Update Speculation thread

I understand but 5 hotfixes are 5 hotfixes

 

more hotfixes doesn't equal more bugs, it just means they're quicker at packing and deploying the hotfixes.
the total number of bugs that needed fixing were only as much as any other feature update, they were just spread out across more releases.

 

not to say that they releast the update sooner
1- because everyone wants it so
2- because its easier to find bugs

 

I doubt that's really a factor when it comes to the release schedules; once an update is done (i.e. feature complete and stable enough for the public branch), it gets released. You could argue that what makes an update feature complete is ultimately influenced by us but once the contents of an upcoming update are set in stone we're pretty much unable to persuade the devs into releasing it earlier.

Maybe I got it all wrong and by all means, yell at me if I did.

 

I meant there's no drawback in releasing the update a bit sooner, we expect bugs here and there

 

The duas they will finally add something quirky french, beamng 2.0 would be out for a year

 

Cherries NES when (based on Citroen DS)
and yes I did just name it after a Nintendo console, DS is also a Nintendo console and I have no other ideas)

 

The devs have been really quiet lately, I wonder if they might be cooking up something big for the 0.31 update.

 

Devs are usually quiet after an update.
I do think 0.30 was released bit earlier than planned, i think it was supposed to drop around 2-6th October, it could be a big coincidence, but Tokyo game show was the same week which they were attending (21-24th September) (source: beamng linkedin)
There have also been updates in past that had also 5 patches, so 0.30 isnt the only one (patch 5 V0.9, V0.11.05 , 0.23.5 and 0.25.5)
Also all patches dropped week before the "supposed" date, some of the things might have been fixed if they dropped on the "original date" leading to less patches. I do think devs are trying to have a somewhat strict 3 month update schedule, so next update might be either week or two before Christmas or early January, and i dont think they are cooking anything more than they usually are. The 3 months schedule does seem a bit though tho, we will get smaller updates, and probably quite a few bugs, so i wont get too hyped and expect anything too much.

 

Everything you said makes sense, the devs are quiet because the update just released and they are probably going to have a small update.

 

i think 0.31 will be a two part update with the first half coming in early december, and the christmas surprise will be 0.31.1 with the second part, like it was back in 0.24. (bastion update).

Just wish they'd fix the chase me AI, would be great to have better police chases or chases in general without them taking themselves out
alot of the time or being confused how to drive.
