Dear Stormworkers,
We have been fixing crash issues! Thanks to all the players who submitted their crash dumps via Bugsplat, we have already solved 80-90% of crashes, with more crash fixes going live in today’s hotfix.
This graph shows the crash data submitted to us, colour coded by where the game has crashed. In this data, you can see where we initially launch the crash dump reporting, and then 70% along with the graph we launch v1.2.15 which fixes the main crashing issues and majority of crashes in the game.
These fixes follow several recent quality improvement updates in our recent focus in this area. While there are undoubtedly more of these updates to come, crashes are the most severe errors and it is really exciting for us to make such a significant improvement in this area.
We are also planning various lua API changes over the coming weeks and are sharing info on these changes ahead of time, after discussing with players involved in running servers and communities. Please see the changelog for full details.
Recently we announced the Carrier Command 2 release date and the VR version of the same game (including a new trailer). This game is out on 10th August which is just over a week. After this release, our announcements will turn to focus more on the upcoming Stormworks major updates, which are very exciting.
Much love <3,
The Stormworks Developers
v1.2.15 (Hotfix)
Fix – MP client teleport crash / defer tile removal on clients
Fix – Crash when blending toward a missing animation
v1.2.16-17 (Hotfix)
Fix – addon script missing base_price in older saves
Fix – crash when overloading an MC lua script (microcontrollers will now display a tick error should they fail)
Fix – crash when accessing an invalid bird perch
Fix – crash when attempting to render mc icons
Fix – crash when ending benchmark before a frame is captured
Upcoming Future Lua API changes:
The following functions will be reworked to return a table and is_success instead of individual parameters to make them more scalable/neat:
data, is_success = getVehicleDial
data = { value = value_primary, value2 = value_secondary }
data, is_success = getVehicleTank
data = { value = current_amount, capacity = capacity }
data, is_success = getVehicleBattery
data = { charge = charge_factor }
data, is_success = getVehicleHopper
data = { value = current_amount, capacity = capacity }
data, is_success = getVehicleSign
data = { pos = { x, y, z } }
