To be fair, I’ve seen a lot less sarcastic “Good job” messages recently. Everyone fucks up at some point usually, plus the desync issues cause “mistakes” that are absolutely not the player’s fault, and people seem to be recognising that.
I agree. Luckily I’m immune to online abuse in games. I’ve been on Xbox Live since the beginning, so my mother has obviously seen a lot of action.
At least they’ve fixed the flying players while constantly juggling.
It doesn’t fix it, it’s how you avoid letting get that close to you.
Can’t avoid bugs that randomly occur through normal gameplay unfortunately.
You’re very lucky not to have encountered any. There’s countless videos and reports of them online, and Sloclap have promised to address them.
If this hasn’t remotely been your experience, how do you know rainbow flicking fixes it?
The game is widely known to have multiple bugs affecting gameplay, from lags and desync issues, to crashes and even teams changing colour mid-match. In this case, and this is the second time I’ve seen it, the ball glitched into the ground after randomly bouncing around the pitch following a shot against the post before finally getting stuck. It couldn’t be interacted with at all.
Great game, but not exactly polished yet. This isn’t a wild take.
Xbox version. Buggy as hell.
This fucking game. I wanted to love it so much, but so many game-killing bugs wrecked it for me.
The style, the atmosphere, the lore, the whole chilled out vibe, everything just appealed.
Then bug after bug, some which hard-locked save games, just ruined it for me.
Shedworks, the developer, appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and we got one or two patches immediately after launch that fixed some performance issues, but there was so much more to fix.
I’d love to play a polished version of this.
Haha thanks, I’ve actually considered that before. Hacky, but if it works, who cares.

Yeah, and that’s fair enough. I hope it does get revisited.
Haha don’t put it on me, I’m merely a consumer!
You’ve already suggested feddit.uk, why not use that for UK Voyager installs? Anything that isn’t an instance that they can’t actually use would be good.
Speculatively, but it would assume prior research, which many people simply won’t do. If a de-facto app (say Voyager on iOS) offers a default option that’s unavailable for a selection of its potential users, it’s another hurdle within onboarding that is already the biggest barrier to entry. If we want to grow as a platform (more users equals more content), putting up a default wall saying “your kind aren’t welcome” to entire countries seems obtuse.
Yes, those potential new UK users can get around it by picking another instance, but the question is how many will give up if they can’t get over the first hurdle.
The suggestion of changing the default instance by region, where those instances prohibit specific regions seems logical enough to me.
It’s not actually complying with UK law, it’s removing it from the equation so it doesn’t have to. I don’t begrudge the decision though, it will have been a difficult choice to make. That said, it’s a sledgehammer approach to self-censorship, as a response to an inability to comply.
Like I say, I don’t have an issue with Lemmy.zip being unavailable in the UK. But I do think it is potentially damaging for Fediverse uptake to promote a default instance that is unavailable to such a large number of users.
For comparison purposes, the UK easily has the second highest number of Reddit users by country. It is a remarkable decision to exclude that potential market by default.
Yep, a region check that sets an alternative default for countries that are blocked by the default server makes way more sense than the default being inaccessible for them.
I’m not sure that the answer to a government’s regulation of the Internet should be an individual’s blocking of access for an entire country. Seems like 2 sides of the same coin to me.
Yeah I don’t blame you either. But I do think the default server should be more inclusive than less, particularly at the potential starting point of a user’s introduction to the fediverse.
Realistically that is never going to happen. The biggest issue the fediverse has is onboarding. People just looking to try out a reddit alternative aren’t going to bother emailing their fucking MP just because the default settings of an app won’t let them sign up. They’ll just give up and go elsewhere.
If we want to encourage growth, adding additional barriers isn’t the way to do it.
Bit shit for UK users though since lemmy.zip is blocked for them. Not exactly going to encourage new users from here.
Strangely provocative. But it’ll take more than that to convince me to take glue to bed.
