Well, or just wait a week or so and grab the next experimental. Could have been fixed.
Well, it's been a problem for me
since April-ish, so, uh. Yeah.
I posted about it on the official forums, too, but it seems to be unreproducible, and I'm sorta assuming it's a weird quirk with my laptop being terrible hardware or something.
Wasn't there an upgrade to
something in between the release of 0.A and the current experimentals? I thought I remembered reading a mention of an upgrade to something. Possibly to allow background music?
Also, since we're apparently talking about it now
(and I think I catalyzed it, aaAaAAAa), I think the way dev gets done for CataclysmDDA is pretty a'ight. Extra sorta window-dressing content - just random items and crap - certainly makes the game more flavorful, and that's one of the major things I love about Cataclysm, and why I dig it above other roguelikes - especially since each item has it's own viewable description and stats, as opposed to, say, DF, where you can make lil' trinkets and stuff, but which aren't very interestingly described (templated, cookie-cutter text), and while stuff like quality and all that are implemented, they're not really described to the player, which makes making informed decisions less reliant looking at the in-game item, and more knowing what the item's properties are in the code, and stuff. Things seem to generally get nerfed or fixed or whatever if they end up being too strong, and seem generally not end-all-be-alls (though I don't have very good authority on this, as I haven't really saddled down for a longplay in a long while - I end up getting distracted by trying-and-failing to bunker up my starting house, which inevitably fails).
Certainly, it could be worse - a certain other game I follow's development seems to develop cliques among the devteam, apathy amongst the leaders, and distance between the devs and players, which ends up causing tons of drama, little content being changed or added, and people gettin' assmad about dumb stuff in general. So yeah, it's pretty nice.
Kinda curious about what happened to the Kickstarter and the stuff that was supposed to come of that, though.
