on: April 14, 2008, 03:36:59 am
Please report your experiences with the TBP 3.4b release candidate release here. If you are reporting a bug here please note that not all bugs can or will be fixed. Check the list of unfixable bugs below. Also, don't post requests for new features, or new ships in this thread. Thanks all.

Unfixable:

1. Black square over buttons (game engine bug)
2. Skullar's epsilon 3 background (promised but never sent)
3. "Drums of War I" mission 3 "Dropping the Sledgehammer" and a background planet had a black square around it (I don't have the knowledge or tools to fix alpha channel issues)
4. Ships (inc B5) don't rotate in multiplayer
5. the RW Mission1 briefing (last stage) has still a incomplete voice file,
6. Asteroid model doesn't display when clicked in briefings.
7. Inferno build crashes in Multiplayer.
8. No rotation in subobject Multiplayer.
9. Cannot assign orders to DH Mothership (supercap object type hardcoded limitation)
10. Whitestar & Bluestar cannot be used in TvT or dogfight missions.

Is the Bluestar crash in COOP also unfixable?

Important things. You need the latest version to guarantee compatability with future campaign releases.

I can work around this one but modifying that mission but it will have to wait until after the official 3.4b release.

In the last release but not since the latest fix. But hey, why shouldn't it work?

It's a different game executable.  :shaking: Sure the changes are unlikely to make a difference to overall game stability but every now and again something unexpected happens. It's always worth a retest after an update. Especially when it's something as critical as the game engine.

I'll test it myself this weekend but hopefully someone else can also find the time.

It's a light blue/white text overlayed over a blue text. Same as the show. :)

Just installed 3.4b to get up to date for the multi session tonight (forgot last week and annoyed everyone due to mission transfers. Sorry. :nervous:), and I noticed that when the installer is finished, you have to use the 'escape' option to get out of it instead of being presented with a 'finish' button instead of the grayed-out 'proceed'. Really really minor, but I found it a bit annoying that you have to essentially click the abort button to finish installation.

Unfortionatly you didn't include the fov fix.  Is it planed for final?  Or is there a 3.6.9 build that I can use and still retain multiplayer?

The FOV fix is a 3.6.10 thing not 3.6.9.  Unless someone comes up with a major flaw this is most likely the final.

@FUBAR
Nope its not,  its a simple patch designed by Murleen. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,52185.0.html

True, its now committed to all newer builds.  But one of those is a mac version of the 3.6.9 build http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,52258.0.html

It would be a simple thing to include it in a windows build. (or at least it seemed simple enough for tinman to make a mac version)   I would do it myself if i knew anything about coding.

Wouldn't even have to be a new release.  Just put up a link to the new .exe next to the release.
