PC Public Preview Update Now Available

[MattW]

Just to note, the PC Preview build of the game is now identical to the main public version. There is no need to change settings - if you are on the preview you are already up to date.

Played two T20 matches and here are the following I noticed. (Hard all, Legend)

* AI's bowling and field placements were quite challenging except the PowerPlay period

* I set a good hard track which should and was a pleasure to bat, the ball was coming on to the bat nice and sweet.

* Edges are now more often after the patches, previously I used to get very less edges while batting in limited overs than in tests. Now they seem to be balanced, even AI's edges a few times owing to variations.

* AI shots are a mix and not whack! whack! whack! .. After the Apr 26 patch, AI was too OP for me to bowl and I got more interested in checking out the batting mechanic. But today I tried it and it wasn't that bad considering my sub-par bowling skills. The shots AI was playing was just beautiful to watch even while I was on the receiving end. There were many mistimed shots which gave me hope to bowl and not make me feel depressed about my lack of skills.

* AI's run pacing is very well tuned, it doesn't go all out for the money neither does it play defensive shots in the last over anymore.

Now on to some niggles..

* While bowling with 'bowling far' camera, the camera doesn't show/pan out to the fielders gathering the ball if inside 30 yard circle and is stuck on the bowler's follow through. As far as I observed it seems to be just fine outside the 30 yard circle.(Edit: Apparently its now gone in my third game)

* The pro cam drifting/panning out away from the bowler as he delivers the ball. This has been mentioned by many of us previously but it still is existent. I love the pro cam, but this is frustrating.

* Online running bug, sometimes it happens offline too. I did notice they have the changed the pre-game loading screen (waiting for players) so hope they fix some of the issues present in online too.

Thanks for patching the game regularly !

Guys, forgive me if this is obvious, but I've just got the game on Steam (previously a PS4 player); will the game be patched up to date with this patch or will I have to manually download it?

If automatic downloads for the game are set then it will be automatic. I think it is a standard so should download updates as soon as it's installed.

You might need to opt into the public beta build i think.....right click on the game in steam and properties...beta...

....not sure if this is a full public patch or a beta preview patch......so dont know whether you get it anyway....have a look at the version number under general settings/credits to make sure....


Ah just read Matts note....no need to opt in....patch is the the general patch for everyone
