UomoCapra Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi everyone! Update 1.2 has just entered Experimentals! We’re eager to finally start the next phase of testing and getting ever closer to the 1.2 release. During experimental testing a crack team of experienced and hand-picked KSP players will throw everything they’ve got at the game to make it bend, blend and break in many ways. The goal is to catch as many bugs as we can, and to make the game as stable as it can be before we make a public test build available. Those of you who’ve been around for the 1.1 update will remember that we released a ‘pre-release’ test build for everyone to have a go before we officially released the update, and for update 1.2 we plan to do the same thing. Once the pre-release builds are available you’ll only be able to opt-in via the Steam betas, or through the KSP store. We hope you’re as excited as we are about the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates and Fly Safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Sweet. Well done, Squad, both on getting to Experimentals for 1.2, and for solving whatever logistic nightmares were required to get the public experimentals available on the store when the time comes. And with that bit of professionalism complete, I'm off to the hype thread to squeal like an excited child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alshain Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hmm, interesting. I have to decide if I want to do pre-release or not. Normally it would be no, but pre-release 1.2 can't possibly be worse than 1.1.3 can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yep, I'm ready. Will be anxiously waiting for the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passinglurker Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 to squad: be prepared for balance tweaks pitched as bug reports come pre-release time I'm not gonna let balanced fuel mass ratios get reverted so easily this time. to fellow player: please please please don't treat this as a "release but sooner" like last time we don't want to pressure squad into rushing this again.

Mycroft Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 What I want to know is if Danny2462 is in on the testing. If anyone knows how to exploit bugs it's him. AND he makes it into a hilarious video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Congratulations on reaching the Experimentals phase! I'm sure a lot of very hard work went into that, so thank you to the team for keeping KSP fun to play. Looking forward to playing with the new telecommunications system.

Wolf Baginski Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Just checked, and v1.1.0 was third week of April, then a hasty release of v1.1.1, and I downloaded v1.1.3 third week of June. It all seemed a bit rushed, but most of that feeling seemed to be from the deep upgrades, including a reliable 64-bit version. I still feel a little nervous, and I may not rush to an upgrade this time. Wait for the formal release. and then wait a little bit more. One of the things I am also wary of is the rush to release compatible mods. Some things need a library to work, some don't. And so much depends on Module Manager. It wasn't KSP that gave me the grief, and you do a far better job than some big-name outfits, but I think I shall pass on the opportunity to try the wonderful new software bugs. Good luck, guys.

Normally it would be no, but pre-release 1.2 can't possibly be worse than 1.1.3 can it? If experience from the 1.1 pre-release is any indication: yes it can You are really, seriously getting an active development build there. It will absolutely break on you in some way or another, and be patched every one or two days. These patches may or may not be vessel breaking, save breaking, or both. In other words: if you're not a modder intent on getting a head start with updating your mod, or a committed bughunter aiming to help out with reporting issues, don't do it! Prereleases are not for regular gameplay. Edited September 6, 2016 by Streetwind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
