New Year’s Bug Fixes

January 8th, 2012

We have another round of bug fixes… and by “bug fixes” I mean mostly typos.

Speaking of typos, thanks to GoldS, RazielSonofKain, GoldS, Al, Cryptodynamic, GoldS, Argeth, GoldS, Cank, Vholes Piper, GoldS, ThunderBird, Mag, and GoldS for help tracking down typos.

  • Fixed a display bug with Better Part of Valor runs. Thanks Mag and xKiv.
  • Lieutenant rank now carries through whitelists properly. Thanks for the bug report, Barton26.
  • White noise programs should now deduct from perception properly. Good eyes, Al, good eyes.
  • The testing lab outside the Slags can now be salvaged like other computers. Good suggestion, BigBellyJarelli.

Cheers!

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Bugfix

December 23rd, 2011

We’ve got a nice round of bugfixes and minor changes for the Christmas season. I hope you’re all enjoying the snowmen so far.

  • Starting off, we have the one that you’re most likely to notice: distracting guards in the sewer hideout is now substantially more effective. Thanks to BigBellyJarelli and Mag for this one.
  • Then we have the one that probably has the most impact on, well, the game not being a mess. Thanks to GoldS, we were able to squash an item duplication bug. Big round of applause for GoldS!
  • We also managed to squash a long-standing bug with gaining stats that increase your HP not healing you properly (giving you empty HP instead of full ones, basically). Good catch, Arkaim!
  • And, lastly, Monarch’s Call should now work properly in the Abandoned Subway. Thanks, Barton26.

To round out our list, we’ve got some typo fixes thanks to Vholes Piper, Argeth, Mag, Arkaim, and GoldS.

Cheers!

The Floodgates

December 11th, 2011

So, apparently I underestimated how many more bug reports I get when I post the fixes in the devblog. Nothing major, but a list of changes for the week:

  • All opponents should use Brutality appropriately now. Some were getting the bonus damage even if you had a Technique. Filthy cheating enemies.
  • Fixed a bug causing improbable guns to decay too quickly. Good catch, Cryptodynamic!
  • Updated the art for Brutality and fishing in the sewers to be less confusing. Thanks for the suggestions, Al!
  • Sorted out some weirdness eating specters. Thanks for eating absolutely everyone, Vholes!
  • Free fights should now properly refresh the character pane. Thanks again, Al!
  • Corrected some weird encounter logic in the Winter of our souls… I mean, the Fractured Reflection. Direct all applause to Vholes Piper.

And thanks to Barton26, Mag, GoldS, Arkaim, and Vholes Piper for typo reports.

Cheers!

Fix Catch-Up

December 4th, 2011

Sometime around Halloween, minor bug fixes stopped getting reported in the shuffle. Sorry if you helped me fix something and I didn’t manage to thank you.

A few fixes I have notes for:

  • Fixed an error clicking on your current avatar. Good catch, Al!
  • Corrected some issues with the Halloween candy grab bag. Thanks, Dennis and Heriodule!
  • I stopped reporting minor bug fixes. Thanks for pointing that out, Mag!

Also thanks to (at least) Vholes Piper, BigBellyJarelli, Dan, Cryptodynamic, Borkman, Factitious, Mag, Isladar, pete, suuljin, Thrillhouse, Happy Yeti, and Thrillhouse for reporting typos.

Cheers!

Urban Renewal

September 22nd, 2011

A new layer of paint has been added to Southside Park. I think it held up surprisingly well, but there were a few places it didn’t stand the test of time.

The quest itself hasn’t changed much, but things will hopefully seem a bit more alive and human now. Let me know what you think.

Cheers!

Labor Day Labor

September 5th, 2011

Bug fixes and little updates ahoy!

  • Returning to the Fang’s hideout after killing all the guards should now display the appropriate options. Good catch, BigBellyJarelli.
  • Salvaged items now immediately appear in the list to resalvage. Good eyes, Pete!
  • There are now a “Newest” and a “First” link the profile list. Good suggestion, Vholes.
  • Offhand items are now properly unequipped when you have a cyberdoc remove your cyberarms. Thanks, Sir Cheddar!
  • Corrected an issue where credits you received in your mail wouldn’t update your character pane properly. Thanks for the bug report, Cank!
  • Logging in to a lab computer then immediately back out now counts as walking away and, when appropriate, loitering. Good eyes, DoctrZombie.

And special thanks to Factitious, Mag, Borkman, DoctrZombie, Cryptodynamic, Thrillhouse, and Vholes Piper for some typo finding.

Cheers!
