Release 203: Bomb Augments!

[crypticworlds]

Nice. So I am guessing you move the bomb augment over the bomb to attach the augment to it. I am actually very curious how this works.

@Steggs101 Can we possible get a new creature in the next content patch? I think that would awesome for meteor hunts!

[Takritimous]

Revive augments work like warp augments in basic use. You just target a player

[Vonzhogen]

thanks for your feed back, maybe i’m wrong, when i first saw posts about the signs, it was already fixed because i tested it and it was there. Maybe i saw thoses thread the last week idk. Glad that is fixed for everyone!

[almund]

Nice!
Is there more fixes than listed?
I was able to complete item in forge that was stuck there since 201 and forged light sources aren’t blinking anymore. Awesome!

@almund

and forged light sources aren’t blinking anymore. Awesome!

Oh…this makes me happy.

I ran into this, too. The game told me my beacons were about to expire. I sent all my dudes to their respective beacons and everything seems to be okay.

It also auto-popped some settlement feats for me.

[Honourless]

Great, now I have to waste coobits to respec to slingbow for delicious augments. Damn you WS

Updated OP with details of hotfix 203.1.

Hopefully this update should fix the majority for PS4 crashes.

@Steggs101

Release 203.1

• Fix for client crash when compass pulses with more than >4 creatures simultaneously.
• Fix audio cutting out when new weathers are playing.
• Fix Chunk Download Limit setting not working.
• Fix text overflow in some languages in the exchange.
• Fix for occasional client crash when looking at a beacon owned by another player.
• Fix chunk cache write queue growing large resulting in using large amounts of RAM. This is one cause of crashes on PlayStation 4.
• Fix chunks not unloading quickly enough on PlayStation 4 resulting in using large amounts of RAM. This is the common cause of crashes on PlayStation 4.

W00T fixes

[Rumplypigskin]

No love, for PC people.

Summary

Jk jk, put your pitchforks away

@Rumplypigskin

No love, for PC people.

Because PlayStation is the best place to play.

[Rumplypigskin]

fights the overwhelming desire to go off topic

[sztosz]

I agree, that’s why always get most, and the juiciest bugs

[Venom]

Yes because the almighty PS4 race is strong and we can take it

[Iniquitouslegion]

lol PS4 is holding the game back, as it can’t compete with PC power.

[Venom]

This is all sarcasm of course lol i know PC is going to perform better overall. We cant even get test servers

[Iniquitouslegion]

lol but I do like playstation, I grew up on them. But games like this, which requires a lot of CPU power will be gimped in the long run. Honestly, I see a future if it follows the MMO status. Where PS4 support will dropped in the future, for support of the PS5 (only 1-2 years left until release)

Updated OP with details of Release 203.2 which only contains an improvement for PS4.

@Steggs101

Release 203.2

• When allocating memory on PlayStation 4 if a single allocation of direct memory fails try to allocate the block a page at a time. This should further help reduce crashes on PS4 due to highly fragmented memory.

[molav]

Anyone selling gold bombs and bomb augments?

[sztosz]

I really don’t know how code for PS4 differ from PC, But looking at my AMD CPU usage when playing boundless:

That small lengthy spike is when running through portal hubs.

I believe it’s RAM that’s holds down consoles. I got only 2 x 8 GB sticks of RAM in my PC, and the GPU has just 8 GB. But maxed out graphic, card ram usage is just over 2GB, while the game beside that uses almost 8GB. And PS4 (pro too) has only 8 GB ram overall (+1GB for OS not included in that 8).

But if it’s ram the downside is that Boundless can keep as many chunks in memory as it can on PC. I don’t think that PS4 is what holds back Boundless.

I mean consoles are notorious for keeping the game industry back, but it’s not such a big deal in case of Boundless.
