suma 8 Posted September 9, 2011 Good news The good news is we have made very promising progress with multiplayer interpolation, which looks like it could have a huge impact on solving jerkiness and jumping of remote units in multiplayer. The progress was so good we are now inclined to include this in the 1.60 version, as it looks we will be able to finish this a lot faster than we expected a week ago. Bad news The bad news is this is likely to delay the 1.60 patch a few weeks - you are already seeing this on the state of the beta patch. While the interpolation is not enabled in it still, it contains some preparation steps which are not well tested yet, and are causing crashes, funny footsteps, visual jerkiness issue. Please, consider the patches 84391 and newer "highly experimental" again until the situations stabilizes a bit, which we hope should be within a week. We apologize to those who already expected the 1.60 to be released "anytime" now, we think the improvement we are likely to make within the weeks to come will make the update worth waiting for.

gossamersolid 155 Posted September 9, 2011 If 1.60 is going to make major improvements to warping issues as you say, then delay it as long as you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*tcf*jackal 10 Posted September 9, 2011 I dont see any bad news there at all! Good work guys. If that specific issue can be improved or even better, resolved, then as Gossamer says, please take your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rak 0 Posted September 9, 2011 I'm happy BIS finally taking actions to solve an issue that's been plaguing the MP for years . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted September 9, 2011 One interesting aspect about the 'warping' is that it seems to only (or mostly) occur to land based vehicles (including Men). So while Visual State Interpolation can improve the situation, I suppose there are some bugs / issues specific to land vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmarkwick 261 Posted September 9, 2011 Well I was expecting *actual* bad news, but a delay isn't anything to complain about IMO. I'm happy to see great advancements even in this relatively late development stage :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domokun 515 Posted September 9, 2011 Thank you for sharing this with us. Your candidness is as admirable, if not more so, as your commitment and dedication. Many developers (game industry & outside) would do well to follow your example. Just don't keep us waiting too long ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=seany=- 5 Posted September 9, 2011 I was afraid the bad news was going to be that interpolation is not as effective as was hoped. But if it is more time you need, that's fine. If this gets fixed it will be major mile stone for the RV engine. Thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
