Patch 1.7.8 discussion (limit balance discussion for now)

S2Fielding · 01-29-2009, 10:30 PM

Hey,

1.7.8 is up - this thread will be used to discuss it balance, bugs, etc..

If you have bugs or crashes to report, please post them in red like this.

If you experience any freezing please quit the game immediately and navigate to \my documents\savage 2 - a tortured soul\game\ and find the file named "console.log." Send that file to kyle@s2games.com with subject: I froze in game.

Do me a favor and keep the balance discussion to a minimum until, lets say, Monday Feb 2nd. I want players to have time to adjust to the new items and skills before making balance assessments. For example, I'm pretty sure the overwhelming opinion will be that wingspin is overpowered, until people learn how to fight against it and to expect it, then that opinion may change drastically. I'm not saying that Wing Spin isn't over powered (or underpowered for that matter) I'd just like posts on the subject to be reflective of how the game plays once people have adjusted to the changes.

All bugs/issues etc are welcome.

We are already aware of the bug causing hunter's wingspin to do too much building damage and it has been fixed for the next patch.

I couldn't finish reading the patch notes when it was updating.

Does the patch differ in any way, shape, or form from the sneak peak's patch notes?

Edit: K, found it, and it's exactly the same. Awesome.

Don't forget to do the voice tips for Shield of Sol and the new Wingspin, Fielding! :p

Not exactly the same - hunter's venemous no longer triggers power absorption.

EDIT: Also, I'm aware the new skills need updated voice tips. We plan to have them in by the next patch. The new frenzy needs one too.

Icon for Advanced Sights is missing, it just shows the black white null texture
On Bunker, on the ground there are also some textures missing, also showing the black white caro

Have you messed with texture archives at all? It's showing up for me. Which client are you using? Windows, Steam, Mac, or Linux?

IsSuE · 01-29-2009, 11:08 PM

Nope, have not messed with any archives. I am using stanzui, that could cause the problem though.
I am using the 32bit Linux Client.

OMG: if you are paying a voice guy please please please add "Lead With Honor" if you get made officer (especially if you are on the field or sitting in load out waiting for a portal).

FYI - we're aware of a bug with wingspin where it's doing too much building damage. Will fix in the next patch.

We'll put up a hotfix patch to fix this for linux/mac clients. We included the textures but it seems there was a problem with how we tried to apply them - some paths got messed up.
