ANNOUNCING BUGFEST FOR NEXT SUNDAY

by Hazed

Next Sunday is BugFest day!

From reset on Sunday to reset on Monday, Fed2 will be put into “no save” mode so that Alan can try to narrow down the cause of the crashes when players set up new characters. He’ll put back in the code that allows you to create new accounts - and invite you to come and crash the game!

Over the course of the day he’ll add new debug code to record what actually happens when the game crashes, and with any luck he can then fix it and get you to test it for him.

On Monday, the game’s persona files and data will revert back to the version taken at Sunday’s reset.

So nothing you do on Sunday will be saved. As well as helping us to stomp bugs, it’s another chance for you to visit those risky places you are afraid to go, like the Martian ruins or Earth’s wilderness area. Or you can try your hand (or equivalent) at bungee jumping off the roof of the Galactic Administration HQ (only a small chance of death, honest).

Everyone who takes part in BugFest will receive a special award to commemorate their participation.

Have fun helping us fix bugs!
