Thanks for posting those screenshots Carla, I have not as yet been on the steam version but do hope to see the quick text and game based text added to the PS4 version.
I think they will be in the next patch, that i think is planned for this week. I think DL is trying to bring the feature set of both versions to the same stage as most the time doing that means far less overall work as your only dealing with basically one code base. I'm sure @mmaglutac can give a better idea of the plans mind you
Is anyone else having trouble viewing items in the store on the PS4? I am unable to see any items from the first store and the bingo store. Bingo store doesn't even load (spinning wheel) while the first store loads but no items.
Them two stores stock the paid (real money) items, they will not display any content to after the closed beta is done and the game is launched for real. Because everything will be reset after launch so everyone starts from a fair starting point.
Has anyone heard when the new patch that was targeted for this week which was to include the fix to the issue with the store? I messaged Miguel, but it's late and so he probably won't reply until the morning.
Last i heard they was hoping to have it ready sometime this week, but it was turning out to be more work and planned the fix, problem with patching on PS4 is they have to get the patch ready and send to Sony who can take up to 3 days to send it live, so they need to get as much into patches as they can plus do more in house testing, than they have to with steam, because steam DL can send a patch live when they like as they have control over that.
Yeah i guessed that would likely happen, due to how much work needs to go into the fix for the lobby, they have had to redesign how the side rooms (Poker & Blackjack) are shown in the Lobby because it was using up to much of the graphics memory of the PS4 and that's what is making the hard crash back to the PS4 os.
Okies, Miguel just replied saying that some of the changes are pretty big and so they might not get it out this week, but early next week for sure. That makes sense what you are saying about going through Steam for PC vs through Sony for PS4 too. From what I understand Sony has a lengthy QA process. I also agree that it makes sense to get more fixes into a single patch given the overall length of time to release things through Sony in general.
Miguel told me that for the PS4 closed beta, Digital Leisure actually has some special permissions with Sony so they are getting DL through the QA of their patches much more quickly, usually in a day, which is really great! He also told me this morning that they are actually putting the finishing touches on the patch today and submitting it to Sony this afternoon. So it could be up as early as tomorrow!
If the game becomes laggy after so long on it, and the text input seems to slow down, type /clear to clear the chat log.
