How can 2.6 work if 2.5 is completely broken now?

This makes less than zero sense

Further how the gently caress did they break 2.5 by releasing a patch to a completely separate instance ?

Finally looked up what the gently caress mega map is:

mega map is the technique to stay in the game and do not load between matches or changing between arc corp, your hangar, arena commander. everything is on one mega map. streaming in and no loading screens needed.

So.... basic functionality most games have when the don't need to have the client/server rebooted between rounds?

Whew! I sure hope CIG can nail this one! Especially after they added "saving your game (kind of)"! What technology will they invent next??? :confused:

Actually, this antisemitism is starting to make me uncomfortable .. just because some jews have a well-documented and storied history of harvesting baby foreskins and sucking the babies off during their rituals doesn't mean that they all do

hello, some of this is prob rehashed

2017 is now looking like the last full operational year for CIG (*from the perspective of 2 people who recently left)
several office/staff moves (including the Brno move, disco lando, ben, etc) are still planned
roberts joked at one point "the cheap labor must flow"
the "must deliver" deadline is still march/q1 of 2017 for the sqlude
might be much less than what was planned to be released (think less than an hour of story content, highly repetitive missions to pad playtime, grind, etc)
sqlude will include the new footage shot earlier this year of hamill
direction/management are being shuffled around, some people with no experience are now in charge of dozens of employees
several employees and execs are now gone, including cashing out on promised bonuses or other monies when they left
motion capture problems include missing payments to studios where work was done (backend, most likely)
"If [we] didn't have money in the tank for refunds, delay. Delay, delay, delay. Promise, then delay. That was standard, yes."
had to cut one or several major characters from SQ42
additional mocap is required "to have the story make any sense" thanks to "constant" changes to the script
entire maps, levels, mocap, VA, music and SFX have been thrown out, reworked and thrown out again
what was promised for 2.6, especially networking, won't be in until late Jan/Feb 2017 at the earliest (maybe midyear)
3.0 networking is a massive, complete mess and won't be anywhere ready for 2017
"They are walking the design back on a massive scale. Try and get a refund."
^^ moma that one is for you because the guy who said it, lol, just lol
crunch time has continued now for over six months, some people over a year

if you're in this project for anything over $40, get a refund. get a refund like now. after 2.6 releases to the PU you're going to have a hard drat time getting anything back unless you pledged for the SQ42 package only
