Developer V2C Posted August 21, 2015 Developer Share Posted August 21, 2015 As of this update, joining via the LAN tab will be an actual LAN connection, even for Online servers. We highly recommend people who want to play private games to still start Online servers, but with Local only privacy setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyNamedChris Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 When are you bringing back the ping?theyre not, the new ping bars make it easier to make it easier to see if someone has good or bad internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyNotWhy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 theyre not, the new ping bars make it easier to make it easier to see if someone has good or bad internet The ping already provided the same information as the ping bars through color, adding the ping bar and removing the ping number is reckless oversimplification that nobody asked for. Anyone with a speck of computer notion knows how ping works, and this "making easier to understand" made it less functional as it provides less information than before. Honestly, what's the point? If it ain't broke, don't break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikelusPikelus Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So, on an off topic. Ever since this update, I've been having trouble starting up the game (Don't Starve Together Beta) on Steam. I currently use Window's XP and ever since today, the game start-up process was flawless and booted up quickly and efficiently. I have no idea what happened...

CaptainFun Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 theyre not, the new ping bars make it easier to make it easier to see if someone has good or bad internetUnless the ping reading that was being displayed was somehow inaccurate I don't see how it's any easier to tell. Online players aren't new to ping- it's not hard to read it. Even if it was, it's not like they couldn't have the actual ping displayed and the bars that tell you whether the connection is good or bad. Hell, it's not even clear what pings the game considers "good" or "ok." Also having the ping displayed helped me work out little problems with my connection. I know it can still be viewed via console commands but that's more hassle than there should be for information that is provided upfront in most online games. It's a dumb change. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what happened... from what i remember don't starve isn't really compatible with windows xp, either way you should upgrade since windows xp isn't really safe against viruses attacks like it used to.

Gingerbread Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ping info is crucial for an online game... 1 ping and 99 ping is totally different yet that bar shows them as they are same. That awkward bar just shows if it is in good, normal and bad range... Range is different than an actual ping. If I ask you the dimensions of an object you should be giving me the exact information. 1289x475x582 mm for example. Truncating the dimensions even like 1200x500x500 mm will be inaccurate. And your game currently gives the dimensions like (Above 1000xUnder 1000x Under 1000) which does not make sense. My internet is unstable. It ranges from 27 to 500. Mostly stays in between 27 and 90 and even these pings in good range, has different strategy. So writing bunch of codes to learn a ping is not really practical for an online game in which ping is really important aspect. Seems like I will be playing this game on my own instead of playing on servers due to my internet inconsistency and this absurd update makes it even harder... I dont wanna spam same codes over 100 times while i am in a server. We are trying to entertain ourselves by playing on a server with our crappy internet, and you are making it even crappier. It is not that hard to put a ping there and it does not change the performance of the game. Why did you even bother making that absurd bar? You should be working on cave updates instead of adding game breaking changes. I am really disappointed about this update. Hope this would be edited to satisfy community's wishes. Because it seems like a lot of people are not really happy with the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbread Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 theyre not, the new ping bars make it easier to make it easier to see if someone has good or bad internetOh really? Are you incapable of understanding from colors on ping? Like yellow colored ping means normal, red colored symbolizes bad ping and yellow is for good. Old style was giving the same info to you if you have either good or bad internet along with your accurate ping info. So this does not really seems like an acceptable reason to keep up with the current nonsense (sorry... erm update). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if they cant see the colors but can understand the bars? (and for the record i am perfectly capable of understanding ping so that wasnt necessary...)

Gingerbread Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Then you would have said it like that. Also bar and ping can be added at the same time. There is nothing bad to add accurate info along with a bar under that. And for colorblind people. They still need accurate ping info cuz that bar just represents a range and although 1 and 99 in good range they are rather different pings but your bar will show same result for both guys. So even though they are colorblind they may have an unstable internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
