[2004-28-07]

The patching process is going on, in collaboration with Mythic we have resolved the bug we told you about in a previous news. Unfortunately this correction delayed the whole process : it is around 5PM and there are still some more hours of work left on this version. More information about this as soon as possible. Be patient, you should soon be able to discover the novelties of 1.69 !

:puke:

how could they have a "bug" when they said they have been testing it on internal server for ages?

No servers are up currently. Orcanie was supposed to be up for testing and not for actual players. Hence the subsequent shutdown.

There is a fairly major bug which took a long time to fix and didn't show up on the test server. We think it's fixed now and will be testing the servers in a few minutes.

There is news of the patching progress on the news site but our bandwidth is being absolutely hammered right now. For now we ask you to be patient, we are working to get the servers back up as soon as possible and no-one is going home toinight until it's all sorted and stable.

Methinks all that talk of internal testing was bullshit :) Used to be a admin on another game and it'd be rare for a problem like to just spring outta the air when you've been running it on a carbon copy of one of the live servers for a few weeks.Most things show up straight away if you have a testing team with a collective IQ higher than room temperature.
Incidentally anyone else actually like it when they cant get online? Breaks the addiction for you! GF was happy anyway a full day of my undivided attention!(Can play all night now with no bitching!)

:sex: :sex: :cheers:

Thats not quiet accurate is it Requiel? The GOA news says:

Be patient, you should soon be able to discover the novelties of 1.69 !

According to the news above, it was NOT a new bug but one they had known about previously. Are you saying that the GOA news is reflecting inaccurrate information? If so how can we beleive the news, if it does not relate to the truth?

Wouldn't it of been better to take one of the live servers down out of core hours e.g. 0300hrs and then see if there where any patching problems?

To me it feels as if FH is hammered too. It's way slower than it has been the last days...

You know, I wouldn't be a GM for all the tea in China - all those collective dummies being thrown out of prams would give me a headache.


For myself, thankyou for keeping us informed!

It's entirely accurate.
As the news says, the bug that we identified in testing was fixed.
As I said a bug which didn't show up in testing was found when we patched to a live server. I don't see how these statements are contradictory at all.
As to the testing process, 1.69 has been in testing for some time now. The bug we encountered this afternoon wasn't present on the test server and couldn't possibly have been missed if it was.

Fair play, the news was accurate, but accurate up to a given point, lets look at it again while the servers come up
:D

1) You have fixed the bug previously referenced in a news item
2) The correction to the bug you new about delayed the server patching process
3) At around 5pm you realised you had another bug and this would take a few hours more to eliminate

Shouldn't the news have said then that you had corrected a known bug, but have found a few more critical bugs and need more time to resolve them?

What i was stating previously is that the News does not say that you have found more bugs, just that it took you more time than you thought to correct a known bug?

So then at the time the News was put on the homepage, NO NEW bugs were known about?

Jigsaw, leave the poor GM alone... just let them get on with feeding the tech's with coffee and donuts.. or whatever they have there.

Only yesterday I was fixing a problem for a user, and they got me a lovely bar of chocy, it made all the difference hehe

Were not allowed to receive presents from users at work, it might make us feel guilty and do some work...

Forgive me if i'm wrong but aren't the english servers just patched with the same thing as the american servers, with just the goa optional content added in? Or is 1.69 too much for our 486 server ><
