Newest version, .121, lags up badly! older version was fine

Post by Dream Focus »

I had .6 before, and it working perfectly.

I started playing this game again, a few games just fine, then decide to update to .121. Severe lag problems.

Anyway else having trouble with this?

And shouldn't .6 be farther up than .121?

It says on the download page that 0.82.7.1 is the most recent version.

Why did Spring Lobby say .121 was and give me that? Is Spring Lobby giving the most updated version, or is that an error on its part?

.121 is probably the lobby version and 82.7.1 is the Spring version.

Lobby version and Spring Engine version, 2 different things.

Downloaded latest version of Spring, installed it in the directory of my old one, that erasing some of the mods I had on my list, while others remained. Oh well. I can download them again, and have the two I play most often anyway.

No problems now.

No. It's a version tag, not a decimal number. E.g read that as x.y (here x = 0). A version is higher/newer if the first number read from left is higher (121 > 6).

What I learn here is that whatever version tagging you use there will always be people that will be confused.

well "0." often means "version " in open source softwares, it won't ever be "1." it's like "0x" meaning "hexadecimal" so 0.121 = "version 121"

Why have a zero before it if its finished software? Usually that's done before everything is completed.

Should be 1 decimal and then a number, getting higher up as new changes are done, big changes having a bigger number. Be easier to keep track of things that way.

Yes, to indicate a beta status of the software.
When software is "complete" depends mostly on the developer's definition. You can still add features etc. so it's better called stable than complete.
