Next public patch... when?
 

When can we expect the next patch to come out? I'm really eager to try out my first game using the Temporal tech tree, but darn it, the quad damage bug makes it kinda lopsided http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You could always make a second install, and patch that copy to 1.67 instead of 1.78. The TDB bug isn't in 1.67.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

1.78 also fixes a lot of things. I don't feel good reversing to patch1.

So, any (un)official date of patch public release ?

I believe that Mr. Data has conducted some experiments with boiling pots, and his conclusion was that a watched pot takes exactly the same time to boil as a pot that isn't watched.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

Ah, but that's only if he was utilizing his internal chronometer.

*slaps forehead* Oh my god! I'm a trekkie!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Then someone told him to turn it off, and he looked surprised when the thing boiled during the fadeout?

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

There is also at least one mod out there that deals with the TDB bug somewhat. You could go with one of those and then convert to the new patch when it's available.

dumbluck,
Since I'm sure you use Atrocites ship sets you can't be a *true* trekker

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

Zero air pressure, and it boils instantly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif No watching involved.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

It also depends on how many people are standing around watching it. You know, our breath is warm... so the more people the faster it will warm up. No? Oh... Ok... I just had to get my strange answer in here somehow... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Have you read the short story "Marooned off Vesta" by Isaac Asimov? The story is based on exactly this principle.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

What are we up to now.... 1.84 or so ??

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

Latest Version is 1.82.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, the boiling of the pot will depend on whether there is an observer looking at it. Until there is an observation made, the pot is neither boiling nor not boiling; it is in an indeterminate state in which there is a probability distribution of boiling/not-boiling possibilities. The instant someone looks at it, one of the possible states becomes the actual state, and the other probabilites fall away.

I have to get my strange answer in here, too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The strangest thing is that the strangest answer (Kamog) is probably the true one.

Unless you're in the Cantina, anyway, in which case cartoon physics apply.

Re: Next public patch... when?
 

If a pot boils in the kitchen and nobody hears it did it make any noise?
