Now the Drums beat up again,
For all true Soldier Gentlemen.
Just got a cheesy idea, maybe considering adding Taxidermy to the game as as weird Upperclass hobby thing that goes arm in arm with hunting for pleasure with the current creatures? bonus points if the horribly stuffed remains can be cursed to become alive by the dark forces.

Thought you were safe from the Stuffed Fishman? YOU WERE WRONG.

It crashed on exit for me. Which I always find amusing, like fifteen minutes after I'd stop playing The Secret World I'd get a pop-up telling me The Secret World had encountered an error and needed to close. I also recall one game that would always throw an error on exit, and they either couldn't figure out why or didn't have enough time to fix it before release, so they just changed the error message to a thank-you. :v:

On a more serious note, I have minor complaints about the degree of hill that the game deems flattenable. I'm completely fine with not being able to level a cliff (Although it would be nice to eventually have some way to make a more obvious ramp in one), but I'd like to be able to tell what would and would not be flattened in an area.

You're probably thinking of Wing Commander; the game was crashing on exit in the EMM386 memory manager, so they binpatched the memory manager to display "thank you for playing Wing Commander" as the error message.

Well, yeah, but I mean I remembered this exists in a real fashion as opposed to a metaphysical "hmmm yeah people sure are talking about that thing that doesn't really exist" way.

Well, if it works...

Anyhow, if it crashes on exit again with 51H, let me know? Otherwise, it's probably the same bug in different shoes. Bugs wear shoes now.

My Steam Knight keeps walking past fish people who decide to mess with my crops.

Also are guard towers going to be a thing I can utilize to keep watch over parts of my colony?

Edit: The game crashes when I reach 30 people and get my little golden gift. Alternatively it could be the bandit raid that seems to want to happen at the same time.

Can you send me a DMP file for that? I got the golden gift this morning and it was fine, so... weird...

Most peculiar. Anyhow, Revision 51J is now up which should also fix the second half of the commodity bug, which we didn't notice for some reason.

Mild texture stitching bug. Which honestly made me look at where the algorithm's working properly and think "Huh, that's really good." Which I suppose is one of the problems with programming. If you're code's working right, no one notices.

Yeah, basically. There are a handful of bugs in the terrain blending and stitching code - I don't even think this is one of the worse ones - but it's just not getting looked at for now. Priorities!
