Ashes Cricket 2013 Bugs

[BigAntStudios]

Never disparaged anyone, just mobiling'd and early septembered 505, ourselves, everyone here, and last but not least his own staff.

Oh, i did forget, there is one more, he did manage to totally mobiling'd the Ashes brand and totally embarrass the collective cricket boards.

Funniest Ashes video I've seen so far

Whilst it seems almost cruel to keep pointing these out... 6s are recorded as 4s as well as 6s!

 

[barmyarmy]

Should I enforce the follow-on? Oh wait, it's crashed again.

Wow, someone is still playing this in 2014. I know MF told about longevity.

Don't worry, there's a lot more for you to find.... here's one of Mike's greatest hits, 9th August:

Hi Guys, Here is a brief update of WIP for this week past. We have isolated the memory leak which is 100% repeatable and we now know exactly where it is the code so we have a bunch of coders working hard to resolve it. We are still including more content in the game notably the planned DLC and other assets. QA has now ramped up 24/7 so we have regular sweeps of the builds to identify as many bugs as possible so we can fix them with optimisation continuing. We are currently on track for our scheduled submission dates and the team continues to work hard. Thanks for keeping the faith and I will update you further next week.

QA consisted of pointing and laughing for hours.

I tried hard to engineer a follow on situation and couldn't get it to work, so you got one step further than me.

Got rain yet?

How else are England meant to win a test?

No rain but playing in Aus not in UK.

I'm kind of torn between the funny bugs like the ball teleporting 6 foot to the keeper when you hit to slip or to the bowler for mid-off and the downright hilarious ones like the ball going through players who should be trying to catch it and not bothering to enable points for the tournaments with groups.
I think the runouts is still winning though. Maybe QA thought there were meant to be 9 suicidal runouts per innings.

I think they were going with the premise that AC2009 was fairly well received so they tried to get to the essence of what made it great.

 

[barmyarmy]

Kind of makes it worse that we're now talking twice in three games with the same MAJOR issue.

 

[MattW]

On a positive note, AC13 doesn't suffer from the annoying constant fumbling of the ball when trying to pick it up that AC09 did - they just stare at the ball and ignore it until they are ready.

Quick translation :

We have isolated the memory leak which is 100% repeatable and we now know exactly where it is the code so we have a bunch of coders working hard to resolve it

.

We have no idea what is going on with the memory leaks, or actually what a memory leak is, but the "coders" we hired over the internet for a dollar a week say they have it covered. Fingers crossed!

We are still including more content in the game notably the planned DLC and other assets.

Hahaha, no we're not.

QA has now ramped up 24/7 so we have regular sweeps of the builds to identify as many bugs as possible so we can fix them with optimisation continuing.

We are now forcing the intern we made head of QA to work 24 hour shifts for maximum efficiency. He says things are going ok but it's tough to be sure as he is now permanently hallucinating.

We are currently on track for our scheduled submission dates and the team continues to work hard.

We're forcing everyone else to work 24 hour shifts as well but no way in hell are we going to make any of our submission dates.

Thanks for keeping the faith and I will update you further next week.

Holy crap even I'm amazed by how terrible this flailing abortion of a game is! See you later, suckers. I'm out of here.

PS please buy the game

 

[Meet]

Buy both games, and let all of us be the winners.

 

[MattW]

I bought both, I've certainly got more of my money's worth out of the few hours I got to play DBC14 than I did Ashes.

So with the follow on crashing the game I realised that I had to get Australia past the follow-on mark before bowling them out.
I figured wide no-ball bouncers ought to do the job. Not a bit of it.

No ball. Nicked to keeper. Out. Follow-on crash...

----------

Edit: I'm defeated. My attempt to make it through an entire Ashes series is over. The game crashes regardless of the follow on mark. Oh well.
