“Saved game issues with long computer names fixed.�?
The Stress keyword “long�? is used here and it is in reference to a problem that occurs
when trying to perform a function (saving the game) with the long computer name,
so this is a Stress defect.
“The Ultridium Explosive damage has been increased.�?
Here is a function that wasn't quite operating the way it was intended. The damage
increase is not limited to a particular configuration or condition and affects some-
thing that happens during gameplay (the In-Game operating region). This is simply a
Normal defect.
“Death will no longer break chat in MultiMatch.�?
In this context, “death�? is part of a player's life cycle: Spawn-Fight-Die-Spawn and so
on. Death's place in this life cycle is to initiate a “restart�? of the player's character. This
restart breaks the chat function. The defect is a Restart defect.
“The visual graphic indicating that you have the flag in MultiMatch Capture
the Flag matches has been enhanced.�?
Problems don't just have to happen in game logic to be considered bugs. Here one of
the graphics effects was improved. The solution is not related to a particular condition
or configuration of the game. This is a Normal defect.
“Teams are no longer automixed on map restart in MultiMatch.�?
