Patch 1.10 beta

[Omichron]

Thank you all for your help with 1.09 and the generated logs. We've been able to identify some common patterns in them. This is an attempt to fix the major desync issues. We're putting this beta up in order to see how it affects people in the wild. Please let us know if you see any improvement with the patch. As always, you shouldn't be able to match up with non-beta players.

To access the patch beta (if you're not already on it or if you got kicked out when we disabled it there for a while), go into the game's Steam Properties -> Betas -> Type in YouDoItForHimAndYouWouldDoItAgain -> Click Check Code (if you press Enter, it will be as if you hit OK and won't actually unlock the beta). At this point, you should be able to select patch_beta from the dropdown. Once you do so, an update will be queued and the next time you play the game, it will be using the patch. Returning back to the default branch is just a matter of picking 'NONE' in the dropdown.

If you would like to keep a backup copy of your settings/progress before applying the patch, feel free to copy the contents of %appdata%\Doublefine\IronBrigade somewhere safe.

We played Settlement survival with 3 people this morning.
Game started right on the 2nd try (1st try = Game state authentication failure) and stayed stable until wave 45.

This is a marked improvement over 1.09... on the last version it would take at least 6-7 tries to get a three player game to start.


In the middle of the game were about ~30 seconds where the game slowed down to a crawl.
At that moment I thought it would desync or somebody would drop out, but when the next wave started, speed went back to normal and everybody was still in the game.

I'd like to test 1.10 with 4 players, though.

I've just tried it with friend, and while the disconnecting has stopped, and we can "play" together, we still can't really play together, because the stuttering is still unacceptable. At one point, the game even froze for about 20 seconds, then continued in these strange intervals where you can kinda play for second or so, and immediatelly after the game goes into complete slideshow. After disconnecting from each other, we can play without any issues, which is what I've described in depth in other topic.

Other than the disconnecting, which doesn't happen anymore, I can't say this is significant improvement over previous patch, unfortunately.

I keep trying to put in the beta code but it just says it's invalid.

Thanks for these steady updates!

Did you copy and paste or did you type it in?

Also try pasting it in Notepad first and make sure you didn't accidentally copy a space or extra character before or after the password starts/ends.

Actually, it's live now, so I closed the beta branch. Forum post to come soon.

Way ahead of you, partner - several people already suggested this to me few weeks ago, didn't help. Developers need to fix it, then I'll be able to play - until then, only singleplayer for me.

Hmm, so this patch went out then? I don't see the forum post that Omichron referenced.

Edit: Still getting an instant authentication failure as soon as 3 of us load in.

Edit2: And now two of us in the same house can't even stay connected on the boat :(

It is almost three months now since the transition to Steamworks broke the multiplayer aspect of Iron Brigade completely. Please say that we are closer to getting it resolved, developers. Or be honest enough to say that it isn't going to happen.

Or, if not that, offer refunds and stop selling 4 packs of a game that can't be played by 4 players.

I'm just going to assume they had vacations just like anyone else...

[Oforfs]

Can we at least have any approximate eta for a fix?

Any news on the bugfixing front?
