E1ite · 20th July 2009, 23:30

For the non-programmers amongst us, what is this hardcoding about? imbedding something in client?

NizeGuy · 20th July 2009, 23:30

Good post from Mats. Cleared some things and I can finally go to sleep

Andi89 · 20th July 2009, 23:30

Juhuuu, Info is here. Mats saved us...

I feel satisfaction

Helious · 20th July 2009, 23:30

Mats, if I can get one question in?

To avoid people falling for scams and other links, how will we be getting the information for beta download? via email? Account page?

The Beta download is another thing. We don't want to say we postpone the Beta download, because we will work 24/7 until things are fixed. It may happen this minute or in the next hours.

We are working constantly on sorting out the shop-issues with Block A. They are, as you probably know, tied to the Beta access. The download is delayed as we still work with the problems with Block A and account access (your client needs to access the account database when starting the game, and if that doesn't work, you can't start the game). If we don't get the accounts to work very soon, we are considering hardcoding this directly into the client. But that's not a good thing to do, as it mean another download as soon as we sort out the shop issues. We're still giving the shop a final try to avoid this.

I personally see it as it is being pushed back every minute now, as we would have liked to release it a couple of hours ago.

Hopefully not. Or at least not more than a couple of hours.

We're going to wait for your damn download until we know everything will work, ok? Or do you prefer downloading something you cannot start?

No, blame me and Henrik for trusting the world's biggest and most experienced account provider.

Yes we have, as we are the ones finally responisible for you. However, I cannot see how this could have worked differently. We have invested a lot of money in getting the best shop/account-provider money can buy, to avoid problems like this, to give you security and reliability, and instead be able to focus on the game. It didn't work out.

Me too.

There might be, but that means hardcoding access into the client, and that's a final resort.

Thanks for the update Mats!

Relyks · 20th July 2009, 23:30

Well I'm done with this thread. PZ

Kedahl · 20th July 2009, 23:30

Thank you for the update mats, and im sure everyone at SV is working as hard and fast as they can to get this fixed.

skeaser · 20th July 2009, 23:30

I don't get how this works...o well, I'll check back later.

I guess I am missing something out, but starting preorders few days earlier, would give you more time to resolve the problems, and get more time to prepare to launch the client?

No offense, you just asked how it could work differently.

ZMaster · 20th July 2009, 23:31

I'd rather have the game downloaded and wait while you fix the accounts. Seriously.

Thanks to all SV members, working their ass off to get things rolling for us!

This is Beta! So await a few problems ... cause thats what beta is for. If it gets delayed a few hours ... so be it!

E1ite · 20th July 2009, 23:34

hmmm 23:46 here, few more hours needed maybe, + additional hours = im going to bed soon instead

cya guys in the morning.

So, you cannot start the patcher and if they have to hardcode it into the client, i don't think that you would be able to patch it this easy by copying a little file into the installation... So you would meabe have to download all again

If you hard-code the client.. do you still think it will be up in hours.. or will it be more like a day or two? Not trying to harass you or the other Devs, just curious. Thank you

Mats. Don't waste too much time responding to people who cannot possibly fathom the amount of work you and the rest of the team are doing, and have done so far. There are things I wish SV would have done differently so far, but when all is said and done, you guys know what's best for your game.

Keep up the good work.

Orbious · 20th July 2009, 23:35

Very nice update, glad to know whats going on now, and very glad to know you will keep working on it so hard!
