Update Speculation thread

It was going to release, but they found a bug.

 

And tdev said to check back "tomorrow morning" - at time of writing, it is about 3:50 AM, Tuesday, December 13 CET. Will probably have more to report once they are awake.

We didn't spam the thread with no evidence, tdev literally posted the first frame of The Final Countdown music video and later on said they needed a few more hours, check back tomorrow.

 

You're undoubtably asleep right now, but I'm curious, what was your favorite word in the devblog so far

 

I hope they add more “amenities” like openable doors for most cars, stuff like that. It’s always nice when you get something in an update you didn’t know you needed

 

I enjoy new "amenities" as well

 

I wonder if the update will be a split release. There seems to be so much content that it seems more plausible. Plus they’ve really only hyped up the Autobello bus.

 

If the update had released earlier in the month, like the 6th, I could absolutely see that happening, like with 0.24/0.24.1 last year and 0.18/0.18.3 in 2019. However, 0.24 and 0.18 released on the 2nd and 9th of December, respectively, with their followups being on the 20th and 19th. So far, the only major update released this late into the month that's had a major follow-up with new vehicle content is 0.5 and 0.5.1, released 18 and 30 December, respectively.

Otherwise, these holiday updates tend to be one-and-done affairs with lots of patches, like 0.8 (21 Dec), 0.11 (23 Nov), 0.15 (20 Dec), and 0.21 (15 Dec). 0.11 technically did get the "Snowmen everywhere!" event on the 8th of December, but that was an event that's never been used again and some skins that aren't in the game officially. That's not on the same level as a permanent, large piece of vehicle content like the Hop-Crawler or the Bastion and Bolide V2, so I don't really count "Snowmen everywhere!" in this context.

It still could happen, and with how much content there is in the pipeline, it seems quite likely, but it's pushing it a bit close to have two major updates in the same month.

EDIT: Also, as far as I can see, the devs tend to fixate their "hyping up" only on certain vehicles - the '96 Pessima and H-Series remasters didn't get many teasers (if any), while the Bastion and Bolide V2 did get a couple teasers. This update's teasers are heavily focused upon the Bello Bus, which will likely be the star of 0.27, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the other vehicles (like the XTV) won't be included with it in the same update.

 

another thing to wonder is what bug pushed back release by a day
hopefully a dev can tell us after the update drops

 

Hey PST also here but do you think It will come out in the morning just like 0.26 or maybe sometime after noon?

 

Someone on the subreddit mentioned it's a breaker panel on the real Pinzgauer.

---

PST is 9 hours behind Germany so it would probably release in the middle of the night, I plan on leaving my PC with BeamNG updates set to high priority in case it does lol

 

I would assume so, seems to happen out here every update say for the H-Series remaster which came in the early afternoon iirc

 

Who is PST?

 

It means "Pacific Standard Time", so the west coast of North America (Oregon, Washington, California, British Columbia, Baja California, and some other western areas). Alaska isn't part of the PST zone - it's an hour ahead.

 

why is PST?

 

The "qa_latest" branch was updated 6 hours ago. I'll check on it throughout the day.

 

as I understood, it is necessary to wait not for qa_latest, but for qa_stable, and then it will make sense
--- Post updated ---
in the last couple of hours, this thread has been silent so much..(I understand why)

 

How soon will SteamDB say qa_stable n be before Tdev Posts "The Final Countdown"?

 

Guten Morgen!

 

I hope today is the day. I think it was ment for yesterday but a bug must of happened i hope all good now

 

Yeah same here
