Kurt only those to crashes i had

Kurt, in the previous patch, batting against spinner was way too difficult even on Easy level. Has this been tweaked in this patch? I think it should be easier to connect shots (slog as well as ground) when attempting to hit the spinners on the leg side. Most of the times, I end up missing the ball and get LBW.

One more thing: Whenever there is a LBW dismissal, turns out that umpires want to take a look for no-ball. Shouldn't happen every time IMO.

 

[Dutch]

Am I the only one who thinks the appeal time should still be longer?

 

[kurtkz]

@Dutchad: Will do - I'll double the time again.

@Pat: Are the cross-bat shots the problem? I think I definitely need tweak those. Will do before I release the patch.

@markkkkk: I'm trying to recreate the bug where you can't move the cursor in career mode when bowling. Do you have a saved game for me that I can test?

 

[Pat]

Kurt: On-drive, flick etc. Should be easier to "connect" those against spinners. At the moment, it's too difficult to connect them, most of the times I miss.

Also, I hope you made note of the crashes I reported. Seems to happen regularly at the end of first innings of a match.

Regarding Auto-save, how does it work? I was playing in career mode, bowling first. The game was simulated except for when I was asked to bowl. I completed by 4 overs (Over numbers 4,6,8 and 14) and the innings ended after I simulated at the end of 14th over. After simulation, the game crashed and when I came back on, I couldn't see any auto-saved games.

To find an auto-saved game you go resume then auto at the bottom

Yea i have one

 

[kurtkz]

@markkkkk: Yeah, that's the hook shot. It's fixed in the next update. Can you send me the saved game please?

 

[Markkkkk]

Kurt that depends if you tell me where they are!

 

[kurtkz]

Haha, right you are. If you're using the permissions fix version it will be in the saves folder where you unzipped the game. If you're using the normal version it'll be in %APPDATA%\Cricket Heroes\saves.
