In project management, a death march is a project that the participants feel is destined to fail, or that requires a stretch of unsustainable overwork. The general feel of the project reflects that of an actual death march because project members are forced to continue the project by their superiors against their better judgment. Software development and software engineering are the fields in which practitioners first applied the term to these project management practices. Other fields have since recognized the same occurrence in their own spheres and have adopted the name. Death marches of the destined-to-fail type usually are a result of unrealistic or overly optimistic expectations in scheduling, feature scope, or both, and often include lack of appropriate documentation or relevant training and outside expertise that would be needed to accomplish the task successfully. The knowledge of the doomed nature of the project weighs heavily on the psyche of its participants, as if they are helplessly watching themselves and their coworkers being forced to torture themselves and march toward death. Often, the death march will involve desperate attempts to right the course of the project by asking team members to work especially grueling hours (14-hour days, 7-day weeks, etc.) or by attempting to "throw (enough) bodies at the problem", often causing burnout. Often, the discomfort is heightened by the knowledge that "it didn't have to be this way"; that is, that if the company wanted to achieve the goal of the project, it could have done so in a successful way had it been managed competently (such as by devoting the obviously required resources, including bringing all relevant expertise, technology, or applied science to the task rather than just whatever incomplete knowledge a few employees happened to possess). Patent under-resourcing is especially offensive at a large corporation with sufficiently deep pockets; at least at small companies, a gap between resources and needs is understandable, but at large, profitable, cash-rich companies, under-resourcing is not a necessity and thus feels to most workers like stupidity. Business culture pressures, such as the long-noted phenomenon of corporations pursuing short-term maximization of profits via cost cutting or avoidance that is damaging to long-term best interest, may play a role in addition to mere incompetence.

CIG pushed out a patch on Sunday afternoon. Not only did Chris cancel an early Christmas, but also the weekend. quote:Star Citizen Patch 2.6.0j Patch Notes At least Crusader is open again. Chunks of the patch are missing, and 2.6 PTU somehow broke 2.5. Spending the weekend on a patch that only addresses minor issues must be demoralising. They have only just introduced additional logging to track down their biggest bug, so I don't have much faith that they will get it done by Christmas. They will likely have to push 2.6 to live, even if it is broken. Otherwise players will be stuck over the holidays with a 2.5 that doesn't even let them spawn ships.

Update on 2.5:quote:Support just got back to me this morning, stating that they understand the live version of the game has been rendered unplayable (invisible players, missing ships, bugged hangars and broken AC). Furthermore, they told me that the development team is fully focused on fixing this issue through to push of patch 2.6 which, according to this email, is "to be released live this week." Pretty much what I expected. Broken or not, 2.6 is getting released this week.

Today's patch still doesn't add leaderboards, or scanning, and apparently fixes yesterday's crashes (yay!). - New! Star Marine – Whenever a player respawns, all players will experience a lag spike - New! Being invited to a Multiplayer Match, then exiting and joining a Multiplayer game will always put you in a Battle Royale on Broken Moon - New! Combat Visors have a chance of not showing up in some ships.

 I can't get over how many citizens are saying that SM is a good FPS. I'm not a huge FPS player, but I have played CS, Quake 3, Halo 2, etc. and still play the occasional single player FPS like Wolfenstein and Doom. It's pretty clear even from video that it is nowhere near any popular game. It plays like a FFA arena shooter with no consideration given to weapon balance or 'moment to moment' strategic decision making and flow. If you don't ignore the networking or that there is never going to be 'high level play' due to no ranked/private matchmaking, it's trash tier.

New PTU patch, still not on live. - They implemented the new item system for the fish tank, so now you can put fish in it again. - They removed the 'tab' keybind. It now doesn't do anything. - No leaderboards (They should just pretend it wasn't supposed to have one). - Still need to restart client to get a new lobby invite. - Appears to have fixed the error bugs from two patches ago. Only one really bad problem? gently caress it, this one's going live tomorrow.

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:Wanna bet Amazon gave them a huge loan, and exchange forced them to use lumberjack? Lumberyard has VR support, replaced crynetwork (!), Xbox One/PS4 support (lol), a 'better' cloud architecture, and will likely get Vulkan support. Also the engine is a newer branch of CryEngine that is actively being developed and improved upon. Both CIG and Amazon can spin this as a big win, and I wouldn't be shocked if CIG got a deal on the AWS side of things. But in reality CIG need's all the help it can get and Amazon is desperate to get people using their engine. This is a big technical bailout, but it is still a far cry from everything that's been promised. Can't wait for Citizen's to start spinning this as the only possible thing CIG could have done, and that the game couldn't have been made if the switch didn't happen. Implying that backers were being strung along by promises that couldn't be kept until this 'opportunity' surfaced six months ago.
