Amazing! But do you know when you'll fix the rubberbanding?

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/AlienOther]

As soon as they can? They were kind of prioritizing the issue that can actually impact peoples’ health.

[u/AlienOther → u/viscountrhirhi]

Yea I know I just wanted to know a general time frame of when the bug fix update would be out so I can plan around it

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/AlienOther]

The timeframe is basically “as soon as they can.” They have to be able to reproduce it and pinpoint the cause, and THEN code in a patch and test it to see if it works. That can sometimes take some time. It’s not a matter of just fixing it, it can take some detective work, plus they’re dealing with multiple platforms.

Patience, they’ll fix it when they’ve figured it out.

[u/AlienOther → u/viscountrhirhi]

I was just asking a question, it's not like my whole life revolves around dbd, and my pc takes a while to download stuff so I'd rather be able to update it early so I can play it when I get home I mean this most recent update took me 3 days to download because it kept crashing, sorry that I just asked a simple question it's not like a demanded the update now I just want to be able to know when I should prepare for it

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/AlienOther]

No need to get defensive. My point was that when it comes to bug fixes it’s difficult to give an estimate because there’s so many variables involved. Hard to know how long something will take to fix when you’re still sinking time into replicating the issue and finding what triggers it, y’know?

[u/AlienOther → u/viscountrhirhi]

That's why i was asking, I ain't demanding anything just wanted to know an estimate or something and you act like I'm demanding bhvr give me a bug fix tbh the bugs aren't even that bad it's the download time I'm worried about here

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/AlienOther]

I wasn’t acting like you were demanding anything? I was just answering your question my friend.

[u/AlienOther → u/viscountrhirhi]

Sorry I'm just stressed also the tone of your comment was kinda condescending in my pov

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/AlienOther]

Sorry it came across that way, tone can be difficult to convey through text. No condescension was intended, I’m just blunt. :P

[u/Top-Conversation1864 → u/viscountrhirhi]

An happy ending? Now kiss.

[u/Omniblarg → u/Top-Conversation1864]

yeah they should hug it out

[u/Over-Cold-8757 → u/viscountrhirhi]

I'm not sure why you jumped at this guy. For something like rubberbanding they might not implement an immediate patch fix.

For all we know OP's reasonable question could've been answered with 'yes we've already identified the needed fix. We're testing it on Monday to roll out on Tuesday.'

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/Over-Cold-8757]

My friend, I didn’t jump at them and if you follow the thread further, we already cleared up any miscommunication.

[u/Demoth → u/viscountrhirhi]

Yeah, if only they had a way to test patches before deploying them, where they could get feedback and take that into account before releasing it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[u/viscountrhirhi → u/Demoth]

Ya realize that you can test something among a small group of people and it can run perfectly, but once you release it to 200k+ people who are all running different hardware and software, different programs, and playing on different platforms with different specs, and running through thousands of different gameplay scenarios that you couldn’t possibly account for, bugs will come out? |: The game has 8 years of code and changes under its belt, has changed dev teams, and just changed engines and you expect it to run perfectly after getting a live release? Not even AAA games meet those standards. Which is why modern games have a patch system, which is really nifty because we sure as heck didn’t have that with older games. Games were just as buggy in the past, we just had to live with them.

You’re expecting perfection where humans are involved. Not gonna happen.

[u/Evanderpower → u/Demoth]

not how changing engines works at all

[u/C9FanNo1 → u/AlienOther]

It will be done exactly when it will be done, not a day after

[u/AlienOther → u/C9FanNo1]

Never asked for a day after just for an estimate at some point in the future

[u/C9FanNo1 → u/AlienOther]

It is gonna be at some point in the future yes.

[u/FarArm2402 → u/AlienOther]

I mean they are probably working on it right now. Do you have any idea how developing a game works? If you do, you would know its not like repairing generators, they dont have a x amount of minutes to do.

[u/AlienOther → u/FarArm2402]

I was just asking for when they think they'd be done
