Palaiogos Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Seriously, how come in every open source game, their forums become quiet before a release. Is it a tradition or something with open-source games? I mean, even people on the BeamNG drive forums do it, so I am wondering why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think it is fairly logical. The developersare busy with the release itself and there isn't as much activity in general since it was a long time since the last release. And to some extent I guess people are silent because they feel as if there isn't much value in talking at that point. It's too late to influence the upcoming release, and if you don't follow the development version you don't know ad much about what is to come so it's hard to discuss that as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphyrth Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 When majority of the active forumers are also involved in the development, it's expected that the forums become quiet when much of the focus is sucked by ensuring the stability of the next alpha. Don't worry, there are whiners like us who can keep it "alive" to some extent. And, yes, this is one of the drawbacks of Open Source. You just have to get used to it.

What is an in sync error? 0 A.D. uses a (typical for RTS as far as I understand) network model where only commands (rather than entire simulation state) are sent between clients, and the simulation state is calculated on each client independently. Normally the calculation result is exactly the same, but if it differs, let's say due to a bug, the game clients aren't "in sync" anymore and you receive an out-of-sync (OOS) error.

Ah, so you're voting for clinton? Seems to have worked though, as the second release candidate is being packed and tested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
