alpha. You know, expect things to be broken from time to time. In fact, for an Alpha, this is usually extremely stable. He will fix it, don't sweat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is in alpha. 1.7.2 is apparently broken and needs to be reverted back...saying it is in alpha doesn't make it a good update. *waits for more alpha comments* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sisirk 4 Posted July 9, 2012 Lol, please be patient. Have you ever tested an alpha version of a mainstream game before, they are plagued with problems..The guys are doing a fantastic job, frustrating as it might be for the player we need to suffer some backsteps from time to time in order for the dev's to push forward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 9, 2012 How can we fix/test the latest version if we never play it?It's just stuff; you can find more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Techercizer 82 Posted July 9, 2012 There's major, sometimes game-breaking issues in the alpha version of a mod? Good, now go throw yourselves into them to collect data. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andb52 12 Posted July 9, 2012 There are still plenty of 1.7.1.5 servers for you to play on for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nebucatnetzer 0 Posted July 9, 2012 I don't think the connection problem has something to do with the patch.I reckon it's more likely that too many players would like join at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is in alpha. 1.7.2 is apparently broken and needs to be reverted back...saying it is in alpha doesn't make it a good update. *waits for more alpha comments*For a great many players (including myself), 1.7.1.5 was unplayable too. I could not play for the past 2 weeks. Reverting back would not be progress. The world does not revolve around you or any other individual player. Each update and problems help the game get developed. That is how it works.Sometimes you may not be able to play for a while, or along while. Go to a bug thread and post the info you have on why you can't play. It helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
albinorhino 174 Posted July 9, 2012 And thus the OP proves that the current generation of mainstream gamers are morons. This is an alpha. An early build of the mod if you will. It is still under construction.I wonder how many people tried to drive / walk across Tower Bridge when it was still under construction and then started screaming at the government that it needed to be taken down as it wasn't finished so everyone could go back to using boats to get across.

Scuffles 0 Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, understandable, as this is a game where you shouldn't get attacked to your gear and whatnot. But having a bugged spawn like that...I honestly killed people that spawned, hiding on a hill sniping them as they load. I figured I'd do them a favor. But after server stability went to crap my murders were only half of what they should have been, and I lost a gun in the process. I don't mind my 20km run to my base but DAAYYYUMMMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
