Early Access 4 (EA4) Interim Update 3

Not sure if some stuff has been updated in the last 48 hours, but I cannot get passed the 10 minute marker in any match anymore without it crashing, no obvious single thing, crashes happening in rucks, when passing, when kicking, when intercepting. All different teams and stadiums.

Did spot a new bug in 1 game though, player missed the pass and threw the ball in to touch, but I was able to run in to touch and collect the ball and continue to play, but could only run forwards so kicked the ball to the other side of the field, and lineout got awarded after the kick not from the pass.
linout glitch

Also something ive not noticed before. AI missed a conversion, and the following cinematic shows the referee doing an ā€œoffside penaltyā€ animation. Would be nice if rather than focussing on the ref it could focus on the touch judges waving for a missed kick with their flags behind the posts or something, as they are typically the main signal for a successful kick or not, and the referee simply blowing the whistle whistle in the background.

I hope I’m wrong; but with everything I’ve watched, read, and played, this game still feels very raw. I feel like it needs at least six more months of hard development work. Truth be told, it may hurt, but this is far from a fun game. :sleepy:

Something to pass on to the photogrammetry/player teams having seen more gameplay - there are still issues with Sale Sharks. Ben Curry’s hair is missing and the likenesses for Luke James (13) and Rouban Birch (8) aren’t 100% there yet.

outrageous update :rofl: !!!

out now but no online :frowning:

Hi guys got to say feel happier after seeing the new major update , big thumbs up to big ant studios ot is getting a lot better

Just some thoughts maybe is the lineouts maybe if we can choose maul or pass but still select where tou wanna throw it back front or middle

And is there any difference in kicking for goal stance ? Between different players not sure jist asking have not seen yet any

Also can we just get the right implementation on the offside rule when you kick anyone in front of the kicker is offside and must be overtaken by the kicker or a player who was behind the kicker sorry if I miss spell I am not really english

And can we maybe get a bit better graphics fan wise maybe a cutscene if you score a try wherw they celebrate and if you score the match winning points when time is over with a kick or a try the fans lose their heada and go wild ?

But just wanna say again big thumbs up to big ant they really are working hard to give us a decent game thanks guys

Surely this build is broken. Having come on leaps and bound in the last update this update is just dreadful.

The UI is awful and goes against the rest of the minimal aesthetic the game has going. It honestly feels like the offside and ruck indicators were done by an intern. Also the rucks are still a boring mess, is it ever going to change ?

Lineouts are broken. How did that get passed QA when the notes say mauls are fixed???

Player movement feels off and passes are back to being a bit horrid.

Fast scans for URC aren’t even in and the one showcase with RG is broken, it’s a low poly mess.

Guys honestly. Would of been better off waiting a week.

Please let us disable this new UI it is honestly the worst thing I’ve ever seen in a rugby game.

i really like the direction this is going in…

please please please give us the option to disable the offside line though!
Graphically, this game is tremendous
The gameplay is a lot better, and the franticness of the game seems to be implemneted alot better…the AI still needs to be a bit more ruthess on harder levels though as i am still scoring too easily
No more crashes at the start of the game or AI just staring at the ruck anymore…the game does still crash however stability has been massively improved

Overally really happy and impressed with this update…big thanks to the developer team :slight_smile:

While this topic will close soon as I get the new one up when I get into studio. Yes there will be an option to disable the new UI if that is something you will want to do. I’ll try get this into the next interim.
