Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

Speaking of online games...how should disconnects be treated? The person who disconnected forfeits and is docked points? What about people who bowl 100 wides to waste time?

 

[Pat]

DBC14 identifies people trying to waste time in the field doing all sort of things. Like changing field settings after every ball etc. by having a count-down timer. If someone exceeds it, the opponent is asked if he would like to take a win.I guess you can't do much about people bowling wides on purpose. However, it will be good if people could be forced *not* to appeal on every delivery.

 

[kurtkz]

Hmm, interesting. I might try something like that. Luckily the game only lets you appeal when the ball hits the pads or there's a snick, so that *shouldn't* be too much of a problem...

@SetonHallPirate: Eek! I think I need to clean up what gets stored. I think it's related to storing the results of every single ball. I'll try to get a patch out over the weekend before I release the network stuff.

 

[FC Akash.]

@kurtkz Can you give me the new roster you made

 

[kurtkz]

@future cricketer: Sorry, mate. Didn't get a chance to do it yet.

@NAMAN: Run Launcher.exe and make sure that you tick Use Permission Mode. That should resolve the problem.

[kurtkz]

Ah, yes - that's a sound issue. Try turning off your sound in the game or download the latest patch (2.675) to resolve it

 

[kurtkz]

I'm struggling to get the network synching working smoothly I think I need to take a short break and come back to the problem. I'll still be around to fix bugs though, so please let me know if there's anything else that needs fixing

 

[KingRizzy]

Hi Kurt! Remember me?

Just wondering if you ever managed to get around to adding weather into the simulation?

 

[kurtkz]

@KingRizzy: Indeed - it's in the latest patch
