Friday with Means - Aug. 28th, 2009: The Joys of Jetlag
Colin returns from vacation, jetlagged and tired but still ready and willing to write another exciting edition of Friday with Means!
With time and work on the new engine we have finally been forced to update the AO codebase from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005 (for intergration work with the Dreamworld engine.). This is creating some client instability we would REALLY like to resolve before the update makes it to live. The sheer complexity of the AO codebase and world needs players and activity for us to see these issues...it is impossible for us to discover these issues through normal/sane testing routines. The sooner we get these issues out of the way the sooner we can bring the Nightclub and the new Shadowlands instanced playfield to the live dimensions. Thanks to all who have already been a huge help in eliminating some issues that will be repaired in the next version. Great to see all of you again! I can't wait to get things rolling again I will get to my forum mails as soon as the dust begins to settle here....so sorry about the delay for those who wrote to me in the last few weeks. Edit: MstrBstrd requested I link this "Cyberpunk enough for ya" work-in-progress Opi head image. --Colin "Means" Cragg Game Director, Anarchy Online This post can be viewed on our forums at the following location:
