Beta 1.1?

by Steve Acaster · in Torque 3D Professional · 11/17/2009 (7:10 pm) · 6 replies

Just wondering if the Powers That Be were thinking of releasing a beta for 1.1 for the licensees to test prior to full 1.1 release?

Release 1.0 had a few issues (some of a rather glaring nature) which could have been avoided/resolved if there had been a final beta prior to shipping.

that would be a neat idea, hope they do it.

agreed. only because i want a newer version than 1.01 due to that whole normalmaps issue on collada stuff they've apparantly worked out.

You can plan on there being a beta for 1.1.

@Tom: I think that was more of doing a pre-release before 1.1 goes from Beta to release so the small nagging things that were fixed in 1.0.1 get picked up before it actually ships *if I am reading right*. Something like a 3 day window so they can get reported and fixed up before the final shipping. There will always be something of course, but I would imagine it would make the end product a tighter release without screwing up timelines too much.
