Hello respected community!
Just a smaller holiday update, but hope you will enjoy it as you do every year :) Obviously It is the Christmas quest with unique task and unique reward.
We were thinking about this year's challenge to use some of the new features like airports and planes and finally decided to fly Santa again with some kind of delivery mission.
There was quite a mystery (and a bit of stress from my point of view :) ) this year. The release of the Christmas mod ended up being way more spontaneous and hectic. Here is the reason behind it:
- Several weeks ago, we prepared the mod at our internal branches and continue to test and polish it.
- Meanwhile, out of nowhere, several players reported crashes, but mysteriously on the public branch, where the last update added planes in October :) Nothing changed since that day, and basically no crashes reported until December 17th.
- Fortunately, I quickly found the cause of the sudden crashes that started yesterday - The public version of the game still contained last year's Christmas mod - the one before the introduction of airplanes to the game, the one where you had to control Santa and find some old houses on the map.
- The old mod has its own time limits and on December 17th this mod was automatically reactivated. But since the game's codebase has changed so much, and last year Santa was the only flying object before the implementation of airplanes, it's unfortunately no longer compatible...
- So I've released the new Christmas mod within the hour after finding the cause of crashes. It is reimplemented Santa and added new task and new reward.
I have to apologize to all of you who encountered those crashes between the 17th and 18th of December. I will keep improving and polishing the game and continue testing the mod, but hopefully the current version is a lot more stable.
And last but not least, I want to thank you so much for helping me improve the game, reporting crashes, and keeping an eye on our virtual traffic worlds! You are the best community I could ever dream of and I want to wish you all the best for the holidays!
Best regards,
Jan
