SPLASH DAMAGE IGNORING THE COMMUNITY!!!!

RipJaw · 2003-06-20 19:54:32 UTC

Why are these people totally ignoring the community on the server crashing issue? Is it something they cant fix? I have PMes the moderator here Locki about this issue and have received no reply what so ever and they are ignoring the pleas of the server operators in the server crash bug thread they started over 2 weeks ago. With support like this I will be damned if I will ever buy a product with the company name on it.

RipJaw = Toolbag

Obviously neither of you run a server and spend half you day restarting it.

_MLK_FOO · 2003-06-20 20:05:42 UTC

My server is up 24/7 with a few crashes a day, are you sure its the not the server owner/ISP/Host fuckin it up?

amazinglarry · 2003-06-20 20:06:40 UTC

Well to my knowledge they’re beta testing the patch for the server crashing issue. And as for a team who put a game out for free, I think they’re doing a damn good job trying to help out and make the ET experience as enjoyable as possible. Patience is a virtue (although certainly not one of mine). And imagine how many people are PM’ing Locki about the same thing every day. Just take it easy, it’ll be fixed soon.

They arent ignoring it, they are currently on Beta Server Patch 11.

Works very well, but just a few kinks needs to be worked out.

If you wanna see it in action, go to Cains Lair… great server.

RipJaw · 2003-06-20 20:08:57 UTC

My server crashs about 6 times a day ,I own the box it also runs a SOF2 server which is based on the same game engine and have never had a problem with that game ever crashing. The problem is with the game. They know about the problem I just wish they would let us know what is going on or at least let us have the beta patch so I could get a break from having to reset the server every couple of hours.

RipJaw · 2003-06-20 20:10:35 UTC

Weaver do a brotha a favor and send me the beta patch so I can get a break.

Vengeance · 2003-06-20 20:12:19 UTC

They have let us know whats going on. They are working on a server patch and beta testing it. These things take time, to rush such things would result in them having to make another patch.

Its obviously annoying for you which is very understandable and all i can say is just be patient it will be released eventually.

bani · 2003-06-20 20:14:01 UTC

the ET engine is heavily modified… they share q3 as a common ancestor but they are NOT the same.

Brinkman · 2003-06-20 20:15:08 UTC

what ever

:blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah:

if you want a development team that ignores the community you should check out Raven Shield… :banghead:

Brinkman · 2003-06-20 20:16:39 UTC

oh yeah dickhead… if you would read the main SD page you’d notice this:

Upcoming Server Patch
Tuesday, June 03 @ GMT Daylight Time Locki ( comments? | )

We are in the process of tracking down and fixing issues that can lead to a server crashing. This includes servers halting with z_Malloc errors due to a memory leak and access violations following multiple msg_Overflow messages in the log file.
We are currently testing a patch on public servers at Splash Damage, id Software and Activision. Providing this patch remains stable, we hope to release it to Server Administrators within the coming week. This would be a server-only patch and would not need to be installed by players.

We’d like to say thank you for the continued support that we are receiving from Server Administrators in helping us track down this issue.

FstFngrz · 2003-06-20 20:17:53 UTC

RipJaw, we all is frustrated when a server crash’s, no one likes it . I can sympathize with you on that aspect, but to come into the forum and state that there is no support and they are ignoring. well, I would have to say that the support from Splash Damage has been Awesome. They do read this forum, they do reply.

Just because they didnt answer Your PM doesnt mean there is no support and they are ignoring the community. Heck was it so top secret that you couldnt post it in the forum that they read. Did you actually look through the forum to find the answer to your top secret PM

YOU are not the COMMUNITY - WE all are

THEY ARE WORKING ON IT

Locki · 2003-06-21 00:05:07 UTC

Hi guys,

After we put up that news post, Djbob (one of our programmers) having worked closely with id Software and Activision was able to put a test patch together. Since then our programming team have been working closely with some volunteer server administrators of big servers who have been helping track down the cause of a number of server crashes. We get reports from them every day and they have really helped a lot.

All of the issues aren’t resolved yet, but we are making good progress and we want to make sure this patch is truly stable before itâ€™s released publicly.

Thanks for your patience, and I apologise for the inconvenience the crashes are causing in the interim.

Paul/Locki.

amazinglarry · 2003-06-21 01:11:51 UTC

Feel better RipJaw?

Awol · 2003-06-21 01:44:06 UTC

Thanks for the update Locki. Hopefully this will shut up some people who act like children when something doesn’t work they way they want.

RipJaw · 2003-06-21 03:09:27 UTC

Loki I would like to apologize for my post ,This is the first I have seen any post from someone that actually knows whats going on. Im just real frustrated with the server crashing all the time. And yes I feel better Larry.

Hopefully we will see something soon. I cant stand to see this message anymore. If I could just get rid of this bug I would be happy.

Thanks for the update Locki, much more appeasing than gods last words to his creation, “Sorry for the inconvenience”.

comm · 2003-06-21 08:58:53 UTC

I have recieved a patch, I breifly talked to them and they said they have almost fixed all the bugs.
