Currently Archaeology can still be expected on the 30th of March.
We're taking additional measures to ensure we can deliver on March the 30th, but at the same time we don't know what impact Covid-19 will have on our studio. We're reassessing it every day and will keep all of you informed.
Just as a quick note - you can expect a small Cold Fix to come this afternoon - this is not the game update.
The best place to self isolate is in Gielinor.
Make sure you're atleast one tile away from any player, NPC or monster to avoid spreading it.
Guessing you meant reassessing! Reassing is.... Something different, I'm sure.
Edit: stay safe, and take care of one another.
This is what you get when you have to work on a different laptop from home :)
Why do I get the feeling that archaeology will get delay by a month
To me, the likelyhood of this happening would be incredible small.
Any information about the log in issue yesterday that was only solved after reset? Lost a whole day without being able to play runescape.
I believe a temporary fix is to delete your cache manually (going to the folder) to fix it . A more permanent solution is being worked on.
When was the last time Jagex missed a Monday update? It must have been before I started playing. Anyone know?
We tend to not release on Monday if it's a bank holiday too.
Mod Poerkie hope all the J-Mods are busy training Construction at thier POH atm hopefuly they dont come back to to office with too much RSI after building all those flotsam Prawnbrokers =)
The majority of us are working to some capacity from home and will only receive more access if the day progresses. so maybe a bit of RS3 for some of us, but we'll be getting a lot of work done too!
Hot fix is an update without restarting the game, cold fix restarts the game. I think that’s the right way round anyway
Correct! We have a Warmfix too, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails...
I think I remember hearing on a livestream a warm fix is a client restart
Correct. I was testing you, and you passed <.<
Basically means the player has to reload the client if I recall.
Correct!
I think it is already ready to be released. But if there is big bugs on launch, they may not be able to fix them from home, which makes it risky to release.
Code lock was on Friday, so it is exactly this. It's ready to go, we just need to confirm we have the resource remotely to jump on any fixes that may need to happen with release. We're working on it, but don't foresee any issues.
So what does this mean for Archaeology?
Business as usual, really. We're all ready to go and we expect to launch on the 30th (pending any further guidance from the government), it's just a case of making sure we have the ability to have enough staff working remotely (and safely) to cover a game update of the size of Archaeology.
Correct! We have a Warmfix too, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails...
What’s difference between a cold fix and hot fix?
Hotfix:
A change that we're able to make on the fly without requiring players to do anything in order for it to come into effect.
Warmfix:
A change to the engine, that requires you to restart the client in order for it to come into effect
Coldfix:
A change that requires us to restart the whole game in order for it to come into effect
Will the Linux client be fixed this week?
It won't be fixed in this weeks update, sadly.. We're aware of the issue and working our way through getting a fix live for it. This has to be part of an engine release and they are generally a bit slower than regular fixes.
Great decision on Jagex's part. Stay safe, everyone. I'll be humming the first four bars of Sea Shanty 2 about 10 times a day! 🌊
Aw yis.
So no stream this week? A shame. I want to see you guys up there coofing all over each other.
We intend to livestream tomorrow, what format it will follow or how it will look is still being discussed. Stay tuned for more info.
Please launch as planned, this will get loads of people to stay inside lol.
Doing our bit 💪
Kind of a thought here:
Why can't we know what the update is if its going to be delayed until later this week?
and that being said Id be open to having all proposed update info given to us 1-2 days in advance to know what to expect and give us players a chance to approve or deny things
I think we could say what would be in the update, but likewise it would be confusing to other players because they will mostlikely assume it's actually in the game (because that's when we usually publish the news) To avoid confusion we've decided not to release that information.
1 or 2 days in advance would be during the weekend so it's far from ideal. Further more, 1 or 2 days generally doesn't give us enough time to make changes as the game-update is already signed off and any changes to this means it all has to be tested again.
