Chapter 351 Editor problem!
Lilith felt like she was listening to a book from heaven: "Memory overflow? But what does memory overflow have to do with the Sword of the Brave? Why can the sword be brought out across save files?"
Gu Fan immediately corrected her and said: "It's not that you can bring out the Sword of the Brave across archives, but you can bring out all weapons across archives...
"Mr. Li, this matter is a little complicated to explain. Maybe to explain it in a more popular way, the metaphor may not be appropriate, but the general meaning is this.
“Because this Vientiane Editor has powerful computing effects and can calculate many powerful physical states in real time, its consumption of resources is also very considerable and must be controlled, otherwise many players will use low-end computers. It may run too laggy
“So in terms of memory processing, we use double insurance.
“On the one hand, when there are too many memory overflows, we will directly enable the game mechanism and comprehensively clean up the game memory; In the case of a small amount of memory overflow, some small mechanisms are used to make simple corrections.
“This is to allow players to have a more consistent gaming experience and avoid memory errors or game crashes as much as possible.
“The first insurance is the blood moon in the game mechanism.
“When a serious memory overflow is detected, the game will automatically trigger the "Blood Moon Event". At this time, the blood moon cutscene will be automatically loaded, and all monsters killed by the player will be resurrected. , and the system will take this opportunity to clear all caches and return the game to its initial state. This can basically solve more than 99% of the problems in the game.
"The second level of insurance is the self-correction function for minor errors.
"For example, when a player has a weapon stuck in his hand and throws away the currently equipped weapon, the equipped weapon will be stuck in the hand. Throw down all the weapons in your hands. Or, when the player has more than 14 weapons stuck in his hand and exceeds the memory limit, these weapons will also be automatically dropped.
“Through this method, we have optimized the game skills to ensure that players have a smooth and smooth gaming experience as much as possible, without frequent errors or even game crashes due to memory problems.”
< br>Lilith frowned subconsciously: "Why do we need to deliberately optimize this kind of thing!
"If the game keeps reporting errors and crashing, wouldn't it be able to collect more negative emotions? ”
Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "But... Mr. Li, we originally decided to use the element mechanism to collect negative emotions!
" If the game crashes, the players have not played the element mechanism. That part is unplayable. Then in the early stage, they will not have a good gaming experience, and they will not have many negative emotions when being persuaded to quit.
“This is not in line with the strategy we formulated at the beginning.
“At that time, if you, Mr. Li, do a simple calculation, you will find that the negative emotions generated by the game crashing to dissuade players from the beginning are not as good as Using elemental mechanisms to persuade players in the middle of the game will generate a lot of negative emotions. Then you will definitely complain about why I can’t even make the game run smoothly! "
The corners of Lilith's mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that Gu Fan had predicted her prediction.
If that happened, she would definitely blame Gu Fan.
However, Lilith still refused to admit it: "How could it be! I am an enlightened and generous hell demon! I would not be so unreasonable!" Gu Fan said hehe.
"Okay, okay, let's not worry about this for now. Can you continue to explain to me why this memory cleaning mechanism causes bugs in Sword of the Brave? Logically speaking, you are not prepared Does it have to be sufficient? There shouldn't be such a bug, right?" Lilith continued to ask.
Gu Fan explained: "Mr. Li, I just checked the code to find the problem with the operation of the player sticking the weapon in the hand. When we made the game before, we did not expect such an operation. Ah!
"We just set a value for the memory overflow. When it is lower than this value, the game can run normally without triggering a blood moon restart; only when it is higher than this value, the blood moon will be triggered.
< br>“But we didn’t expect that players would take advantage of this!
“Because the Wanxiang engine needs to calculate too much data, the calculation speed will be slower, which gives players the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.
“They get stuck in the corner, behind the scenes. Throw the weapon to the stuck position in advance, and then throw two weapons. At this time, according to the normal game mechanism, these two weapons should not be thrown out, and the interface will prompt "Cannot be taken out", and these two weapons should be returned to the backpack.
“But the player quickly presses the menu key twice to make the system quickly enter the computing state and then quickly enter the pause state. The system’s computing power is insufficient in such a short period of time, so the weapons in front and behind operate normally, but the weapon in the middle Got stuck
"It is in a superposition state of being thrown and not being thrown, and remains in the overflowed memory. When the player performs a bonding operation, the system determines based on the weapon currently held by the player, but the sticky The result of the combination is that the sword stuck in the hand is glued to the prop.
“Furthermore, the player will not clear the memory when switching the archive, so when the player enters a new archive and manually clears the memory. When overflowing, the weapon stuck in the hand will also be dropped.
"So...it became what it is now."
Lilith was simply stunned. She had no idea how the players discovered such a harsh and outrageous bug. ?
Is this scientific?
Is this reasonable?
Then she looked at Gu Fan angrily: "The final analysis is that there is a serious bug in the game! Neither you nor the test team found it!"
Gu Fan nodded sincerely: "Yes, Mr. Li , this is indeed a serious bug, I review it! But... this kind of outrageous bug, let alone us, is probably difficult to avoid even with the top production team in the world.
" After all, Wanxiang Editor is a new editor and it has many problems. We can work hard to optimize the basic functions and prevent more outrageous bugs from appearing. This is not easy..."
Lilith gritted her teeth: "But why do you accurately fix the bugs that collect negative emotions every time, but leave the bugs that make players generate positive emotions? ”
Gu Fan was shocked: "Mr. Li, don't say this nonsense!"
"You said it as if we can accurately find all the bugs in the game and selectively fix them!"
"If we can really achieve this level, we will have to ban a "bug fairy". Go and ask any programmer to see if this kind of thing can be done!"
