@Chris: when i want to download Vectorblade B49 (VecFever version) i get the B48.
i don’t know if it is the new version,
could you confirm it?
Yes it was during the boss fight.
It was the “Run, Run,Run” sequence. I had the blaster and i was firing when i left the game suddendly. The Boss did not touch me.
Arghh! A new strange bug testing the game tonight: i was fighting the 2nd Boss (easy mode) when i suddendly left the game -> VecFever menu
Hi,
I tried the last version ( few hours); no crash for me 😊
Just my first impression -> very positive: screen / sound / calibration/ scores -> all seems good now 👍🏻
@Peer: Yes, nice hypothesis. That’s why it seems that there is no crash playing the Minestorm level.
Did you note voice bugs using the Atarivox+? I have to compare the beta 40/41 with this last version to be sure, but sometimes the voices appear prematurely cut. I heard abnormal sounds in several situations too.
A little point i noted: into the shop, the speed/bullet/rate levels are not centered using the new default settings.
A new crash for me too (“normal B47 version” – End of the level 7; double shots and bullets at max level) ; the frequency of the crashes is widely higher than before. They occur in very low levels now; luckily I made a new film of this crash
@Chris @Peer:
I sent it in your mailbox
I do not know if it is a begining of explanation but i found something tonight: i got 2 more crashes (easy mode – stack2larger version on VF) ; to get them i needed to have the speed and the bullets at their max level. Then using the double shots (pushing constantly the button 4) and moving widely the ship from the left to the right and from the right to the left without interruption i got the crashes. Another point i calibrated the square over the limits of the screen.
The symptoms of the crash are always the same: a sudden black screen and a continuous sound (it seems the symptoms are exactly the same for Chris). There is nothing to do, i have to switch off the Vectrex.
i never got a crash like this one whatever the game i played (classic or modern Vectrex games). Only with Vectorblade. I do not know if it can explain something but the square for the calibration is not perfectly centered on my Vectrex (but slightly shifted to the right side of the screen). The console was switched “on” about 15-20 minutes until the crash occured.
@Chris: i am so sorry to get a crash. Honestly it was a total surprise; i had the triple shot, no scoopies; the ship moved from the left to the right side of the screen. There were bonuses to pick up but i do not remember to pick up one of them when the crash occured.
This crash appeared quickly. So i will play again and again to measures precisely its frequency and the conditions of the occurence. I will let you know all the informations i can get.
I am going to test intensely the stack2larger variant too: if there is a difference we have to investigate why..
@Chris
In the VecFever (MKII) whatever the beta 47 version I get the message: “Flash Not Found – Default Options used -saving disabled”.
is it normal?
Hi Guys!
@Peer, @Chris: i tried the RAM checker : no problem for me; same result with the “endless” version. All worked well 👍🏻About Vectorblade: i would follow Peer in his suggestions to work on the fighter appearance, and all the things you want to improve before the release of the game.
So as Peer and Vtk said, i think it is a better idea to offer a specific Major Havoc project later (but not too much! 😉).
May be we can imagine something to “connect” VB to the future Major Havoc game: for instance a “secret tip” (to find on VB) opening hidden levels on Major Havoc.
Cheers,
Jerome
