New build tonight

Ok, after spending all day trying to find the bug it should be fixed. We will be pushing a new build as soon as we can that addresses a huge number of server crashes that have been making life not happy.

We also have a potential fix for the lobby owner transition issue in this build.

Just a heads up as we've all been heads down trying to track this down.

Please assume the position, I have to make love to you now!

Woo, does the lobby update properly now? I've seen a game sit in my lobby screen for a whole day.

I am again thankful to your small band of furious hand addicts.

My body is ready. But not like that.

Ew.

What caused the crash?

So where, metaphorically speaking, are everyone's heads at this moment in time?

Hopefully still attached to their shoulders. If heads have started to roll I'd be worried....

Ok, so just finished a test game. Seems good to go.

There ARE still some serious lobby issues. Tomorrow that is going to be the focus.

The crash was caused by a NaN propogating due to some unsafe math in unit motion code.

Unsafe math?!

Every time.

NEW BUILD YESSSSSS

Will the Halley related bugs be fixed as well?

Halley related bugs?
I didnt have any problems with the Halleys; besides the change orbit not working, which I suppose is intended. If you have problems launching it you have to click on the target icon next to the planet you want to launch it at then select a location by left clicking.

Cancel not working and the Halley ui obstructing the planet that you want to smash.

Remember people:

Always use protection. Safe math stops the spread of NaNs!

Marc put up the build notes, so no other fixes.

Expect rapid builds though as we try to quickly kill the big stuff.

Buildalanche?

you so personally relate your stress to me and the community, it makes me feel bad how personally you take a bug in a build and how high you amp up the work at your personal costs to fix them.

it may inconvinence players, builds which break, but if its any testament, you will overclock your work serverely because you take broken builds so personally. Shows you don't mean your players any inconvinence at least, you guys really do care.

best of luck and best of wishes. Thanks for heads up.

Buildnado?

Broken **** is highly stressful, yes. Two step sforward one step back. C'est la vie.

I personally can't wait till I have enough coding knowledge to jump in and join the stress handball club.

I'll probably regret it later. But for now, it's all anticipation.
