I've been in enough closed betas to know that, when you take it seriously, it isn't playing, more some sort of work. Experimentals is closed Beta, pre-release is open beta, after the closed Beta. Per KasperVId not going to discuss further in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Sierra Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 So release draws near then ... If the KSP store doesn't crash on release day I might just be willing to forgive betraying the faith and confidence of 50% of your players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Store was actually fairly good for .. er.. 1.0.5, I think it was. Possibly the earlier versions of 1.x too. It pretty much died on "0.90", but they seemed to fix it up sometime past then. Or multiplay.co.uk or whoever did, anyhow. Prior to the change, I had to wait two or three days before I could download the Store version (I own both, but I prefer the Store version when possible). I'm expecting the full release of 1.1 to carry on the tradition of being able to download on day 0. Normally I'd like to be cracking the whip (Y'know, Harv, monopropellant is only 20kg for 5 units, not 2t, yes?), but they actually did well in recent releases for the Store version. Mind you, I'm not going to be enjoying ANY new version at this rate, as I had to change from the incumbent DSL provider (who can't be counted on keeping a connection running for a whole month) to the incumbent cable provider (who can't be counted on keeping a connection running for a whole hour at anything higher than about 50 bits/sec)... so maybe I should post an angry post about KSP leaving out non-internet customers, and demand that they mail me hourly update CDs for the 1.1 open beta.

zarakon Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 If you bought it at the KSP store, can't you do a transfer to Steam if you really want? Or was that a limited time offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfds Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Now if we only had some kind of Updater that allows to apply incremental updates to an existing installation. Then a whole lot of drama would not exist at this moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you could download the U5 game one time, and then only go for updates afterwards. Issue here is ofc that you need a much bigger infrastructure over a longer timeframe than usual, ergo costing personal hours and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarStreak2109 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well, I am lucky, I bought KSP twice. First on steam, the second time after it went to 1.0 to show my appreciation for the dev team. Just hoping the modding world doesn't have to big problems adapting to 1.1... I fear the worst for "legacy" mods such as KW, since they are kindof essential...... at least to me. Haven't yet found a worth replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo Kerman Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Congrats on entering Experimentals! @KasperVld out of curiosity, how does somebody apply to participate in Experimentals? I've been modding in KSP for over a year now and have created just about every part type, and made some pretty complicated stuff like PartModule/resource switching at runtime. I'm even in the process of making a paraglider for KSP (I haven't seen that one before). I also have professional experience as a software engineer, including engineering level tech support and feature development for an iOS product. My experience might be helpful for Experimentals testing. Edited March 6, 2016 by Angel-125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John FX Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I see experimentals as not playing the game. You play the game to have fun, you test experimentals to find bugs and you do things differently when you are looking for bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there is still some confusion between being an experimental tester and a Steam Opt-in Pre Release post experimental "tester". If you are a steam user you have the option after experimentals are over of opting in to play *cough* I mean "test" the new 1.1 for a couple weeks before official release and theoretically report bugs if you find any, so they can be fixed, though there is no obligation to do so.
