Realm Works 1.0.26 and 1.0.27 Now Available! - Page 3

I'm hoping that enough people are having the issue that it will get LW attention. If you guys over at LW are working on it I'd love to know it. Calling off a game will seriously suck and I don't want to call it at the last moment. Calling off a game will not do much for my groups faith in RW (which I'm pushing).

I've flagged this to the developers, but unfortunately I don't have any information at this time or an ETA on the fix. It's likely one of them will chime in with more information.

Thanks Liz. Knowing someone is aware of it helps.

The connection issues should be fixed. Please try again.

Just mind one important rule of thumb:

** Update not shortly before "game day" **

LWD updated several times before weekends and on rare occasions there were some critical bugs that prevented some players from using the software. So probably it's best towait with the update after your game and important edits are done unless the update brings some major news

Regarding downgrading I'm sure its possible. Probably you just have to put some of the backup versions that RW creates into the hardcoded DB folder. But it is probably safest to wait for the fix...

On the serious side LW may wish to go to a release schedules of Mondays instead of Fridays. I would say 90% of games happen over the weekend and employees and support staff are often NOT around during the weekend. This makes a bad combination really. Where a Monday drop would allow a week for people to install and get support with any issues.

One of changes I did on my job site was change the days we "drop" new releases into production. We changed from Friday's to Sunday nights as this way my support staff was on Monday morning and ready to support the business with any issues. The support guys where less stressed as it was the beginning of the work week instead of Saturday that is their day off. The business got better response and everyone is happier.

I couldnt agree more, Shadow. With both Hero Lab and Realms Works. I never update (if I can avoid it) on the fridays before games.

The problem is in the past with RW, it has sometimes "forced" an update (unable to sync without updating). With something like HeroLab, you can choose to wait (I always do), but RealmsWorks hasnt always allowed that.

In additon to Shadow's valid points about support staff, you probably want to time your updates for the least disruption possible. Many companies try to do their software releases in time when it will likely affect the least amount of users (my industry has very few users on weekends, so we release on friday nights), but this industry has the majority of their users on weekends, so maybe fridays is the worst day for LWD to do software releases.
