The only information is sometime today.
Still crashes in 3rd person view..
finaly a bunch of stuff i was wondering about are solved…….
Known issues: Let’s just not fix em and see how the game reacts… How about fix them and then… well, see what you messed up unintentionally so you can fix those unintentional mistakes?
Am I crazy or is this normal in the gamingworld today? this feels for me they are doing things the wrong way around…
Thats pure quality management… It’s a TEST SERVER!
Nah it’s pretty common. Some issues effect more people then others. So instead of focusing on one problem that only effects a handful of people, they’ll focus on the larger ones and places them in a small patch. Then when the bigger patches come out, they’ll take care of those issues. They also put out the known issue list to try and get more feed back on those issues from people who never reported, but did have those issues.
Either that, OR the team has a shit load of things to do and can’t fix everything at ones since they’re only human and they have more important bugs to fix AND they will fix it later. Dear god, some people -_-
No it is the normal way in software development. They say they know of some issues, you must not report them anymore. But they couldnt fix them yet. Its a Test Server. But sound bug is known issue for year 🙂 .
Buff even 90 please
The penetration marker is always red on some vehicles. – this is due to the rigged RNG for some players 😛
“Client crashes upon minimizing and maximazing it on WinXP.”
Now, thats a bummer.
Known issue:
Object 268 v4 is still breaking the tier 10, and so is Super Conqueror… but hey, who cares
“Decreased the time required for loading the first map after starting the game client.”
Finally, I won’t have to start off sessions in arty because I wouldn’t get to a position in time in a regular tank
