From Zyloh - CIG concering Patch I
Some people are concerned over the crashes experienced on the PTU, which is understandable, but I wanted to shed a little light. It has been mentioned that we are pushing out builds and failing due to crashes... that is incorrect. We are pushing out patches that we know have crashes in them already. Those crashes are being addressed already, and being knocked out very quickly. Layers of an onion.
Some might say... "Why release a build with crashes if you already know they are there?" One word: Data. We want to know how wide-scale these issues are and all the gritty details. Additionally, we would much rather continuously push the newest version of the game and have thousands and thousands of people hammer on it, because there is a chance new bugs can be discovered. PTU is not meant to be a release stream for everyone to just go and play. It is a test environment meant to plow through issues and get the game in a release-ready state.
We are methodical with how we are releasing patches. We are not blindly pushing crashy patches. There is a lot of thought, analysis, tinkering, and fixing that goes into the PTU. It is not an environment for the faint of heart who are just looking to relax and play in Crusader. It is for players who are willing to face the storm with an umbrella and assist with testing. I can confidently say that we are extremely happy with how involved the community has been and are on the right track to getting 2.0 out to everyone soon! The amount of issues we have come in on the issue council has been incredible. We definitely feel extremely fortunate to have such an involved community that is as excited to play this game as we all are. We are getting close and this is only the beginning!
