edit: Found a new bug 8) www.xzaz.nl/KaM Crash r2087 2011-08-09 20-19-08.zip

edit: Lewin, I also found out that the game 'hangs' every minute on :59 seconds.. maybe it just me but I wanted to notice you about this issue. I can't figure it out why this happens.
hi, we was playing for quite long time a then it crashed
crash report: leteckaposta.cz/309414138
Whole game was bit 'laggy', does somebody have any suspicion what was it? We restarted our computer but still. Could it be caused be variable ping? But we was playing on LAN... Sometimes it was going fluently, but sometimes it was twitching a lot.
PS: good work, very nice game/mod

Lag like that occurs when the game thinks the connection latency is better than it is, if 1 packet is delayed by 100ms more than the other packets, it will twitch, but it will also learn from that and increase the delay. (but on a LAN the latency should be negligible) Another possibility is that the two computers became slightly out of sync (one computer might have paused for a short time longer than the other when creating an autosave) meaning that one computer will "twitch" while it waits for the other to catch up.
Remember that the network algorithms like the delay calculation may need improvement later, for now we have something fairly simple that works fairly well.
Can we already make barbarians,rebels?
And is this the same with the ballista?
PS: I just played KaM Remake for an hour,i like it very much!!!

You could try asking TotalBiscuit if he's doing a review of this game. He's one of the big gaming channel guys on YouTube.
Shadaoe has become our Youtube promoter, he's going to record videos for us and post them on a KaM Remake Youtube channel. This will help promote the Remake and allow you to see what's new each version without having to download and try it for yourself.
Another important thing to tell you all is that future releases of the Remake will be in EXE installer form, and will not install unless you have Knights and Merchants TPR installed. (using the same installer system as SR3) This makes our project more like a mod so we are not distributing the copyright game files for free to anyone.
Don't forget to join the server kam.xzaz.nl at 9pm CET each Sunday! Shadaoe may try to record some of these matches!
Lewin.
Ah too bad, my video is not interesting without the end...
Btw it started to lagg at the end, autosaves might have been so huge !
It was really nice, even if the map had too much ressources in the storehouse at the beginning making a lot of buildings useless... I tried to separate half of the map but lego3 stopped me and started attacking my tower wall, I didn't have enough army to stop him and he was destroying the first line when I disconnected.

Ah dammit! I missed the match.
Now, this is embarassing. I give the idea for the sunday meeting and then I am the person who completely forgets about the time ... :ugly:
But congrats to you three who obviously had a good match there. This seems to be one of the first greater matches in KaM Remake.
You just made history. Be aware of that - one day you may be proud of it
Hopefully I can join you one of the next sundays!
