2.6.2 OVERVIEW

The following lists and charts show our progress towards releasing 2.6.2, with all remaining major tasks listed.

Tasks are either feature complete, or have an ETA for completion.

Some tasks may require further QA, bug-fixing and iteration.

Tasks that delay beyond our target dates might cause the release of 2.6.2 to be delayed, or might be excluded from 2.6.2 if appropriate to maintain the release date target.

2.6.2 work is separated into Subsections: Star Marine, Network, UI, and Gamecode

2.6.2 is intended to be a further bugfixing/polish patch with the main aim of improving the player experience, and building upon the foundations for features we introduced in 2.6.0, and built upon in 2.6.1. What we have represented in the schedule below are the smaller improvements to improve the player experience, such as the hopeful inclusion of the Multiplayer Mega Map, support for non 16:9 screen resolutions, fixes for the Arena Commander and Star Marine lobbies, along with general bugfixing from other teams.

As you may notice from this schedule, the aimed date to launch the patch to the Evocati group has been pushed back slightly. This is due to the extra time the Multiplayer Mega Map has required for bug fixing. We want to ensure that this feature gets maximum testing time with the players, which means that our goal for this is to have it available for the first push to Evocati.

We were aiming to have the first version of 2.6.2 published to the Evocati group today, but unfortunately we still have some unforeseen bugs with the Multiplayer Mega Map. The fixes are proving to be more in-depth and complex than initially thought, but the network team is working on these as their main priority, so we can push to the Evocati as soon as we’re able.

BREAKDOWN BY SUBSECTION

STAR MARINE

BUGFIXING

We are aiming to make various fixes to Level Art, Animation, Audio, Props, EVA, and Weapons to improve polish in all the Star Marine environments

ETA is 16th March

ETA is Today

NETWORK

SERIALIZED VARIABLE

SERIALIZED VARIABLE – DELAY

Due to now having the full system working, other areas of the code are now not working as expected. This has caused the completion date for this to slip out. However, we will use the extra QA time to ensure that the system is working as intended

There have been improvements in some areas of the Serialized Variable work, but other parts are not performing as well as we would like. The network team are continuing to work through these issues

ETA is 15th March (was 8th March)

ETA is 21st March (was 17th March)

MULTIPLAYER MEGA MAP

This slipped out a little bit due to technical issues with our internal code checking system. Current work is being submitted that should resolve the issue.

The last round of testing the Multiplayer Mega Map raised some quite serious and unforeseen issues that needed to be fixed before releasing to the Evocati. These fixes were more complex than originally expected which has caused the completion of this to slip even further.

ETA is Today (was 8th March)

BUG FIXING/FRONT END POLISH

The UI team have identified further bug fixes to the Main Menus and some more general gameplay bugs that they are aiming to fix

ETA is 22nd March

SUPPORT FOR NON 16:9 RESOLUTIONS

We are aiming to support non-16:9 screen resolutions to give users a greater visual feel based around their preferred hardware setup

Work is COMPLETE

ETA is 15th March

ARENA COMMANDER SHIP CUSTOMIZER FIXES

Due to a slight lull with other bug fixes, the network team were able to start their bugfixing on the ship customizer a little earlier than expected

Work is COMPLETE

ETA is 13th March

ARENA COMMANDER/STAR MARINE LOBBY FIXES

As with the above the UI team also identified fixes they would like to make in the Arena Commander lobbies

Work is COMPLETE

ETA is 13th March

BUGFIXING

BUGFIXING – DELAY

The Gamecode team are aiming to make further bug fixes to the spectator and camera system, as well as looking to address the intermittent framerate drops during Vanduul swarm and issues with Arena Commander pickups

Gamecode have been needed to assist in fixing further bugs causing their original completion date to slip out by a few days
