UC: A World Apart Patch Glitch [Aug 31, 2005, 4:39 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
3000AD sends along word on a glitch with the initial release of the version
1.00.03 auto-update for Universal Combat: A World Apart. Here's word on the
problem, and the updated update, which does not iterate the game's version
number:
Yesterday we released the v1.00.03 patch to the public via the in-game patch Updater. We have since discovered that an incorrect character asset was included in the original game distribution. This would cause one of the Instant Action scenarios (IA0113) which uses that asset, to fail upon loading.
To this end, we have re-issued this patch today and corrected this problem.
For those who have not yet updated their version, running the in-game Updater will download the new version.
For those who have already updated their version, the steps described in the v1.00.03 section of the recently updated version control file show how to force the Updater to re-download and re-apply the patch.
We apologize for this error. Hope you are enjoying the game as much as we enjoyed developing it.
Mr. Smart is fully aware that his design and implemenation decisions are what keeps his games from being bigger sellers
...as opposed to what other type of blockbuster games exactly?
That argument is just plain silly. You are either developing a game for the masses or for a select group of people. Since day one, I have made it quite clear that I don't develop games for the masses. Obviously.
Apart from that, what about all those other games which FLOP badly and lose millions when THEY were designed by people who thought they knew wtf they were doing and what market they were catering to.
You either know your install base or you don't. I know my install base. I also know that I don't have to do a fucking thing to change it. Why? because the install base is large enough to keep me doing what I'm doing. I'm not greedy and I'm quite content with that which I have. I mean, there are only so many ways you can spend a few millions in your life time.
Game developers are just human beings who happen to make games for a living. If you want to hold us up to higher standards of conduct, then go ahead
...but don't be surprised if we don't uphold them
