Current Issues Warning


Hey there everyone,

Recently, I've found an issue regarding the build and the way it uses Steam Networking. This technically isn't through any fault of my own, just through the abuse of the Steam Dev Test App ID. For those who don't know, VALVE gives every person access to the Spacewar App/App ID(480) to test Steam features before they get their own App ID or for generalized testing. This App ID is usually abused by people who pirate games or crack them in order to play them via Steam. Sadly, people also abuse other App IDs for this in order to do this; so there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it.

So what does this mean? Sometimes, you'll search and search but won't be able to come across any servers. Mind you, it's peer to peer hosted so you only need one other player in this current build but because of these issues; it's kind of difficult to know if you'll ever get into a match. Your best bet is to just continue to find match/cancel search every so often to see if you can get into a match or not. Though it's not guaranteed at that point. I'm currently busy with some other networking features at the moment, but will try in the next week or so to push a build to mitigate these issues in hopes of making game searches faster.

The Godankey widget has been removed and I'm working on full Steam release!

Cheers,


Austin
