Only stable versions of ZK!

Firepluk 12 years ago Hello! I think this is wrong to autohost unstable versions of zk, like v0.8.11.1 We need to make available only stable version like v0.8.11. And change to next version automatically only when next stable version will be available. Who will support? +0 / -0
Firepluk 12 years ago I'm tired of downloading by 140mb+ 2-3 times pre weak and have randomly bugs in game, like today when i was unable to use shift key to make orders. +0 / -0

luckywaldo7 12 years ago Any version with a v0.X.Y.Z is stable. Testing versions are denoted by revision number, i.e. r3918. As for updates, you should really really really be using rapid. Rapid means instead of re-downloading the entire .sdz of 98% redundant content, you just download the changes. What operating system are you running? +0 / -0
[pikts]wolas 12 years ago I prefer quickpatches like now .1 and .2 than alfa beta rc and so on. Because look at XTA, SpringTanks, they play latest beta anyway so whats the point in decreasing already small community. Of course some testing before releasing is always nice : +0 / -0
[GBC]Fred 12 years ago actually luckywaldo i've been curious how to get rapid to work? im on windows +0 / -0
luckywaldo7 12 years ago Idk how it works on windows. There is always ZKLobby, but I think there should be a rapid-gui also packaged with spring. +0 / -0
Skasi 12 years ago What? Nooo!! I want test versions back! Years ago we only ever played test versions. It was so great fun. Stupid bugs were fixed in less than two days and we got to play a new game every single day!!! PLEESE +0 / -0
jiero 12 years ago Yeah, bring Test Version back so people can devs for slow bug fixing +0 / -0
luckywaldo7 12 years ago Test versions never went anywhere. Host with 'zk:test'; also Oxygen autohost always hosts test version. (Also you can download from svn) And iirc we played test version because lots of PW1 things needed fixing in the mod itself, not to mention we found more inter-faction imbalances in that month or two of PW than in like the entire two previous years. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 12 years ago We initially just played test version. There was no concept of stable, each version was expected to work and mostly did. +0 / -0
NeonSturm 12 years ago can we link the download-game to a rapid command? +0 / -0
