Hey everyone,it's been a wild week of me working on the release version of BMO Files and the release on Friday went better than I had imagined. It was still very stressful and I was awake until 2am every night and back at work at 8am ever morning. I just can't stand the idea of bugs in the game, so I can't stop working. It's not really healthy, but it is what it is. It was still a successfull launch.So far this weekend we had almost 100 players during peak time, and the player number rarely goes below 30. The server had one hickup last night, but I don't know yet if that's a regular thing. It has been relatively stable the rest of the time. There have been a lot of matches played and it seems like the game got mostly positive reception, except for some obvious criticism about things that are unfinished. It's called V0.1.0 for a reason. If you haven't yet, play some games with all the new players and show off your shiny supporter badge and card backs. ;)

That's all from me. I'll try to fix some more game freezing bugs today, but then it's back to BMO TV until the new Alpha is finished. So be aware there might be more client updates coming shortly.Best,Rel

Having a blast with the game. Though is there another hickup now? I'm struggling to get a game not freeze up atm.

Rel.Pink

I don't know. I have more reports, but the code hasn't changed in the regard of the hickups. Shouldn't have anything to do with the version. But I can't just solve it by people saying "it's freezing". ;) Please be more specific.

Rel.Pink

it's just something that happens seemingly at random at this point and I have no idea where to begin. if there's any situation that can be recreated please let me know.

BubbleBobble

I don't think it can be recreated. When it happens for me once it usually goes on for a while though, whether I restart the game or so. Most of the times when it happens, it's when the game starts. It says "Wait for game" but doesn't hand out cards. But it can also happen other times in the middle of an attack it never resolves fully and you get stuck in waiting for opponent. It seems you can still send talk messages though. I have been like "Hello:ing" with the opponent for a while then we both say "Sorry" and one disconnects.

Are you perhaps using a protocol without transport guarantee for some parts where it might be necessary? I'm guessing some lost packages could leave two clients waiting for eachother. Just wild guessing though, but I have noticed times when the UI isn't updated, with arrows from previous battles left behind and programs that this way becomes part of the next battle when they should have been tapped. I know my network is prone to some packet loss which has led to issues in other games that have been using UDP for traffic that needed delivery.

Rel.Pink

No. It has absolute guarantee.

Maybe I'm illiterate, but how do you install on the other player ?

Rel.Pink

Did you play the tutorial? I recommend joining the discord since that question isn‘t answered in one sentence.

Raven Night

is there a single player version of this or is it only multi-player atm?

Rel.Pink

This is a multiplayer game.
