Hi all,

I'm still testing but the build looks quite stable. Version v1.76 is now available here. Changelog:

- added power modifier to shots & editor
- rewrote audio component
- proof-of-concept version of audio commentary
- added initial version of highlight system
- optimized memory usage (also helps slightly with speed)
- fixed on drive
- tweaked batting
- fixtures are now generated in "rounds"
- fixed audio bugs
- fixed screenshots (F1) for non-standard screen sizes

To-Do List:

- add eliminator for 6 teams knockouts
- more testing

Cheers!

^^File not found Is the file name correct?

----------

I think you have the wrong URL. It should be data/Patch176.zip rather than downloadss/Patch176.zip right?

 

[kurtkz]

Crap, sorry about that. The link should work now...

The new update is rock stable for me while playing matches. I had one crash when I tried to click "Highlights" button as soon as the match had ended. Log:

Thanks Pat, looking forward to it. I'll see if I can fix that bug and a few others. In the meantime you should be able to watch highlights from the main menu...

That crash occurred when I pressed highlights from the main menu just after the match had ended.

 

[kurtkz]

Awesome, thanks Pat. Taking a look now.

@singhb: I'll fix that up in the next update.

Hi all,

I've scheduled the next update to go out tonight some time. I'm doing testing at the moment to make sure that there are no major issues.

Changelog:

- fixed bug in generating tournament fixtures
- added support for eliminators with 6 teams (I'll make this generic at some point)
- removed Auto replays (problematic at the moment, I need to rewrite this)
- Highlights packages are per match and not per innings
- Added View All button to highlights - this plays through each highlight in turn
- tweaked lofted shots
- tweaked AI aggression
- tweaked AI batting
- improved formatting on tournament fixture export
- minor text commentary fixes
- highlights now play to completion instead of ending at 90%
- power mod in shot editor works as expected now
- fielding restrictions in T20 come into effect at 6 overs, not 7
- fixed catches not given bug (I think)
- optimised audio engine

Cheers!
K

@kurtkz: I don't know exactly why but the game seems to crash at the select profile screen after selecting the profile (running a 64-bit version of Windows 7, occurred in v1.76 and the newest version)

EDIT: v1.75 was working fine with my machine

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, do you mind checking the options file for a line starting with "test" please? Make that line blank and it should work.

Tried that... yet it still crashes.
