PC version 1.15.x discussion/bug reporting thread

Edit - removed to other thread.


AI audio for run calling is also all over the place, only seems to be said on the completion of a run. There are also calls when the batsman don't even move for a run.

YAY!! finally...been waiting for some of these changes for a long time. I'm super excited about the lofted sweep (the Shane Watson special) and lofted rev sweep (the Glenn Maxwell special). Also glad you've fixed the little glitching and silly run outs when the batsman drifts out of his crease.

Keep em coming BA.

Love it - can't wait for these changes to find there way to the Xbox ONE...

Any sort of time frame?

easy for me to say being on PC and playing on these already, but believe you me you shouldn't wish for them too soon. the longer the wait for console, the more time there is to make sure the additions are stable and working properly (and also to have more additions!)

Thanks for the updates.. But game is crashing while accepting invite.. It crashes for non host.. So please check that problem and give updates ASAP.

resumed a saved game this morning, and it didn't give me the umpires i'd started the match with. I wouldn't have minded but i'm playing in South Africa in 1982 and they gave me Steve Bucknor! Imagine the riots if he gave Graeme Pollock a dodgy LBW.

I exited (force quit rather than saving) and went back in and it was back to the original umpires. (Hurwitz and Smith if you're interested - yes I'm sad enough to have made obscure South African umpires from the early 80s.)

We'll have a hotfix for this within the next 10 mins.

Okay guys, so we have to apologise for this build going out with a crash in online.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to have it fixed tonight (it will be fixed as soon as possible on Monday). We have currently reverted it back to 1.15.6 so that the game can be played online.

But, in order for people to still enjoy the fixes that we have added as of today. We'd like to offer a 'Public Beta' version, for anyone and everyone to opt into. This will mean that you can't play online, but can enjoy these features offline for now. Anyone else will still be on 1.15.6 until Monday.

Follow these steps to opt into the 'DBC14 Public Beta' version.

1. Open Steam Client.
2. Go to Library.
3. Right Click on Don Bradman Cricket 14.
4. Click on Properties.
5. In box marked "Enter beta access code to unlock private betas:" enter code dbc14publicbeta.
6. Once code has been accepted, select the dropdown box underneath "Select the beta you would like to opt into:" and select "dbc14publicbeta - BETA VERSION".
7. Wait for game to update, when the game has updated correctly it will state "Don Bradman Cricket 14 [dbc14publicbeta]".
8. Click "Play".
9. To opt out of beta, follow steps 1-4, then select dropdown box and the option of "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs".

This version will be 1.15.7 for those that need to ensure it's that, check the credits and see that it says 1.15.7. Those that are on the non-beta version of the game, will be on 1.15.6.

Thanks guys and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
