Re: [Audyssey] MOTA small bug, and a suggestion
Hi, No, it is probably how the programming instructions were written. Keep in mind programming is basically nothing more than feeding the computer a set of instructions to follow. Sometimes those instructions can get called out of order or the processor gets backed up and an instruction gets called too late. Either way the sound or whatever gets called at the wrong time producing a nice runtime bug. Bryan Peterson wrote: The sound bug is actually kind of common in mainstream video games. I have tat old Game Cub Game Simsons: Road Rage and sometimes some of the crash sound effects wil play after the game ends. I think it has to do with how the machine reads the disk. THen at other times someting will happen and the speec will stop for a time, then the next time a character does say something it basically goes nuts and says every line that should have been said up to that point. This can be pretty funny depending on who you picked up in your car and what they would have said.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA small bug, and a suggestion
Hi. Only thing I can think of with the torches not going out is some wierd confusion as to whether the game is being stopped or whether I just died and am being restored to the last point. Kind of a funny bug though. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 11:55 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA small bug, and a suggestion Hi Scott, Yeah, the torch bug is one i've been trying to track down for a while. it happens so infrequently it is hard to pin down, and a bug that doesn't really make much sense because the game tells that sound to stop when exiting and it doesn't always stop. As far as adding staircases to the view menu that's a good suggestion. It probably won't make it in beta 4, but I'll save the idea for a future beta release.

This only seemed to happen on expert difficulty level though. Wasn't sure if it was something you were aware of or not. Also a small suggestion. Perhaps stairs (I assume they are stairs) should be announced in the view list along with ledges and doors and suchlike. I can build up a pretty clear picture in my mind of that part of the level now that I know where to head, but the picture would be clearer from the outset if I could find out for sure from the view menu that when my footsteps change I'm on stairs. Just thinking of it from the point of view of a first time player who might be more cautious.
