Sandworm Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That Win64 update is very very odd. Either they made some sort of mistake OR.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think it's either a troll or they pressed the wrong button, and then tried to cancel it why the release was in progress, and now some people have a partial/broken version.

cantab Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Seems like an erroneous upload. Some new features, some things absent, some things buggy. It's not the real final .90 that's for sure.Incidentally, one .90 feature that's not been talked about much but I spotted it on the streams. Info screens in various places that tell the player what they do there. Experts will probably just skip over them, but for new players that should be a big help.

Athlonic Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 That Win64 update is very very odd. Either they made some sort of mistake OR....Yep.I really liked what I saw so far, but I switched back for now, I don't want to spoil my "user experience" And yes these info screens are a nice addition.

Rowsdower Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Not a troll. Looks like a mistake. Or a stunt.The second one The update's still not ready for prime time yet, so if you managed to grab that 64 bit build, congrats, I suppose. It's not representative of what we're going to release, since it was a test and still quite messy, so do us a favor and mop up before you go, since the error has since been fixed.EDIT: Official word from HarvesteR: There was an issue that spawned from the way the x64 build was delivered. Wasn't a complete build, either. Edited December 15, 2014 by Rowsdower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandworm Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Speaking of hype, this is now on SteamDBDuring the last update hype blitz I remember the admin of SteamDB growing rather frustrated with so many KSP customers effectively DOSing his server. Again, nobody handles/manages/emphasizes/teases/promotes/hypes updates like Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they ask is that you don't refresh the pages, as they auto-update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandworm Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) During the last update cycle I remember laughing out loud as I watched SteamDB's admin plead for sanity, typed out "Speaking of the devil" in reference to KSP. In fact I think I still have a screenshot in my imgur. http://imgur.com/Wakx06HI guess, to get strait to the source, we could instead just keep our eyes on the KSP store. That should relieve some of the pressure on SteamDB. lol. Edited December 15, 2014 by Sandworm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryer_lint Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 OhmygodohmygodohmygodohmykrakenohmygodThis update looks amazing. KXP will add whole new levels of gameplay, Mk3 parts are fantastic, the new contracts will be wonderful, and the buildings will be [insert good adjective here].One thing I'm SLIGHTLY disappointed about is the style of the buildings, though. The old ones were so incredibly detailed and shiny but these just look gloomy for some reason... Don't get me wrong, I know that the art team has been working really hard, I just hope that the models will be improved at some point.Also, did anyone notice that BUILDINGS HAVE A SELF-DESTRUCT DEMOLISH BUTTON NOW!?

Whirligig Girl Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Did anyone notice that BUILDINGS HAVE A SELF-DESTRUCT DEMOLISH BUTTON NOW!?Why does this sign say the VAB is a Rocket-Vehicle-Build-Inator?Did you let Dr. Doofenkerman near the space center?

Zipmafia Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Aint no party like a kerbal hype party, cause a kerbal hype party don't stop!! ...at least until the update drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketPilot573 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Why does this sign say the VAB is a Rocket-Vehicle-Build-Inator?Probably because the VAB can simulate "building" a spacecraft, and then make it spontaneously appear on the launch pad.
