Update Speculation thread

Whats said about steamdb qa_latest, is it nothing at all or is that the one said to be updated more frequently when a update is getting closer (possibly due to bugfixes)? It had an about 35ish hours ago and now 9 hours ago. I doubt the update will come this week so not trying to stir up the hype, just curious about it.

 

There is no hype, one of the devs last week told us to hold up with hype (our horses ). For me next week will be another teaser because everyone know that last update had teasers where time difference between them was 2 weeks. It's not the first time. Also we don't have anything to hype. Covet is exciting but how many weeks u can live by hyping on front from abowe, half of back and early sketches ? If they post anything new regarding game, new car or some remakes then we can hype again

 

As far as i remember I think they wanted to go back to 3 months. But i may be wrong. Seeing its over 6 months. Or 5 if you count the late Dec content update.


BUT even the last update had the Creator Program done at this stage.


I think something bad must of happen And/or the super car is being a super pain to make.


And/OR maybe they doing another remaster ( hoping for moonhawk remaster )

 

i think they want to make the update 0.25 very relevant

 

I might sound like a idiot but, What is steamdb?

 

In that case, we're both idiots

 

How can you guys not know what steamdb is when reading this thread lmao?

Ah, I see. Thanks.

 

what does it do?

 

It shows things such as active and historical player count and obviously branches updates, including dev branches.

 

I sure hope so. I mean I think the Poor dev Team are working so hard more then normal

 

Judging by the announcement that 32-bit systems aren't supported anymore, I think the devs spent a very long time trying to optimise some new feature or update for those systems, only to realize it was impossible and give up. It happens and hopefully that means an easier time for the devs in the future.

 

there's so much more in updates than a car
my point is just that it could be many things, either a set back or they are making something bigger behind the scenes.

 

To add-on to that, content creators can wait just like the rest of us imo lol. I do not see any reason for a creator branch, other than outside testing sources. Plus, didn't they do something last update to help with the bug finding/fixing process to lower the number of hotfixes and or, patches?

If it's just for YouTubers to prepare videos, well, they can wait like the rest of us.

 

Will the removal of the 32-bit make the game work more smoother?

 

i guess UI will be overhauled, in last update was the job half done

 

Probably not. It’s the removal of another client. If you use 64-bit mode like a sane human, the only thing you would notice is the reduced file sizes

 

Youtubers also give feedback tho, like Ermin Hamidovic that gives great insights on force feedback and driveability of the cars, also bugs and other stuff, this is why a selected few Youtubers get access to that branch, some for the driveability, some for the atention to detail, and so on, they are a powerful tool for the devs, because when you work on something yourself, there are always something you didn't think about that end users end up doing and kinda break what you done.

 

Calm down the Law of Jante...

The point of the content creator program is not to find bugs.
It just gives creators a chance to create an update showcase, without having to stress about having it done and uploaded as soon as possible. It will improve the quality which is a win for both a creator and for BeamNG to have their product showcased properly.
This is not limited to BeamNG, all kind of brands often publish to e.g. youtubers/reviewers first to help create publicity.
Furthermore, the creator program gives creators ability to make giveaways with keys provided by BeamNG and they also offer some sort of sponsorship.

TL;DR
it's not a bug testers program.
--- Post updated ---

That + time and resources can be spend on other things, than keeping a 32 bit alive..
